Vapor XXXX Sizing Help

[kesler17 0]

Hey, I am looking at buying a pair of XXXX but it would have to be online since the LHS in my area is far away and the gear they stock is outdated and overpriced. I currently skate on a pair of Vapor XIX size 9D, do the XXXX fit the exact same size as previous Vapors?

Thanks

Thanks...after reading some other threads it seems like the general consensus is half a size down but the fact that there are exceptions make me nervous. What do you think i could do? (trying on the skate is not an option)

also, was i correct in assuming that my 9D in XIX would be the same as the 9D in XXX that people are discussing in the other thread?

Do you ever travel? Personally, I would never get skate at that kind of pricetag without trying them on first. If you do travel at all, vacation, Cedar Point, Concert, etc. you could find a store nearby. Unless you need them sooner than that.

you could buy the skates on a credit card with no limit, and have 2-3 pairs in different sizes shipped to your house, and keep the pair that fits. or you could just buy a pair, and if they dont fit send them back and pay the restocking fee and shipping for a new pair, either way should cost you some extra coinage

I wouldn't buy a skate that I didn't try on first. I made that mistake when I went from my tacks goalie skates to my tacks player skates... Never will that happen again.

I'd find a way to try on the skates.
