if i had my druthers i'd get my skates sharpened at no sweat esporta on mcleod and heritage - however, out of convienece i go to PHL.......

anyone ever try that flat bottom v sharpening thing?

generally speaking i prefer my skates with a deep hollow - i hate when the feel dull.
so, I have 9.5 CCM U+07's . The G35's I have are 9. The Grafs are the most comfy on my feet . they only problem is they are snug on my toes while my CCMs are loose in the heel. I have a thing about my feet and hate them being squeezed. MY front two toes touch the toe cap in the grafs which is how they should fit . I just havent gotten used to the leaning forward profile enough to wear them regularly. Im hoping once I do , the skates will stretch out just a hair. I have not baked them yet either so maybe that will work out well too. I am really trying to wait til I come to Calgary at Christmas to get them baked and possibly punched. I am waiting so I can deal with professionals who have dealt with Grafs before.
