Why Getting the Right Heelys Size Matters
A proper fit isn't just about comfort — it directly affects your control and safety when rolling. Heelys that are too loose can cause your foot to slide, making it harder to balance. Too tight, and you'll lose circulation and quit rolling before you've even started.
This guide walks you through exactly how to measure your foot and match it to the right Heelys size, whether you're shopping for a first-time rider or upgrading to a new style.
Step 1: Measure Your Foot at Home
You'll need a ruler or measuring tape, a piece of paper, and a pen.
- Place the paper on a hard floor and stand on it with your heel against a wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe (usually the big toe).
- Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters.
- Repeat for both feet — use the larger measurement.
Pro tip: Measure in the afternoon or evening when your feet are slightly larger from daily activity. This gives you the most accurate fit.
Step 2: Use the Heelys Size Chart
Heelys sizing runs true to standard US shoe sizes. Here's a quick reference:
| US Kids | US Women's | US Men's | EU | Foot Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Y | — | — | 32 | 20.0 |
| 2Y | — | — | 33 | 20.8 |
| 3Y | — | — | 35 | 21.6 |
| 4Y | — | — | 36 | 22.4 |
| 5Y | — | — | 37 | 23.2 |
| 6Y | 6 W | — | 38 | 24.0 |
| 7Y | 7 W | — | 39 | 24.8 |
| — | 8 W | 6 M | 40 | 25.6 |
| — | 9 W | 7 M | 41 | 26.4 |
| — | 10 W | 8 M | 42 | 27.2 |
| — | 11 W | 9 M | 43 | 28.0 |
| — | 12 W | 10 M | 44 | 28.8 |
Step 3: Choose the Right Style for Your Foot Shape
Different Heelys models have slightly different fits:
- Heelys Pro 20 — Our most popular style. Runs true to size with a standard width. Great for first-time buyers and everyday riders.
- Reebok Club C x Heelys — Slightly narrower through the toe box. If you have a wider foot, consider sizing up half a size.
Half Sizes and Wide Feet
Heelys are available in whole sizes only. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up — especially for growing kids. A slightly roomier fit with a thicker sock is more comfortable and safer than a snug fit that restricts movement.
For wide feet, look for styles with a mesh or flexible upper that can accommodate a broader foot without pressure points.
Kids vs. Adult Sizing
Kids' sizes (labeled Y for Youth) go up to size 7Y, which overlaps with women's size 8.5 and men's size 7. If your child is between a 6Y and 7Y, check both the youth and adult size charts — adult styles often offer more colorways and features.
When to Size Up
Consider going up one size if:
- Your child's feet are growing quickly (add a thumb's width of room)
- You plan to wear thick socks
- You're between sizes on the chart
- You have a wider-than-average foot
