skate sizing for brands

[cuprajake]

hi all, 

as some of you know, im in the uk and as such we cant really try much on, 

first thing how much have skate prices gone up !! 

secondly im in a 9 bauer 1s, how does this translate to fit in other brands like ccm, true? im inline so there are also akalia skates and tour pre made with chassis

 

thanks in advance

I'm with Jake. Even though I'm in Canada, online deals tend to be better than in shop. I'm a 9 in 170X skates. Eyeing the Trues (TF9 or TF7, I hear some people go up half a size? 

You often read people's comments "well I'm a 10 shoe so I wear 8 1/2 skates". It doesn't always work like that and the translation doesn't work for all brands the same. I wear 11 shoes but my skates are 9s, a big gap but the fit is perfect, no toe bumping or scraping inside the shell.
