These must be men's skates because they are 2 sizes too big for me

I really wanted to like these inline skates but had to return them because the size was too big for me. I don't usually buy shoes or clothes online because sometimes the sizing can be wrong, but Revain and their reviewers are pretty good at saying the right things and describing their experience with the product, which in some cases helps me with the purchase. So I was also a little skeptical about these skates because I wasn't sure about the size chart. I read other people's reviews and Q&A and decided I would order the same size as regular shoes. And I was wrong - or were they? I wear a US women's size 10, which in Europe we call a size 41. So I ordered a size 10 on these skates because people said they were true to size. But when I received these skates they were US size 10 but the size chart also said they were EU size 43. That's 2 sizes bigger than I usually wear! The socks were too big, and roller skating on the street would not be comfortable and unsafe. So I put everything back in the original packaging and sent it back to Revain. Be careful, you may have to pay the return shipping fee if you don't provide the correct reason for the return! Got my full refund so I'm happy with the seller but I wish these skates did better. I have to assume that the size 10 I ordered was not for women but for men. Otherwise the European size would have been a 41, not a 43. I wasn't sure if I should backorder and go for a size 8, but I decided to just go to another seller and buy women's skates. They felt too big on the legs, so despite the color scheme, they should be for men. But the color combination (black, white and red) was very good and everything actually in these skates seemed very good and good value, but be careful of their sizing!

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Legacy Model
