Assassins even though they are a "lower" skate are probably worth it. They're newer and redesigned from things people didnt like about the Wicked line. the 1's especially had people saying they caused a ton of foot pain.

I tried on the Assassins @ my LHS and thought they were very comfy and were stiff enough for a 200lber like me.

Like trajik78 already said, the issues that the Wicked line had in construction were ammended in the Syndicate line. Keep in mind that the Wicked line was designed to be more lightweight while the Syndicate focused on being a little more comfortable this go-around.

As far as sizing, I'm not an expert, but it seems a little strange that you're wearing a EE width Mission skate and a R width Graf skate. For figuring sizing on Mission skates, I'd just go with whatever your street shoe size is and down a size. I wear a 10/10.5 shoe and wear a size 9 Mission skate comfortably. Its your call on the sizing though, because Mission claims to go true to shoe size, but I'm sure that's not the case ;)

try 1.5 size down from your shoe on the assassin. it may feel cramped, but there are materials in the ankle that will settle and when the skate breaks in your heel will seat better in the heel pocket. i f you are unsure ALWAYS take the insole out and stand on it. you will see how your foot lines up. i think you would be very happy with that assassin!

Just FYI: Graf 709/G9/Ultra G70 are wider than most other skates in regular width. Graf's skates have 4-5 different fits based on the model, the xx9s are for wide and deep feet. The R is more like an E/EE.

Yeah, I went on hockeymonkey.com and checked the design specs on those Grafs after I made that ignorant comment :D Thanks man.

Thank you everyone.

I'd like to buy the assassin.

However, I'm still confusing to choose the size.

Like top-shelf said, hockeygiant and inlinewarehouse said that buy same shoe size.

But my running shoes size is 9 and my shoes size is 9.5

please help to choose size.

my D1s size was 8.5E and S500 was 8.5E and CCM vector Pro 7.5E and Graf 709 7.5R

If the other skates fit properly then I think you'd need an 8.5E. But be sure the old skates fit properly first - I wore skates that were too long for years before realizing that I was wearing skates that were longer than they should have been to compensate for width. That may not be your case at all, but it doesn't hurt to double check. Take out the footbeds as one test and stand on them. If there's room at the end they were actually too long. If your foot goes right to the end then you at least have the right length. Overall they should be as tight as possible without serious pain.

I know that I used to have a pair of Vector Pros in 8.5D, but found out later than I actually needed 7.5E's in those particular skates. I'm now confident that I'm a 7.5E CCM Vector, 8.5EE Mission, and 8.5D KOR (I wear L7's for Roller and the KOR's for ice). I wear size 10W dress shoes, 10.5 running shoes, and very snug 9.5 cleats when I get around to playing soccer (which isn't very often these days). I'm pretty sure the sizing difference between the CCM's and the Missions are 1 size - so if you have the right size Vectors then 1 size up should be the right size in the Mission skates.

The assassin line is pretty sweet. Take a look at their plaid pants, I cannot wait until my LHS gets those.
