Thanks for all the responses. I guess what I was getting at was I tried on a Mako M8 in a 6.5D and it felt the same as an original Mako in a 7D. Has anyone moved from the old skates to the new and found that the sizing was a bit bigger? With the 6D in the original Mako I actually could not feel the front once I bent my knees a bit into a skating position. My toe was touching more than I am used to though when standing, but I guess the actual skating position would be more important

It was actually the original Mako that I tried on in a 6D. Thanks for the help though. Could the Mako II/8 series fit slightly bigger than the original Mako skate?

Well the Mako 8 I tried on in a 6.5D was not baked before I tried them on and I still could not feel the toe cap at all with my toe on either foot. So I figure if I get even more room in the toe it wouldn't be a good fit at all. I tried on the original Mako in a 6D unbaked first and my left toe was all over the toe cap and my right toe was barely touching. They baked them a bit for me and it did feel better but my left foot was still a bit more cramped that I'm used to.

I tried on some Makos today. They only had original Makos in a 6D and a 7D. The 7D was too big, and the I felt the 6 was too small. My toe was all over the cap when standing, but it felt like when I bent my knees my toes moved back far enough that I didn't or was barely touching at all. I tried another store and tried on a Mako 8 in a 6.5D which I thought would be perfect. But I couldn't feel the cap at all when standing. Has anyone moved from the original Mako to a newer model and found the sizing to be different? Or is it possible that I'm just in between a 6.5 and a 6? With the 6 it was actually one foot that felt a bit cramped against the toe cap, the other foot was just touching. Also has anyone moved from a Bauer Supreme to the Mako and have any thoughts on size? I'm currently wearing a Supreme 180 in 6.5D and I find the length to be right on. I'm just barely touching the cap when standing.
