Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Perfect for professional skaters or someone just starting out. This boot is created with entry level blade technology that is long-lasting and stable. The high top style is cushioned for plush comfort and added stability.
For an entry-level skate with extra comfort and warmth, the Jackson Ultima SoftSkate offers a slightly wider foot with a stainless steel blade.
Flex notch for added flexibility.
The blades on these skates come with a beginner-friendly toe-pick design — not too aggressive.

What reviewers didn't like

Need to be professionally sharpened.
Sizing runs a bit big
When Jackson boots are new, they sometimes hurt: Even beginner-level boots that are designed to be softer and more flexible (and have more padding) than skates for upper-level and advanced skaters can be a bit too stiff.
The laces you get with these skates aren’t long enough, though.
