Jim A 4 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 I went from an 10.5EE 7000 to a 10R in a 3090...its very open around the ankles (Vapor style) and I'm also a 10D in a Flexlite..could I go 9.5 in the 3090 and Flexlite ..maybe..but they fit well as is......the boot is very deep so if you don't like the 8090 type fit..with the room to move your ankles..move on to another skate...otherwise..i've had mine for over a year and they are holding up great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim A 4 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 there is much more depth to an 8090 than a 7000..which is why I could drop down a half (and maybe full size) from normal in a supreme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim A 4 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 impossible to say without being able to measure your foot...i'm an 11.5-12 in a Nike running shoe and wear a 10R in the3090..if you wear your skates/sneakers with room or are growing its totally different... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suppaman 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 yeah just offhand, personally ive found through others and myself from trying the 30xx series skates on that usually you want to go a size and a half down (ex: I wear size 10 shoes, but would comfortably fit in a 8.5 30xx series skate) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATLstealth09 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 hey , a reply to the original post: I wear a 10.5 Nike running shoe, about an extra half centimeter in the toe, but fit in a 9.0 R width 30-90. I went from a 10.5D Mission HE950, and it took some time to adjust. The arches are in a different place, but after about a week, the skates formed to my foot.Don't worry about the width, as the 30-90s have one of the widest toe boxes I have ever seen.I would suggest 1.5 sizes smaller also, but if your running shoe fits very snug to your foot, I would suggest 1 size smaller.Hope this helps.
