Chaya Melrose Roller Skates Sizing Chart
According to Chaya, the Melrose boot runs true to the shoe size. Moreover, boots tend to run average in width.
These skates are manufactured in European sizes (EU), so your US / UK sizing could be misleading due to conversion inaccuracies. Furthermore, even if you know your European sizing, every shoe and skate manufacturer has a slightly different fit and sizing, therefore your standard shoe size might not assure a perfect fit but that is the best way to estimate your skate size.
Based on our experience, the best way to determine your skate size is to take a look at your current pair of inline/roller skates and/or running shoe labels for MM / CM / MP / MONDO numbers. These numbers indicate the maximum foot length that will fit into the pair, while MM shows the measurement in millimeters and CM/MP/MONDO is centimeters. Having these numbers along with the EU sizes from these shoes, you will be able to determine the size of the skates that you need by looking into the sizing chart below.
Important: measuring your feet to determine your skate size would be a good point of reference, but at the same time it leads to too many mistakes. If after following the instructions above you are finding yourself stuck between two sizes, you could measure your feet according to the directions posted in our Sizing Instructions. Also, we encourage visiting Chaya's Skate Guide.

Got these for my girlfriend (who is a beginner) and I’m grateful for the awesome sale ProSkaters Place had on these. Everything appears to be good quality for a beginner setup. I only have one complaint – they screwed the wheel nuts at the factory way too tight and unfortunately they damaged one bearing on each wheel, so half of the bearings are trashed. These are metal shielded bearings, so the fact they bent those shields is pretty terrible. I struggled to loosen them up with a proper skate tool and I’m a strong adult male. My girlfriend loves these so much and it’s fine for her to learn skating on trashed slower bearings with a lot of internal friction. Maybe Powerslide/Chaya dents these bearings on purpose to help beginner skaters LOL.
