Artiste with Mark IV Blade - Womens/Girls/Mens/Boys

I love it

Skates fit my daughter like a glove. Great quality.

This is a great pair of beginner figure skate, I ordered through Amazon for faster shipping and it came faster than I would've gotten from Jackson website. The size was perfect for me and I'm so glad I didn't have to return for the size. I wear size 8 shoes and I have relatively wide feet. 8C was perfect for me. It was very tight in the beginning but I got used to it after 3-4 wears. I recommend wearing men's dress socks. The figure skating thighs didn't provide much support and were too thin. Regular socks were too thick. Thinner socks work perfect for me. I weigh quite a lot but still skate in these with no problem. I will probably have to upgrade at some point but these are great skates for beginners especially they aren't too stiff that I can really work on my knee bend and edge control.

Overall these are good beginner figure skates for that price point. They do take some time to break in which is a pain, but this is totally normal for ice skates. The leather and blades are good. My one complaint is that I wish they were more narrow. I got a size 10 in the B width. The 9.5 B was way too small and painful even during the try on process while the 10 is just a bit looser width wise than I like. The length is perfect though. These are good skates overall, but I probably would go with a different brand next time because of this.

Very comfort ,my daughter size 13 but needs 1.5size for this one. Fit every well. The ice skates have already been sharpened， can go to the ice directly.

As a new figure skate Mom, I bought these shoes thinking they would help my daughter learn to skate. Unfortunately, I didn't understand that figure stakes have to have the blades installed correctly for them to work, and they are technically made to be adjustable. In this case, my daughter's skates were misaligned, but since we were new to skating we didn't know. They didn't even mention it... Now a year later, my daughter is having ankle problems and keeps getting told she's skating on her "outside edge" and is no longer getting better. Well, tonight I looked at her skates and figured out why... the blades aren't centered... at all. I added a photo of how the blade should look when you get them to ensure they are mounted correctly. Ours were not. If you look at the photo, you can see that they mounted them too far "in" which then caused my daughter to try to balance on the "outer edge" since this was closer to her center of gravity. This hurt her ankle, and made staking very difficult. Very disappointed. These skates basically cost her WAY more than even the most expensive skates possible since she basically lost a year of skating experience and... even worse... they are actually dangerous as they can cause injuries. CHECK YOUR MOUNTING... or better yet, get skates somewhere else.

These are authentic Jackson Ultima ice skates. I bought these for my sister to go ice skating with me, I personally skate in Freestyles so I am familiar with how far these skates can go. My only complaints upon the skates arriving 1. The blades were covered in a weird, speckled, yellow residue. I cleaned them to ensure this wasn’t rust or anything. The residue came off on a Q-tip a greasy yellow color. My thought is whoever last handled (or mounted) them didn’t have cleaned hands and were non the wiser to clean them. 2. If these blades were factory sharpened, they were done so with a cotton ball. The pair I received will need sharpened before being able to skate. Just a heads up to anyone wanting to use straight out of the box, check the blades. 3. The box arrived with quite a bit of damage but the skates were unscathed. It was mailed in the Jackson’s shoe box and not an exterior box. Besides these things I am nitpicking, they are real Jackson Ultima Artistes and despite the residue on the blade, the boots are immaculately clean, laces well kept, etc. They are also accurately mounted. It still stands that they are NEW boots, and that the residue was probably from mounting or handling of the blades.

Jackson once again comes through with good quality skates! Purchased these for my son and they fit great. The only issue I had was that they were shipped in the Jackson box rather than inside of another box. When I received them, the box was very damaged from going through the USPS system.
