Retiring My Jackson Ultima Skates 

I'm sorry you have had so many problems for the last little bit, but I definitely think it would be good to try a new brand out. I love how you babied and held and stroked your skates during the whole video, you're so stinking cute 😍

Thanks for this, now I understand the type of problems that can happen with skates.

I love your zest and style. I know nothing about figure skating but you kept me interested 😃. Cheers.

You can try Edea. Edea boots are very comfortable. I was using Jacksons too but my feet were hurting so badly in them.

1:05 pauses to smell her beloved skates 💔

I had Elles for 5 years. I hate them with passion now. They stopped me from enjoying skating. I hated the mirage blades more. I then moved onto the new Freestyles. They are... a little better. I am now trying to save up for either Jackson Elite or Edea Chorus.

I have to say, these skates out of all the skates I’ve had are definitely not my favorite! I have the same ones as these and they literally broke down completely after having them for a few months so I’m having to buy new ones again. Every pair of Jackson skates that I’ve had breaks down sooo fast. I just don’t understand why lol! I’m thinking of buying the Jackson elite skates so if anyone has had those or knows if they are any good, please let me know! Thanks! Also, I’m going into freestyle 4 so do you think overbooting will cause any issues as the Jackson elite skates are meant for freestyle 6-10?

Totally get why it’s upsetting to give up your first real skates. But, speaking from experience, the last thing you want is the many months of misery that comes with Achilles tendinitis. So go shop around for different brands and find a retailer that will listen to your story and discuss it with you. You could always bronze these like baby shoes! Cute slippers as well!

please help me get skates! i used to skate before but now i have to relearn it all and i want a beginner skate that will last me maybe to a competition , i’m thinking of jackson’s but you’re video is steering me other ways, anyways i have a low budget and narrow feet so please help!

My coach said it’s ok for your heel to move up to 1cm

Oh I just ordered a pair of Jackson’s :(

Also don't forget to stretch your calf muscles not get achilles tendinitis

you were not fitted properly at all!! the skates were a bit too big for you. that is unfortunate. graf are such a bad skate , Harlicks and risports are way too hard and you will be in pain.i just realized that this was posted last year so hope you got something better.

unfortunately your first mistake was attempting to heat mould your skates yourself. This would explain why the boots broke down. The ovens used by shops have a starting heat that is much lower than the household oven. Basically you melted your skates. I skate in Jackson's and they are a wonderful boot.

Buy John Wilson skates you won't get better
