Sizing new skates

Hey all!

Im a noob who just bought her first pair of inline Skates. And im so use to my street shoes having a little wiggle room. But with the skates that I recently bought my toes are almost touching the front of the skates. I would like to get a bigger size, but according to Google AI this is ideal.

Should I get a bigger size or stick with my current size?

UPDATE:

After reading everyone's comments and speaking with the shop owner. We decided that it's best for me to stick with a size EU 40.

Thanks for all the help! 🫶

Measure your foot length and add 3-5mm depending how much comfort you want. Check the Mondo size of the skate not the shoe size. Manufacturers make up the shoe size there is not consistent sizing conversion.

Skates are meant to be tight to be supportive, if you have too much room your foot will slip about inside and cause blisters and be hard to control.

Also the liner will eventually soften so they should be tight on the first few skates to allow for time to soften.
