Graf 707 vs. Graf 727

Is the ankle flex similar between these skates? Also fit wise, both are wider and deeper correct?

Is there some sort of unbiased FAQ or other document out there describing the difference in fit and such between different skate manufacturers, and/or the different models ? For instance, I'm curious about how the fit of my Graf 609s differ from other Grafs, but I see their website is still down. I vaguely recalled that the last digit tells something about how the skate is supposed to fit.

I was also recently drooling at new skates , asked the sales guy which skate would fit my foot best (narrow/flat), and he gave me somewhat contradictory responses ("CCMs fit a narrow foot, so I recommend the Eastons"). Seems like fit is a question that keeps coming up... I searched but all I can find are brand 1 model A vs brand 2 model B comparisons, nothing exhaustive.

I think the new Tack line has a wider midfoot and lower arch, maybe you could get them in a C width?

Near the bottom, in the item description it talks about the width and arch. I've also read the same here on MSH.

I dunno 'bout the rest of the Graf line, but from reading here, I think that 705's are made for thick feet (high instep), and maybe well suited for wide flat feet.

609/709 fit deep, and 703's might be the narrowest. 704 is supposed to be tighter than 703 but I dunno if you can find those anymore.

I have 703's and if you care to know what I think of them, check out my review in the Skate Review section.

Hey bud,

Thanks for the reply to my post. I checked out the link you provided, they do say something about CCM Tacks fit but unfortunately most of the other skates they sell are not accompanied by such a synopsis.

I wish there was some quick way to narrow things down without having to try on skates at every shop in town - sort of like the pattern DB here.

thanks again !
