Shoe size street shoes: 38 for pointy toe, 39 for round toe, 40 for sports shoes.
Risport size: 38
Graf size: 39
Same as street size, therefore.

Female aged 54. UK street shoe size varies between a 6 and a 7 (usually head for continental size 39 first and then see) - no idea what that is in US sizes. Think my boots are a 39, but wouldn't swear to it (Gam 7500s).

Oh oh oh!!! That's it!!! My shoe size is US (10), and my skates are 8.5, so if I convert my shoe size to UK, it's 8.5, same as skates so we could say that skate makers (worldwide) just follow UK sizing, at least for ladies boots...

Erm, no, sorry. My UK shoe size is 4 or 4.5, so nowhere near my skate size.

Age/Gender: 39/female
Current skate size: 10 B Harlick Competitor (waay too small/narrow...feet grew with pregnancy)
Shoe size: 11 c or d (US)

Just went to get fit for new skates and I ended up ordering custom Harlicks due to my oddly sized/shaped/problematic feet. I have no clue what size they'll be. Definitely bigger/wider than my current pair!

This international shoe size conversion chart might help:
http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html#adult

I know I wear U.S. size 7-1/2 and Japanese size 24, and those convert to U.S. men's size 6-1/2, which is the same as my SP Teri boot size. So maybe the boot mfr is using men's shoe sizes for the women's boots? Hmm. .. Are the men's skating boots the same as their street shoes or a size smaller?

Me: Female adult, street shoe size 7-1/2 C. SP Teri skate boot size 6-1/2 with B+/C- width ball.

My skates aren't custom, but I did have to pay a little extra to get the split last. It was TOTALLY worth it. My bunions aren't squeezed, and my heels don't move.

Skate size 8 A/AAA
Shoe size 81/2-9 M

My Harlicks were a custom but they would range from a 7 1/2 to an 8 mostly they customized my narrow heel and extra hooks for my scrawny ankles.

Street shoe 7 1/2 B
Skate size 6 3/4 (SPTerri custom, that is the size of the base) with combo A/B width (B at the toes and A at the heel).


Makes me crazy when a woman goes to public skate and says I wear a size 8, and they give her a size 8 skate....those are men's sizes! She should be given a 6! They she can't understand why her ankles turn in.
