User questions & answers

Question:	Size chart? Will a large fit a girl wearing a size 6 1/2 in, woman sizes
Answer:	It looks like did a mistake in measurements. If you wear size 10 - buy size 10 and it should be OK.
Question:	If my son wears 5 in big boys I get him a medium
Answer:	Made in China
Question:	My 5 year old son takes a size 12 shoe. What size skate
Answer:	The rule of thumb is 1.5 sizes smaller than your shoe size. However I did just that and these skates were way to small. Had to return them. I went to Dicks Sporting goods, tried on a few different sizes and ended up getting a size exactly to what I wear in shoes.
Question:	What size need to select for a toddler size
Answer:	I played a lot of hockey and these are hockey blades. There is no toe pick. The boot is softer than other hockey skates and I would not want to get hit with a stick or hard shot with these skates. The blades do not appear to be replaceable like you find on many hockey skates. I bought these to skate comfortably, not to play hockey. The velcro strap make it easier to tighten the skates, but you still need to pull the laces tight. So far, I am pleased with the skates.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a figure skate or a hockey skate
Answer:	No. Most new skates need to be sharpened before their first use. You could probably get away with skating on them without sharpening first, however, you wouldn't glide as well.
Question:	Sizing is confusing...says medium is size 1-4, then when order is placed it says medium is 2-5...which is it
Answer:	Hello, Thank you for your inquiry, please be advised new skates are a little stiff until you break them in. The following is a list of description for the skate: Jackson Support Rating: Light Support - Level 19 Beginning Skating Lessons Softer topline for added comfort Synthetic lining comfortable and durable Flex notch for added flexibility Full quarter and extra ankle padding Foam backed vinyl/mesh comfort tongue Stylized PVC outsole for easy care Ultima Mark II blade attached with screws
Question:	What’s the size of large
Answer:	I think this is a good basic skate. As you progress, you'll need to move into better skates will give you more ankle support. My daughter was in the Jackson Mystique until Free Skate 2 or 3 before she needed skates with better support. Hope this helps!
Question:	For a shoe size jr 12 -what skates size? My son is 7 y old, on the slim small size
Answer:	This depends on how much you weigh and how tall you are. If you're an average sized adult then, no. I am 5'6" and 105 pounds and I found that there isn't even enough support in my boots for a small waltz jump! These boots are definitely for a BEGINNER skater. This boot is for someone working on edges, three turns, and basic spins. The blade has a poor rocker radius, meaning the "sweet spot" you spin on is flat. I hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	How much weight can they support
Answer:	The velcro closure strap is a leather-like material but I'm convinced that it's synthetic/ faux leather. I'd call the manufacturer to be sure.
Question:	Does this come with 1 or 2 skateez
Answer:	No, but you can find blade covers on amazon for under $10.00
Question:	Hi, would this work for a grownup with smaller feet
Answer:	I wear a size 8 in women's and got a size 9 in these based on the chart but my toes were crunched in those. I exchanged them for a 10 and they are a little big on me, I wish they had a 9.5. So definitely don't get a 7 they will be way too small!
Question:	Some said this comes with one and some a pair. What would it be
Answer:	I really don't know never got that far. Returned because my daughter wanted figure skates.

User questions & answers

Question:	My 9 year old son wears a size 6, should i buy him a size x small or small
Answer:	I think they are just average.
Question:	My nephew is almost 3 and wears a size 10. Do I want the "small/10-13 youth" then
Answer:	Hello Heidi. Typically you would go down about 1/2 to 1 full size from your shoe size to get your skate size; however there are other factors to consider. For example if you have a very wide foot you sometimes have to go up in size to get the extra width you require. If your foot is a medium width & you have no fitting issues with shoes, you would likely be able to follow that rule. Also from our chart, if your longest foot measures 9 5/16" in length= size 6, 9 7/16" in length= 6.5. Since there are several factors to consider, it is not possible to tell you exactly what size you need. It is possible that you may have to try our best guess & possibly exchange if the fit is not satisfactory. I hope this information is helpful. Best regards, Customer Service, Jackson Ultima Skates
Question:	For a 2 year old that wears size 6 which one should i get
Answer:	I don’t know the actual rating but my 13 year old uses them and she is a fairly new skater. More support than rental skates but not super stiff like a child’s skate.
Question:	My son wears 4t what size is the smallest
Answer:	The skates come factory pre sharpened.

User questions & answers

Question:	True to size
Answer:	Good evening. If your child wears a 5 shoe then a 5 skate may work. A growing child does need a bit of room. Sight unseen it is not possible for Jackson to accurately assess size. Enjoy your evening, Jackson Customer Service
Question:	Are these narrow
Answer:	Good morning. We do not have any skates that are made for playing hockey. Jackson Ultima skates have not been designed with the protective features that proper hockey skates have. Also, hockey skates do not have toe picks. This skate is a recreational skate & it has toe picks which are for figure skating. Kindest regards Customer Service Jackson Ultima Skates Customer Service Jackson Ultima Skates
Question:	Is size 1 the shoes size 1 for joint kids
Answer:	Good morning and thank you for your interest in Jackson Ultima. There is a factory sharpening on these skates however, it is not satisfactory for skating on. We highly recommend that the skates are sharpened before the initial use. Enjoy your day, Jackson Customer Service
Question:	The youth 9, what age is it? I'm looking for clarification on toddler verses youth! Thanks
Answer:	Good afternoon. Just as a men's size 11 shoe is much bigger than a child's size 11, skates are sized the same way. If your child has an 11 youth shoe skates would fit the same. Enjoy your day, Jackson Customer Service
