Hi it's me...agian :) I was wondering where to buy Riedell 133 ts online, international since i live in Norway. But almost everywhere I go the width sizing is medium or wide, not AA, B, C ect. Only the ones for US and canada have the propper width sizing. I don't know if i'm wide or medium, im 8,5 b according to riedells sizing. What should I do? And where do you buy Riedell skates?
Please help someone :)
We get ours fitted at a skating store.
I would guess B is medium.
The Riedell 133 TS comes in two different widths: Medium and Wide.
Medium ≈ B width
Wide ≈ C width
Higher-level Riedell skates like the 255 use the AA/A/B/C width letters.
Can't help you with the ordering part though, sorry. I think the UK people order from Everglides.

Thank u :) how did you know that ISK? Maybe u can send me a link?
Go here for Riedell's own site, with all of the info on the boots (and the eclipse blades, too). I"m Canadian... we buy thru a skate store. But, I would be leery of buying them without trying them on. Riedell doesn't fit everyone.

The Riedell catalog is on their website here:

It shows that the 133 TS only comes in a Medium and Wide width, but the higher-level skates use the traditional range of widths.
My kids used to wear Riedells and I have several students who are Riedell wearers.
Plus, I ask a million questions at vendor shows and in pro shops.
Thank's again! :) Now I can finally order my skates! :) I got confused, I didn't see any information on Riedell site really. So the 133 are generally wide?
Only if you order them wide.

Again, it's that "Riedell" issue. They fit like Riedell skates ... and they fit feet that fit Riedells (totally useless to you I know). Riedell, regular width 133s, fit my DD's extremely narrow, high arched, and "not thick" feet beautifully. If it helps, she fits Nike running shoes, but, not Adidas or New Balance regular width as her feet are too narrow for both, particularly in the heel area, and is too high arched for Adidas.
If you absolutely cannot get them fitted, then, I would measure your foot and contact Riedell's customer service for guidance.
You may also need to get them adjusted after you get them ... is there anywhere you can get them punched out or otherwise adjusted?
BTW: we just moved out of the 133's and into a higher level boot with the "next level" Crescent blade. We found a significant difference in the blade (toepick, edge quality) which has made an immediate difference in the skating quality.
okey, no I can't get them fitted because there are no skating stores in my town. I contacted Riedell but they havn't given me any answer yet. That was like a couple of weeks ago.
But hey I thought I'd risk it... My foot is not very narrow, that's why my size in the higher level boots is B not A, AA or AA. Now I a bit confused, you're saying I sould get them wide? Isk8NYC said I should get the regular.
You said there were no stores in your town. I live in a very big city for figure skating and I still drive an hour away to go to a skating store. The cloest one from my house would be a around 45 minutes away, but I wasn't impressed with that place.
Anyway that's not the point. Ask around your rink, ask your class coach ask another skater they will tell you where to go and it won't be riedell.com. Seriously there are no skating stores in my town either, I drive an hour and I consider myself lucky.
I called Kinzie's Closet and they were very helpful with sizing.
