Any info when the new line of Alkali skates will be released? Thanks

Hi guys, I ordered some new RPD Comp skates a week ago. Wanted to make sure I get the correct size as we have roller league starting here in NorCal this week. Pretty much every shoe I am US size 12, also my ice skates, Bauer 8090 is size 12 (D). I know Alkali recommends ordering 1 to 1½ size smaller skate than your shoe size. I also called IWH to confirm this was correct. So I ordered size 11.0. Didn't work in my case: when I received the skates they were definitely too small: I know the heel would sit further back if I baked them but they would still be small even after baking. Frustrating. I returned the skates and found CA7 lightly used in size 12.0. These are slightly large but at least they fit, seems like 11.5 would be a perfect size for me. Too bad those Comps don't come in half sizes. I noticed the Alkali footbed (uncut) in these CA7s is about ¼ inch shorter than the boot, is this normal?
