CCM 652 Super Tacks Men’s Ice Hockey Skates Size 6.5 - 40 - D/A

According to chart, these would be equivalent of a (US) size 8 shoe - see below

Hockey skate sizes are different than regular shoes. Please last picture for CCM size chart.

Method #1

Generally speaking, senior hockey skates fit 1.5 sizes down from a men's shoe size while junior and youth hockey skates fit 1.0 size down from a boy's shoe size. For example, a player wearing a size 8.0 men's shoe size would select a senior size 6.5 hockey skate. For Junior or youth players who have quickly growing feet, selecting a skate only a half size down is an option to allow extra room for growth.

Keep in mind hockey skates sizes vary between manufacturers so it is important to always check each product page for that specific skate's sizing information. Generally speaking, a vast majority of players should fit well in a Medium Volume Fitting skate in the Standard D, R or E width.

Method #2 - Foot Tracing

This is the most advanced and accurate way of finding out your skate size not just in terms of length, but width and fit type too. All you will need to get started is a hard surface to stand on, a blank piece of paper, a pen/pencil, and a measuring tape or a ruler.

Step 1. Place the paper on a hard surface.

Step 2. If you wear skate socks, put them on now and then step onto the paper so that your entire foot fits on it with spare room around the entire foot.

Step 3. While standing, take the pen or pencil and begin tracing. Keep the pen/pencil perpendicular to the paper while you outline your foot. Keeping it perpendicular prevents you from measuring underneath your foot, which would give you an inaccurate foot outline.

Step 4. Measure in centimeters the distance from the furthest point of your toes to the end of the heel. This will be your foot length measurement. Now measure the widest point of your forefoot, this is your foot width measurement.

Step 5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for your other foot. This can be done on either the backside of the paper that was just used or you can use a new, blank piece.

Step 6. Take your Left Foot Length Measurement and divide it by your Left Foot Width Measurement, this is your Left Foot Width Ratio. Repeat this step for your right foot to get your Right Foot Width Ratio.

Deciding on a Skate Size

Now that we have your length measurements, width measurements, and your width ratio for both feet, it is time to find your skate size. Use the longest length measurement of the two and compare it to the "Length in Centimeters" column in the hockey skate size charts below. If your foot length is longer than 25.1cm, use the Senior chart. For foot lengths 24.7cm or shorter, use the Junior & Youth chart.
