Don't have them myself, but I've read here that their are lots of durability issues with the 08 models. Little more padding in the 09's as well. I read a good review in the Skate Review section from someone that has had both.

I've got a 09 U+ reloaded and its durability is much much better than my friends 08 U+.

His quarter panel is bubbling and is only 1 week older than mine but has much much less skate time on his.

The 08 do feel lighter due to having less foam in the ankle and the rocket runner. But the 09 u+ still isn't heavy by any means.

I'd agree with the post above.

My son has been skating on the 09 U+ Pros for 4-5 months (3-4 times a week), not one durability problem. By this time his 1st generation U+ Pro had already been replaced once by CCM and his 2nd generation U+ Pros where already looking ragged. CCM fixed all the problems with the 09's

I'd go with the '09 skate for two reasons...1 - it's a brand new skate, so it's YOUR skate, not someone else's (I don't know, I wouldn't mind wearing used gear everywhere except for skates). And 2 - From personal experience, I'm wearing the U+ 09 and it's very comfortable, so I'm guessing the 07 won't be much different.

Plus, I DESPISE the Rocket Runner...it's so ugly, and doesn't seem to make a difference at all.
