Ice Hockey Skates Graf

Hockey Skates..which ones to choose?
I am in the process of purchasing a new pair of ice hockey skates. I have narrowed it down to 2 and was wondering what others thought…
1> Bauer Vapor 25 – $400
2> Graf 705 – $460
The Graf’s feel more comfortable yet the Bauer’s are more sturdy. Anyone using either of these skates? What do you think? Any ideas or suggestion appreciated…
Thanks
I have had all kinds of skates, Graf’s, CCM’s, Bauer’s, and even Lange’s. But by far, my favorite pair is an old (10+ years) is a pair of Bauer supreme 1000’s. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with Bauer. But, the main thing when choosing skates, is fit, and comfort. If they fit and feel good, you won’t regret getting them. If they don’t fit, or feel good, you will think about it every time you get on the ice, and that sucks, believe me. My CCM’s were like that, and it messed with my head big time….
good luck, Steve.

| | Graf Supra G3 Ice Skates [SENIOR] Some things just get better with time. Take the Supra G3 Ice Skate, for example. While the materials and construction have evolved considerably, the fit profile is unchanged since 1986. That’s not to say the G3 is out of date, quite the opposite. The boot has been updated to include the elite materials and engineering found in all G series skates, but with a playoff-tested fit that only a decade’s… |
