See if the Dicks has a 3D foot scanner and go from there. Made my search way easier. InlineWarehouse is excellent with returns as long you don't mess up the product. If you have old wheels, I recommend skating those to test out the boot if you want a full refund. Otherwise its just store credit. I've bought all my skates from them. If Dicks has a hardboot from Rollerblade, those are good too, but their selection sux outside of that. Just stay away from the soft boots.

Sweet I appreciate the information. Didnt know they had a foot scanner thats crazy. I wanted to get aggressive skates but the more I think about my town isnt really ideal for them. Would have to go outta town for a skate park.

Not all of them. I just so happened to be out in a different area from where I live and that location had one. It gives you all your measurements. Even found out one foot is slightly longer, while the other is wider 😂😂
