Just feels way too good then?
I've heard they fit really big so you should size down at least 4 sizes.
I really want a pair of these. Gonna start working some overtime over the holidays so get the money hella fast.

Could you pull a foot bed out of ever size carbon and scan it to a PDF file. Then we could print out and see what size works best to stop all these questions. Or just post the real sizes in centimeters.

Honestly I don't get sizes. Why are measurements just not used?

When i skated carbon 1's they fit fine in my usual size 7...when I skated carbon 2 prototypes, the same thing occured...therefore whatever you skate in carbon 1's should be just fine.

I have a friend who told me that his size 9 USD Carbons fit exactly the same as his size 9 Deshi's.

I thought this had already been explained
Deshi carbons: If you're an 8, get a size 9 skate
USD carbons: If you're an 8, get an 8 size skate.

i'm an 8.5 and the 9 usd's are a smidge big now that they broke in. initially the fit was too tight. weird.

You answered the original question but I posed another one. The vast majority of skaters have no access to a skate shop to be able to try on skates and you could really help by giving specific information about the products you are trying to sell. Someone in powerslide has access to the exact length and width foot that is ideal for each size skate.
I'm not trying to be confrontational. All skate companies need stop with this stupid sizes bullshit and just post the deminsions of the skate.
^^ deffo, we've been in this stupid ambiguous sizing limbo for years, actually make a move to combat it!

I like mondo point, loved that salomon used it.
Does any current manufacturer use it?

The Conference
We are really sorry to announce that the Carbon 2 will be delayed until mid december, so there is one more month of waiting. The good news is that it will also be available in white!
We are sorry for the extended wait.

Rollerbladers are stupid enough to compare their feet with said PDF on their 200 ppi screens or print them out scaled to fit a sheet of paper.

They should shut down their stupid website and communicate via Facebook only. Because everybody haz to haf Facebook nowadys...
So basically, they've decided they can now do it in white, but it will take a month to do. So both colours delayed by a month because they want to release b&w simultaneously.

Not necessarily. I mean, possibly, but it might be that they are waiting on certain parts to arrive (such as the carbon base?!) , and while they wait they are deciding to make some white skins so that they have 2 colours for the xmas period?
I could be dead wrong, but the delay might not be BECAUSE they are doing white.

Yeah that will happen but then it would be poor fit because of stupidity of the user. Not lack of information from the maker. More information is never a bad thing.

They shouldn't do this. How will anyone choose?!

Ok I missed the follow up here.
I have published carbon sizing in the past, including a chart. Im not sure if it is on this computer I will have a look.
The reason the black Carbon 2 is delayed has nothing to do with the white ones, they just took longer to ship than the factory told us. It's a real pain!! Almost the whole USD team including the people you are very used to seing skating on Thrones are emailing my daily for these Carbon 2, and were all biting our teeth waiting for them to arrive.
Sucks, I'm sorry!!
I just bumped this tread to know when they were arriving my dear Oli.
Still, i cant wait, it seems like I've been waiting forever to get these.
I even almost bought the new UFS thrones, just to buy something and feel satisfied for just a little bit longer.
If there's another delay coming in December you've got to give me the address of the factory and hell, I'll fly, swim, run, climb, dive & drive down there and get myself some and post an edit.
Cool that there's going to be white ones though.
white ones are FRESHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i wanna try'em out first. im not a fan of the first carbons

I'm not trying to pick on you but this quote illistrates perfectly what I hope gets fixed. Why would a chart exist but not show up on the USD website? Every skate company would only gain by putting out this information that would take a few man hours to compile but there seems to be a disconnect with what the normal skater has to deal with to get skates.
I want it known that I am extremely greatful for the Conference to have you as a presence on here. It seems all to rare to get even that.
