Default Salomon Racing 9 Skate boot fit.

NO! No room in front!

When you skate on them 3-4 times, they "grow" bigger. I had to replace
my boots for size smaller, although in the store they feel fine and
smaller size did hurt a bit.
Foam inserts invariably compress a little and the whole boot will feel
sloppy.
Put them on and hit the heel area on some carpet several times and the
toe area will loosen up, when you tie laces, your heel will stay there
and everything will be fine. Repeat every time.

It is bad to buy a $300 boot that does not fit, but even worse is to
get right size, loose patientce and replace it for wrong size, IMO.
