Vapor XXX / V-12 Sizing Question

[DekeHead 0]

I know that it might be too early to anwser this question, but are the XX and XXX sized identically (i.e., built on the same boot last)? Also, how are the Nike sized in comparison to the Vapor sizes. If I wear a size 9 in a V-12, would I probably wear a 9 in a XX?

I am, of course, planning on trying these on at my lhs, but I wanted to a get a ballpark idea of where to start.

Thanks!

THey aren't built on the same last as the skates have different shapes.

If you wear a size 9 V12 than chances are that you will need a size 8.5 Vapor XX.

Isn't that the opposite? I wear a size 8 V-12 and 8.5 XX. The V-12s are a 1/2 size bigger aren't they?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Nope, he's right.

I remember fitting in 11 V12s and 10.5 XXs.

<scratches head> I know I've got the freaky feet, but I swear the volume is bigger on the V12s. My feet defy all logic! (and manufacturer and guru information) I'll go back under my rock now... ;)

That is strange, I wear an 8 in an XX and a 7.5 in a V-12.

Note: I also wear a 7.5 in the 8090 and XXX

I guess Dekehead and me want to know is what is the fitting difference between the xx and xxx?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Do you guys ALL post on the same time?

LOL

But yeah, that was my personal observation on fitting people for XXs. THey were fitting one half-size smaller than standard Bauers.

So, you're telling me the XXXs will fit .5 size smaller than the XXs?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

I don't know about how the XXX fits.

My guess is the same as XX.

We were comparing XX to V12, not XX to XXX.

[JGraz15 53]

So, you're telling me the XXXs will fit .5 size smaller than the XXs?

The XXX's have the same length for me as the 8090's...which was 1/2 size down from the XX's

The width is what i need. Are the a "wide" skate. More foot depth? than the xx

Ah, shit.

[JGraz15 53]

Not so much...more like the XX

The 8090 is much wider than the XXX

I've tried on the XXX's and they are the same size v12 that I wear. I wear a 6.5 v12, a 6.5 XXX, a 7.0 8000 and a 6.5 8090. Just a little sizing chart of my own.
