How do Graf 707s fit?

I'm a bit nervous about buying a skate online since fit is so important. However, I've got a line on a good deal for an almost new pair of Graf 707s. These are regular width, size 8. How would that translate, roughly, into street shoe size?

I'm currently in Bauer Supreme, size 8.5 and I think they are really about a half size too big. Is Graf and Bauer Supreme sizing roughly equivalent?

i would say roughly a 9.5-10.0 US shoe size.

as for 707's. have you ever seen these in person? have you ever skated on them? Do you have strong ankles... the 707's have a more flexible ankle. they are good for Strong ankles, as well as good for people that have had ankle injuries since they don't put as much pressure on the ankle bone. that was told to me by graf employees. i previously had 2 pairs of custom 707's and loved them. i do however have very strong ankles and used to tear bauer's apart in 3-6 months in the ankle section, so the 707's were pleasant change. each pair lasted at least 3 years.
