Looking to purchase new skates HELP!

Wore them again last night and the fit pretty well. I baked them and I think they formed to my foot better than w/o baking them. I will get some pics up shortly...thx for asking!

Also, I tried some Supreme 70s on the other day and liked those a lot too, but don't feel like dropping the coin on them at this time.
 
The Bauer Supreme 70 might be an upgrade, but I am unfamiliar with the skate. Is the inside microfiber or leather and cloth? I read that they have exterior this and that with the heel support, but that seems to be a bunch of jib jab. You should want interior heel support on any skate you get. I think that you are probably sitting on a gold mine with what you have now. Between baking them, and upgrading what you have you have one hell of a skate. See how they last, sharpen them to the three-quarter inch cut every fifteen to thirty uses, and make up your mind after this season. You spent under $200.00 on brand new custom skates. Not a bad bargain. If you really hate them after your season, hell with it. Keep them as a backup and try a wider boot. I have a feeling you are very comfortable in what you have now assuming everything is complete.

P.S. I will post a picture of my skates this weekend when I have time. I use Mission Fuel 110 XPs on the ice and Mission Proto VI for roller. Both are pretty sick.
 
not bad ...I have had BAD luck with missions ....eyelets falling out,chassis breaking moire than once ...boots ripping ....I myself have a pair of CCM Kevlar tacks made into rollerblades alot sturdier and more reliable with puck roller hockey

I am sure that Mission has all of the problems that you have experienced, but I too upgrade my footwear before ever stepping on the rink.
There is non-puck roller hockey? What the hell is that worth? Puck, puck, puck. Roller hockey is worthless other than playing with friends. Mine as well use a puck.
