Sizing Info

What size should I choose?

Seba skates are manufactured and sold in European sizes, so your standard shoe size won't work. You'll need to measure your feet according to the directions below and then find your size on the appropriate chart.

How to measure your feet.

You'll need paper, pen, a flat wall and, if possible, a buddy to help. It's best to measure your feet later in the day, after you've been on them for a few hours.

Find a hard floor with a flat wall. Tape a piece of paper down so that it touches the wall. Stand on the paper in bare feet, with your heel just touching the wall. Have your friend take a book and place it so that it just touches the tip of your longest toe. Mark the spot where the book meets your toe. Do this with both feet and use the larger of the two measurements. Measure your foot length in millimeters, if possible. If you measure in inches, be sure to measure in 16ths of an inch.

Choose your size from the charts below. The "Max Foot Length" is the longest foot measurement that will fit into that size. The US Men's column lists the sizes found on the box. The US Women's column lists a generic size conversion.

Sizing for Control over Comfort

Our sizing advice is targeted to a freestyle or dance skater who wants a very snug fit in their skate to enjoy maximum control. Our instructions will give a fit that prioritizes control over comfort. If comfort is a higher priority, or if you have an especially wide or oddly shaped foot, you may do well to choose a size larger.

Notes about Width

In general, the Seba High has a narrower fit through the foot, and the FR1 has a somewhat wider fit. The Carbon is a bit wider through the toe box than the High, because the carbon fiber boot has less flex than the plastic boot of the High.

Fit and Break-in Guidelines for Each Style

Seba High/Deluxe/Carbon: The Seba High is notorious for its difficult break-in period. Even in the proper size, expect the skates to be uncomfortably tight when you first put them on. The memory foam liner will, however, slowly mold to your feet as you wear them, and you will end up with a proper fit once they are broken in. When your skates arrive, spend some time wearing them in your home over the course of a few days. This will help you to get accustomed to them and will start the process of breaking them in.

FR1: The FR1 also has a memory foam liner, though with its looser overall fit, it shouldn't be quite as tight as the Seba High when you first wear them. Nonetheless, patience is recommended as the liner does change more than you imagine it will.

Seba GT: Since the GT is more of a recreational skate, the fit does not need to be as tight. If you are near the boundary between two sizes, you would probably be better off to go with the larger size.

Igor: There is not currently a sizing chart for the Igor, but experience so far is that the Igors run large, and most people wear a size smaller than they would wear in the Seba High.
