Also, the sides of the boot would stretch and the threading would break. Supposedly, the new boots fixed this problem by replacing the threading with some coating or something like that.

Yeah, no worries. The reason why I haven't delved into a new pair is because Hockey Shops are actually advising me that this is not the best time to buy a new pair. Considering it's season's end and they recommended waiting until the newer line comes out.
I'm only looking at CCM and Bauer as they are the lines I'm familiar with from experiences with other hockey related equipment such as sticks, helmets, pads, etc. And it's because of that reason why Graf skates are completely foreign to me. But ever since I've been on the market for skates, I've been hearing too much noise about Grafs to ignore.
