Jackson Ultima womens Freestyle - Aspire

great boot and blade for beginner. I really love these. they improved my skating 100 pct. A+++

It's perfect for me (ice dance). The same size as my shoe size. It's cushioned, comfortable, warm, and light. The back of the collar is low enough to allow for movement on the ice. This is the main reason I bought this one. It's as light and beautiful as the other fancy European ones but for a fraction of the price. Will buy again and highly recommended. Oh the crystals are just gorgeous.

I just received these skates and they are beautiful! I repositioned my own blade because I know as an experienced skater what I need to do and where they should be- I gave it 4 stars out of 5 for 2 things. One is that these are supposed to be brand new out of the box and there were a ton of finger prints all over my blade. Obviously someone had tried these on and perhaps returned them- but they fit me like new skates so I’ll let it slide. Also and this is IMPORTANT!!! I read a lot of the questions and reviews of people saying that these skates are smaller than street size. THIS IS FALSE! If you are a size 9 street, you are a size 9 skate in these. In fact I would even get a size higher NOT lower in these skates! The pro shop measured my foot at 8 3/4 and I had to buy a 9.5 Jackson boot skate and it fits perfect- as a skate should fit - snug and to the tippy toe box... the q and a is misleading! Follow the size you are and go up one half- and if you have wide feet, get the wide and the heat mold done. It can add another quarter of an inch width with the heat which I had done. These skates are very durable and supportive but the low ankle in the back takes some getting used to. If you are tall like me it feels a bit like you are hanging out of your skate- it takes some getting used to- but these boots are super top of the line. Ankles are very stiff and will need to be punched out for comfort but that’s what you want when you are learning jumps and spins. A really nice mid level skate and blade here and the curve on the aspire blade is excellent- lots of room before the pick hits the ice. All in all I highly recommend these and it was a great deal for the price- the pro shop wants $330 for these exact skates and they don’t carry larger sizes so feel confident ordering these - just remember- they are similar to street shoe size- NOT smaller! I just came from a pair of Gams that were slightly too big although super comfy- these fit better and are no nonsense boots... so the sizes are snug even at the same size as streetuntil you get them heat molded. If you want more room or room for growth get one half size bigger than you would! So if you’re an 8.5 street shoe, you need a 9 for roomy comfort. Trust me. Just went through nightmares at the pro shop not having my size which is why I resorted to buying these here online :) good luck and happy skating!

This our first time order from online without actually trying the shoes. I was bit skeptical but She need bigger size shoes before our summer trip. Luckily, my girl likes a lot, fits her well. She didn’t have any complaints for discomfort. And the shoes work out well with her free skate 4 level.

I had to order this product because my old skates broke and I love these skates. They are very comfortable and have good support. It does not take to long to break them in. The blade has a nice feel to it, but they come with the blades temporary mounted so you have to add the rest of the screws to permanently mount the blade. The best part is the sparkles on the back and they look very nice on the ice.

Got these to replace my 10 year old's outgrown Jackson Elles. Roughly the same appearance but these have more support for single jumps. Get them heat molded to your skater's feet and take a practice run or two, but no jumps until you are sure the blade mounting done at the factory is correct. If it is, add the rest of the screws included in a bag in one of the skates and enjoy!Heat molding makes all the difference. No complaints at all!!

First off, I have to say these skates are really pretty with the crystals on the back, and the workmanship is excellent in every detail. I am learning some ice dances at 45 and enjoying my new skates very much! They do take some patience breaking in, and I had a pro move one of the blades for me to suit my feet better. The blades came sharpened but not fully attached which lets you determine if you like the position before you permanently have them screwed in place. The stiffness is appropriate for learning basic jumps so I figure these skates will work for me for many years.

I ordered 2 pairs of skates, 1 was brand new, while the other was used / damaged. The skates were missing parts, the plastic part where the screws were fastened to the boots, showed areas of strippage / damage. And the boot tongue was damaged.
