Ok, first off this is not a thread to hate on madrock shoes and tell me it's not worth it; please be assured that I have my reasons. Now, I was wondering if anyone knows how the madrock Demon 2.0s size compared to other shoes. I've worn the shamans, quantums, and dragons, but really a comparison to any shoe would help. Thanks!

I've worn many of the shoes from the Mad Rock line up, and most (all) of them translate almost directly to my street shoe size. I would size my demons based on my street sizes, or 1/2 size large.

For reference, these are the Mad Rock I currently own (street size 11)-
Demon 2.0- 11.5 (sizing like M5- I would size down 1/2 size from what I have.)
M5- 11 (comfortable but tight)
Flash 2.0- 11 (fit with flat toes)
Mugen Tech 2.0- 10.5 + 10 (relatively tight)

I wore dragons size 12 and they fit about the same as my demons, perhaps a bit tighter.

Yeah man, I can't agree more with buying your street shoe size. I bought Mugen 2.0s last summer and downsized..had to exchange for my street shoe size! Good luck!

LOL!!....I don't hate on them,,just suffered alot of frustration on shoes. I am one who does like alot of their shoes, but the sizes have always been waaay off, the more aggressive the shoe, the worse the size. I had to go one full or 1.5 size larger to fit my foot in some entry level to mid level shoes. But once I got them in action, they worked fine. Just go large...full size at least. I have a flat foot,,and it has been a poor foot for years in most shoes.,,but sizes seem to at least be true except for MadRock shoes or those similar 'stolen' designs sold by an unmentioned company.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
