I investigated this link also and was about to post it.

The one thing that it reinforces and that I would also have advised is that skates should fit 'snugly'. There really dosen't need to be room between your toes and the tip like in shoes.

Smaller is ok. I always remember that Paul Coffey used to weak skates 2 sizes to small, and he was a pretty good hockey player.
