Review on Jackson Ultima SoftSkate Figure Skates: Premium Womens/Girls Ice Skates by Dusty Oner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great skates! the best in sport

First the skates look big but overall narrow. I wear shoes 9.5, normal width. (In shoes that aren't half size, I wear a 10.) With ice skates, I have what is called a wide foot. (This is a normal shoe-to-skate conversion: I have regular-width shoes, but need wide skates.) Anyway, I just want to help people with sizing. I ordered these skates a size 9 and they go perfectly with a pair of comfortable thick socks. Based on my experience with ice skates, I knew that 10s would be too big. 9's are great. I hope this is useful information! I love these skates! They have been honed to be perfect for my beginner riding. They are beautiful with purple and I love the silver details. They fit the feet well and have more support than I thought they were for beginner skates (although I am a beginner skater). The only downside is that the tops (where the metal lace holders are) fold in too far. . This can easily be remedied by tightening the laces. I'm not sure if the flimsy white and purple laces that come with these skates will work, but I use my own laces anyway. If, like me, you have thick hockey laces, they help keep your skates taut. (I don't know of any skates on the market that come with strong laces, so I'm hesitant to deduct a star from them.) For these skates, I'd recommend using 108-inch hockey laces, of which there are many. Colours.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
