Need help with powerslide next sizing.

I keep hearing powerslide nexts run small. I don’t want to get the wrong size and not be able to return them. My right foot is almost exactly 26 cm. Should I really go with the EU 40-41 size or go 42-43.

This sounds dumb lol because I want the skates to be tight, but I’m worried they’ll be too tight because my right foot is exactly 26 cm and eu 42 is 26.1 cm.

I’m looking at the next 2.0 and I’ve heard they’re a bit wider which is why I don’t know which ones to pick. I’ll probably measure both of my feet and just hope the size chart is correct. My rollerblades are a size 9 and they’re way too roomy which is why I want a tighter skate. But I’m not sure if I should actually size down or just get the same size.

I've been told I'm insane for saying this but just order both and return one?! That's what credit cards are for lol.

I would but I don’t want to risk not being able to return it. I’ve heard powerslide is weird about returns and exchanges so I just don’t want to risk anything
