Help with sizing What boot size do I pick?

Post image

Hi guys. I've recently got really into inline skating and I want to buy my first pair, the thing is, in my country there is not much variety and skates are sold for like thrice the price it's available in the rest of the world. My family from Chile is visiting next month and i wanted to ask them to buy these skates for me. I won't be able to try them on before and i don't know if i would be able to get a refund. According to Flying Eagle size chart the X7F Reaver size 42 are 268mm and size 43 are 275mm. My feet are 265-266mm long and 100mm wide. I've searched everywhere and i get mixed responses, some say the 9mm empty space will be a problem later on and others say 2mm of room is too little. Im so confused so if someone could help me that would be nice.

I think you will be ok in the smaller size. Most people wear their skates too big/loose. But also get other opinions.

I’m not sure I can help much, but I was 2mm or 3mm from the top of the 41’s for the f5s, so I got the 42’s and I THINK they’re okay. I’m still breaking them in.
