Hey Guy's , have my eye's on a pair of 705's. If anyone can give me some insight on the fit of these skate's , that would be Great. Thanks

I loved my 705's when I had them in the late 90's to mid/late 00's.  They're super durable but heavy (esp compared to today's skates).  They had a good amount of volume from what I remember and were stiff for their time (but again, not that stiff compared to today's skates).  Sizing was comparable to Bauer from what I remember, I wore an 8 back then and didn't go down to a 7.5 until a few years ago when I realized baking gave me that perfect fit (when I bought the Grafs skate baking wasn't the norm so I'm sure the 7.5 felt too tight when I tried it on).  I swapped the Cobra holders for Tuuk Custom+ after 1 skate but aside from that they treated me really well for a long time.

The 705 was supreme-ish by today’s standard. Medium volume and medium forefoot/heel width.

I always wore the 703 which was lower volume and had a narrower forefoot/heel vs the 705/G5. 735 was a 703 heel and 705 forefoot. Great skates all around.
