Choosing a skateboard based on shoe size
How wide should your skateboard be?
When choosing your complete skateboard, deck width matters ... a lot. As a rule of thumb: the larger your shoe size, the wider your skateboard deck should be .
But don't worry, it's not a law written in stone: if you have ogre feet and want a narrower skate, go for it, you're the boss.
Choose your skate according to your shoe size and avoid drama:
- Size US 7 / EU 40 → table from 7.875″ to 8.125″
- Size US 8 / EU 41 → 8.00″ to 8.25″
- Size US 9 / EU 42 → 8.00″ to 8.375″
Example : For shoe size EU 40, we recommend a full board width of 7.875″ - 8.125″.
Our skateboard size chart provides clear recommendations for choosing the deck width that best fits your shoe size. And if you want to get straight to the point, use the "width" filter in the shop to see only complete skateboards in your perfect size.
