Try them in store before ordering just to make sure.

Pre-bauer Missions were supposed to fit true to shoe size, but I found they didn't actually. Different Bauer lines also fit differently based on foot volume and depth, not just the numerical sizing. I find the Euro sizing to be fairly consistent across all lines and brands though. My skates are a 41 Euro, which ranges from a 7-8 depending on the skate.

Regardless buying skates online without trying them on first is a crapshoot, I've been pretty lucky the few times I've done it but do your research in advance to give yourself the best chance at success.
