Old Style Lange Hockey Skate Sizing

[Toggers 0]

Does anyone remember, who used these skates years ago, how the sizing went? Did you drop down 1 1/2 to 2 sizes like other skates, or did they fit true to size?

ok, hard to remember back 30 years ago but Lange's were my first pair of skates and I believe they were fairly true to shoe size. You are talking about the big, heavy rubbery molded plastic ones right like Phil Esposito wore later in his career (granted he had Tuuks on his, I had all steel), built like a tank and could be used in a pinch by a goalie from a protections standpoint? I mainly remember this because when I got my first pair of stiched skates (CCM Custom Tacks) I had to expalin to my mom that stiched skates ran .5-1.5 sizes less than your street shoe depending on brand and I was not pulling one on her by getting the same numeric size skate that I was replacing.
