Mission Lt size

[crispy92 14]

There seems like there are no more places on LI to go try on mission skates especially in EE width. I've been trying to find my correct size in mission because the lieutenants at Hockey monkey are non returnable I already know im a EE width. I remember trying on soldier black in 11D and they felt pretty good out of the box. just a bit too narrow. Then more recently I tried on 10D. They felt like the absolute smallest I could possibly go. My toe was just about against the toe cap. ( I dont like my toe on the cap because I have an ingrown toe nail and it starts to hurt occasionally). So would 10.5EE be a good happy medium in lieutenants. Plus would soldier black size translate to same sizes in Lt's.

Or if any one knows some shops on the island that have 11-10EE mission skates please tell me.

amity harbor sports actually has them i found. If I try on an 11 and 10 D mission soldiers black how would the size translate over to mission lieutenants. would they be the same length

Not sure if this will help but...

I recently got a pair of Mission Lt for myself. They fit my size exactly the same as my shoe size (size 10 > size 10), i have the EE and i do have a bit of a wide foot and a very wide big toe (weird huh) and they fit great for me - just trying to break them in - got red raw scabbed up ankles right now!

I don't know if this helps but I wear I size 12 shoe and wore size 12 skates with the old Mission sizing.

I am currently wearing size 10.5 in the '08 Mission Bosses, though they fit slightly closer to the toe than my older pairs.

I think a size 11 would have given me the same fit as the size 12's in the old sizing,

Do a search in using on the roller hockey section for "syndicate" or "boss" or "lieutenant." Sizing comparisons pop up in a lot of threads. It might not be in the thread title (sometimes it is) but a lot of people have commented on it.

They definately don't fit the same as your shoe size, like they used to.

This years models seem to fit as the same as last year. (Can any confirm/deny they are made on the same lasts? This might be buried in an older thread too.) If the 09 fits, the 08s should fit.

Now there's just the issue of using your local shop as a fitting room...

One last question. Would it be better to have a boot thats a bit too small seeing as you can always get them stretched

or a boot to big. Im 16 so I doubt my foot is growing much more.

Lean towards too small, because after you bake these, your foot will shift back. What may seem to somewhat too small on initial fitting is probably just right.

alright cool. that actually helps me a lot. Before I tried on Boss blacks to get an idea of my size (omg they were comfy)

11 seemed to fit my right foot bout perfect but left foot seemed a smig to big. (yes one foot for me is rather smaller then the other, or bigger which ever way you look at it.) Im just afraid I order 10.5 and I get them and I dont fit into them and theres no returns. Can they be stretched. Someone has told me skates can almost be stretched to an extra half size up

I feel stupid for not posting this before but I am a size 10 in tour formula 7's. How would that convert over to mission sizing.
