Old missions were sized to match your shoes. So a 9D in those was my sneaker size. Way back when I got those I wasn't aware or properly fitted I guess, because I didn't realize that my toe should just brush the toe cap and that by baking the skates they'd stretch and not hurt my feet. I've had these since bantams, which was a long time ago! Should my previous skates have been 8.5's or maybe 8s? Probably. Should I wear 8.5s in Nikes? 8s in other shoes? Maybe. I go to work in sneakers so I don't really have much of a base to compare my shoes to. Vapor X6.0s, the 6.5 fits like this 6.0 does in the TotalOnes. When I tried on the 6.5 in APX's I noticed what felt like a similar half size bigger in that boot. I took a risk that the TotalOnes would be the same half size smaller than the APX (I read about it in several places but still wasnt sure if it'd work for my feet) but it paid off. The cost was too low to ignore even if I had to pay my LHS some money to punch out and stretch to get it how i liked it. Edit: Viking put it better than I did. I went 13 years between buying skates and never knew how a skate should fit and how moldable they really are. Had I known that at the time I probably would have went for a different skate or size entirely. At the time I got my previous pair I was lucky to know what I liked

I didn't get customs made there, but Jake and Jake's Custom Pro Shop in El Segundo is easily the most knowledgable person/pro shop in the LA area. Call ahead to make sure they do custom Bauers but I'm pretty sure they do.

I wear size 9 Nike sneakers comfortably, wore 9D mission flyweights that were super old and apparently too big for me. When those broke I tried on size 6.5D vapor X60s and toe was just brushing the end cap as per a good fit, but when I went to the APX i found there to be a bit more room. These are size 6D and 6 1/8thD and feet fit just fine. Little tight on one foot but after a rebake and 2 long sessions the pain is going away.

Picked these custom TotalOnes off of eBay for 132.00 with new LS-3 runners and Eagle skate guards. Sometimes it pays to have small feet apparently. Skated twice on them and they are great.
