I have a 6 year old pair of 703's, that have a ton of miles left in them, and the guys at pro-skate fit them so perfectly, I could probably play without laces. Unbelievably comfortable skates.

speaking of older is better...
i recently switched back to my bauer supreme 4000 last week at hockey. i bought them back in 1994 and they are hands down better than the skates i bought less than 5 years ago. they are stronger, stiffer, more comfortable... just all around a better boot. now that i look back, i can't believe i ever switched.
