An Apex XC size is an EU range, e.g. EU 29–32, EU 33–36 or EU 37–40; you choose it on the product page. The shell expands within a range, so one pair covers four sizes.
Choose the range in which your child's foot falls in the lower half — that leaves room to grow and the skates last longer.
The manufacturer's description gives EU sizing for this model without the insole length in millimetres. If you know your child's foot length, write to us — we will confirm the range before purchase.
The frame length (195, 213 or 219 mm) and the wheel diameter depend on the range.
Every few weeks of skating, rotate the wheels between positions and swap sides — they wear on the inner edge. After skating in the wet, take out the bearings and dry them the same day. After each rotation, check that the larger wheels have gone where you want them: in the middle (rocker) or on the outside (flat).
In the frame and wheels. In the XC the middle seats of the frame are 1 mm lower, and the set includes wheels in two diameters, so the skates can be set up as a rocker or flat. The ordinary Apex has four identical wheels.
By swapping the wheels around. Larger wheels in the middle give a rocker, larger ones on the outside — flat. You do it with an axle wrench, just as with ordinary wheel rotation.
Yes. The brake is included, ready to fit, and can be removed at any time.
Four. You choose the range (e.g. EU 29–32 or EU 37–40) on the product page, and the shell expands within it.
