What is the Graf PK7900 Skates made of? Are they durable?

The Graf PK7900 Skates have brand-new, ultra-lightweight, 2-piece Pure composite quarter panels that can be heated and molded. The heel lock and fit offered by this two-piece quarter-panel structure are unparalleled.

These skates feature SPEEDFIT technology for speedy break-in, comfort, support, and pinpoint accuracy. Without adding additional weight to the skate, SPEEDFIT boosts protection, rigidity, and heel lock to their maximum levels.

GRAF has focused even more on tailoring the boot’s contour to the anatomical shape of the foot with the new PEAKSPEED Lightning series.

Graf made a real heel pocket utilizing a two-piece last, which enables the heel to rest in the skate more comfortably and improves heel lock. In the end, this results in greater comfort and performance.

Are Graf PK7900 Skates Comfortable? And how do they fit?

The asymmetrical tongue on the Graf PK7900 Skates is made to stay in place and prevent movement while playing. This felt tongue will provide protection without sacrificing comfort.

A FlexFit collar on the Graf PK7900 Skates will provide unparalleled maneuverability in confined spaces. Another addition is asymmetrical ankle pockets that help with a precise fit around the ankle.

The Graf PK7900 Skate will have a general contoured design that will decrease inside dead space and provide a more precise, superior fit. To keep the foot dry and contribute to the level of comfort for your foot, the shoe’s interior has a brushed nylon quick-dry liner.

Graf has included many high-quality materials in these skates for comfort, resulting in a comfy boot. When compared to other high-end skates, the FlexFit collar and other features are nothing new, so it’s wonderful to see Graf incorporate them.

How does Graf PK7900 Skates Perform?

The Graf PK7900 comes with a standard molded arch support brushed microfiber footbed. They include a pair of Orthotic heat-moldable footbeds in the box for improved comfort and fit.

The composite mid and outsole contributes to increased boot strength and greater blade control at the skate’s base for maximum energy transmission. The Graf 5500 Holder and replacement Cobra 3.0 stainless steel runners with a ten-foot radius combine them to enable tighter and quicker turns.

The high-speed PK7900 skates continue to include the most comfortable toe box available in the hockey business today, thanks to the padded toe box, which is still a standard feature.

Is there a difference between the Senior, Intermediate, Junior, and Youth versions of Graf PK7900 Skates?

Push your foot forward into your skates so that your flat toes barely make contact with the toe cap when you initially put them on. You can see behind the heel of your foot as it descends the skate by bending your knee forward.

If your finger fits easily behind the heel of the skates, they are too big. Your foot’s heel should be securely in contact with the back of the skate when you insert your fingertip.

In general, hockey skates should be one and a half sizes smaller than your shoe size. However, each player may have a different fit. The majority of participants think this game will be close. If your American men’s shoe size is 9, for instance, you ought to get a skate size 7.5.
