Not sure about how sizing compares to other skate brands, but when I got my CA7's it was 1 1/2 sizes smaller than my shoes. Perfect fit for me with my toes just barely touching the toe caps while sitting.
I completely agree. The first screenshots I saw don't compare to seeing these in person. Something just isn't translating when looking at the pictures.
Picked up a pair of CA7 skates just before Christmas. Justin's active posting on this thread, alone, made me try on their skates. Fit and quality made me buy them.
