Just rode them for the first time, and Im hooked. They skate identicaly to my UFS thrones but are so much lighter. I skate elements flat and one Carbon skates with the frames is still lighter than one UFS thrones boot with out a frame on it. They slide faster than the thrones but the groove is all most identical in both size and placment. I did not miss a single trick due to that new awkard skate feel because there was no new awkward skate feel. These things are just solid. http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs014.snc1/4492_98622918080_823913080_1779899_1054195_n.jpg WIN.

Identical to classic thrones you say?

That's wonderful news because I loved those skates, had three pairs.

After skating remz,ch1s, and xsjados I couldn't get used to the weight of the USDs.

Now that you said that I am really really interested in getting them.

I'm a small 7.5, should I go with an 8?

Or should I get a 7 and break it in, I do not mind the break in time even if it takes two months, i need to know what size to get.

Well, even though you failed your self, I will say this about sizing:
I wear a size 8-9 in EVERY OTHER SKATE. I got these in a size ten because I know enough about carbon fiber to know there will be no break in. The leather upper might gett softer but how the actual boot fits now is how its going to fit next year. The padding is awesome but is SUPER thin. If you like tight skates get a half size up from your shoe. if you like normal fit I would reccomend a half to whole size up, especially if you have a wide foot like I do.

YES if you have wide feet you should go a size up. They should really list that for widefeet people. I ordered a nine and i ended up needing a ten. i'm a 9, 9.5 in shoes but a wide footer haha
