Side note on the toe ties, still breaking in the new gear but switched from toe ties to the Brians smart toe strap and holy shit what a difference. No more discomfort in my knees and I find they stay a lot taller/tighter to my leg where with toe ties I found the pad was drooping past my skate far enough to bother me. I'v read the velcro loses hold pretty fast but a bit of sewing and industrial velcro will fix that no problem. Worth the $23.

I'm in the same skates but my foot is a bit big for the boot. The new Supremes weren't any deeper so I figured to wait for the new boots to see if they were any better before buying new skates.
I really didn't like how the Reeboks felt, and the CCMs were a bit too stiff (I like a softer boot). I'd love to try Graf but nowhere to try them on :'(
I've been tempted to try the Brians strap but I've been really happy with my Toehooks. I think I may try going toe-strap-less for a bit (did with my old Vaughns) to see if the lack of centering gets to me.
