Graf 703

Finally had to upgrade a pair of CCM tacks from 1993 that we're giving me ankle pain. Best skate above ever owned. Fit perfectly and zero pain or blisters after baking. Only used them twice and feel amazing so it will kinky get better. I have a low instep narrow foot overal.

I bought mine in 1997. I am still using them now. For the first 3 years I was in high school. So for the first three years I was wearing them 3-4 times a week. After that it has been 1-2 times a week. Guess what. They are still going strong. I did have to replace the blade holder once due to a puck off the foot. I have also turned these back and forth every year to play roller hockey in the summer here in St. Louis. They look like cr@p now but are still as effective as the day I bought them. Now I have so many holes on the bottom from changing them for 12 years its time to start looking for new pair. I will try on some of the newer Grafs, but most likely I will find a new pair of 703's. Buy em'!

Pros: Lightweight, stiff boot, and durable. The fact you can choose widths make a big difference for those of us with wide feet.

Cons: Only if your a cheapskate. Buck up boys you get your moneys worth here.

The Graf 703 are awesome skates, i got them at a used equipment store and then realized they were pro returns because they have a tuuk custom pro holder/runner.

I'm 48, and have worn Bauer and CCM skates for most of my life. I even wore Langes when I was a kid. My Graf Supra 705's are the best skates I have ever owned BY FAR. They fit my oddball feet (size 14W with high arches) like a glove, even before the oven was used to fully customize the fit. Other brands hurt my feet by the end of my icetime - not the case with my Grafs. The only reason Grafs have one of the smaller market shares, in my opinion, is that they lack the razzle dazzle look of their competitors - looks that make a skate look dated quickly, I might add. If skaters placed more emphasis on comfort over style, the GrAf brand would definitely grow in leaps and bounds. Buy Graf, and you won't be sorry - lightweight, super fit, support and protection, slight forward slant design for excellent balance and nimble turning, grreat value. Unbeatable!

The skates are great in every respect except for the fact that they are somewhat loose around the ankle and lower leg. Excellent with sharp turns, they're light and very comfortable.

I had purchased Bauer Vapor skates previous to the Grafs and found that they were lightweight and fast. However after 2-3 skates with them, I was not able to walk due to their uncomfortable boot. After re-baking them again and again I still could not get any kind of comfortable fit. Then I tried the Graf 703's. It was the best decision I ever made on hockey equipment. They were immediately comfortable and every bit as fast as the Bauers. I didn't find out until later that the boot and blade holder were slightly askew and the blade would never be 100% straight. It has made very little difference. This is my sixth season with them and estimate that they've been used over 500 times and the boot is still in awesome condition. I will buy Grafs again no matter what.

The Graf 703 ice skates are very good, lightweight and comfortable skatesi would definitely buy them again

I feel these skates are excellent for the advanced hockey players. The Graf 703 has a stylish look. Whoever is wanting to buy these would get a long time out of wearing these. My overall remarks are good.

The Graf Graf 703 Ice skates are the best skates I have ever put on my foot. They are the lightest skate on the market and have very good support. These are very comfortable!
