Overview

The Chaya Melrose Elite Skates feature a re-envisioned Melrose boot that combines classic style, modern features, and impressive performance. These skates are right at home cruising the boardwalk, in the streets, on the dance floor, or at the skate park! All Melrose Elite models come with soft outdoor wheels, ABEC9 bearings, and a durable nylon Shari Plate that features a secure toe stop clamp and an awesome Chaya Controller toe stop. Even that toe stop is slightly offset on each skate so that it sits in a more natural and comfortable position under your toes. Melrose Elite Skates are sure to give you a skating experience like never before!

 

Bubble Switch Sole (BSS)
The second generation of Melrose Elite Skates feature a Bubble Switch Sole. Embedded in the heel is a replaceable shock absorbing cushion that can be swapped out to improve comfort or power transfer.

Sizing Chart

GENERAL SIZING GUIDELINES
Skate sizing can differ from skate to skate and it is generally very different from shoe sizing. We strongly recommend using foot length to determine your skate size. Detailed instructions on how to measure your feet can be found in our Learning Center by Clicking Here.

LoveThese are more comfortable than some boots/shoes I own! Just as much padding in the bottom as the sides. I usually wear a size 9, 9.5 in tennis shoes. I got the 41 and it’s perfect. I can wear thick socks or not with no issues.

Beautiful skatesThese skates are awesome. They are true to size. No break in time at all. I have owned so many pairs of skates and these are my new favorite. I have owned Fame sure grip, Moxi beach bunnies, Moxi lollys, and moonlight roller skates. Until recently moonlight roller were my go to skate but these Chayas are on point. Worth the money. They need to make black ones now please. lol

My go-toChaya is my go to brand, and these are by far the most comfortable out of the others I've worn. The style caught my eye first with the chunky heal and more retro style. You get quite a bit for the price. Boot is very padded which I like because I have slender feet, but not as padded and uncomfortable as some others. Size 8 shoe, 39 skate and these fit me perfect not loose or too tight like others. Easy to get on and off. Nice outdoor wheels and wicked 9 bearings. Did trade out wheels(the outdoor wheels are nice for a smooth slow cruise but too slow for a skatepark) for my Fundaes that are my go to wheel for a faster yet still smooth ride. Handles great at skateparks and just rolling around too plus they are super cute!

I LOVE theseThis is my second pair of Chayas... I almost returned the first one because I wasn't sure but I am so glad I kept them. I got these on sale and they are a step up from the other Chayas. Love the color, so comfy.

Fantastic SkatesJust got the Elite Purple Evil in today and this is my second pair of Chaya's. The sizing is perfect for me. I wear an 8.5 US women's and I wear a 40 in the Chaya. My toes are not squeezed in either the tip or sides. The wheels rolled right out of the box but I loosened a bit more and loosened the trucks a little. Wow! I thought my Chaya Ruby Red Deluxe were great, and they are! but, these Elites turn on a dime and roll like silk. I am in my 60's and 5 months ago, I started skating again for the first time in over 45 years. I have severe arthritis in my left ankle from a triple fracture ice skating. The Chaya boot is well padded and stiff, which is good for me and my ankle. Even with the short wheelbase and 20-degree or 15-degree kingpin angle (depending on whether it's deluxe or elite), these skates are stable. Chaya, if you're listening, all you need to do now is build a skate identical to the Elite Purple Evil in black. The same material of boot as the purple evil. Simple black. No bling; no pink; no stars. Just a simple black elite. I will buy them if you do. I need/want black skates.

secureThese are great for beginners in that it helps to feel secure and comfy in your boots. Unfortunately, the sizing was off for me, no matter all the measuring and double checking I did. I am 7.5-8 in street shoes and the size 7 are pinching my toes. Thankfully, these fit my niece perfectly (she's size W7 in street shoes) so she uses them now.

Excellent beginner skates, great quality This is my second pair of Chaya skates. I also had the Turquoise Melrose Deluxes, which I really loved! I only have one issue with their sizing. I am a size 7.5, and ordered a size 7 (ladies 8), first. Just a bit too big! So, I ordered a size 6 (ladies 7). A tad too small. If you are a half size, I suggest going with the larger size, and getting a half size toe insert to get the correct size. I would have done that with my turquoise skates, had my niece not tried them on, and fell in love with them! She is a perfect size 8, and they fit perfect for her. I ended up giving them to her, and she used them almost every day last summer. They have held up well! She hadn't worn a pair of skates before then, and they have taken a beating! So, I can attest to their quality.

Previous Feedback  

Comments:These are a much better fit for my feet than the Moxi skates, as I have a wide toe box and the Moxis are too pointy. The material is nice and stiff and gives good ankle support, just make sure you wear kneesocks to prevent blisters.
Unfortunately, it seems that they're not going to hold up too well for trail skating. When skating on asphalt, I tripped on a rock, went down into a single knee slide, and drug the toe of my skate behind me. The material on the toe ripped clear through to the lining. I emailed Chaya customer support and they said they couldn't help me.
I'll be putting toe covers on the skates to keep things from tearing further, but I'm really disappointed in the quality of these skates.

Comments: I really loved this skates. The sizing is off though. I am an 8 in woman's and ordered an eu39. It was too small. I returned. The skates are really cute though. They are very padded and the padding feels like memory foam around your feet. I really recommend these skates. Just pay attention to sizing.

Comments: Im very happy. Theyre are just like in the photo. I try them are so comfortable. I love to used them and recommend them.

Comments: I actually really recommend these skates. I got these originally for myself until my moxi lolly skates and bont parkstars came in. This has AMAZING ankle support, sound structure, and comes with really good 78a wheels.
I just got the wrong size. But! My friend who's foot is half a size smaller than mine bought these from me and she LOVESSSSS them. For beginner skaters I woukd recommend chaya over just about anything. With Derby Warehouse my orders always come in quick and well packaged. I am going to get another pair of these but in a larger size. They are made out of a strong vegan material that has already held up to over 20 falls with minimal scuffing.

Comments: I love my skates!!! They're so comfortable, and fit like a glove! Inline Staff were quick to respond with answers to any questions that I had. 10/10 would recommend these skates & IW.

Comments: I was worried about sizing since this is my first pair of skates. They fit perfectly, and they were pretty comfortable in the feet! They were just as cute in person as they were in the photos. Very satisfied!

Comments: I was very fortunate to find a pair of skates in my size due to the COVID shortages. The skates are true to size; I wear a US size 8 ladies shoe and the EU 39 fits perfectly. The skates go over bumps smoothly and the it's been so fun to get out and about
