Good quality. Comfortable beginner figure skate. The fur is soft and cozy, and the blades arrive with a nice edge. They are sharp enough to skate on immediately. This is a very good first skate for someone who wants to learn to figure skate.

These ice skates were great in comfort and style. Unfortunately my daughter's ice skating instructer stated the skates were too lengthy (height) and will not allow my daughter to properly bend her legs to perform the techniques in the pre-alpha class. I had to but her new ones.

I bought these skates for my daughter only 3 months ago and she just called me from the skating rink to let me now the boot of the skate pulled of the soles of the skate. I am so disappointed in the quality. The insides were already getting holes in them and now today, this happens. They look like nice skates but they don't hold up well. I would definitely not recommend these skates. I feel like I flushed $80 down the drain. Hopefully the company will help me out.
Have a nice day.

Ladies, if you're new to figure skating, you need to know that your SHOE SIZE and your SKATE SIZE are two entirely different things. I wear a size 8.5 shoe, and I bought these skates in a size 7, and they fit perfectly. NOTE: Thick socks are NOT recommended for ice skating. Instead, wear knee-length nylons. (Some skaters don't wear socks at all.) For more sizing information, go to the Jackson website, where detailed instructions are provided. Note: As others have said, the laces are TOO SHORT, so I will be buying another pair of laces. And I will most likely have the blades sharpened at my home rink because even to my bare fingers, the blades feel rather dull. All of that said, these skates are a great bargain for skaters who are just starting out or (as I am) coming back after a long absence from the ice. And here are the official fitting instructions from the Jackson web site: "Sizing Guidelines: Jackson skates generally fit 1.5 size down from your regular shoe size." Those instructions worked perfectly for me.

As figure skates go, these are like wearing clouds on your feet. They are super comfortable. I would say they are about a size and a half too big on me, but I wear 2 pairs of thick socks and that helps. I'd rather have them too big than too small, so I don't mind. I have broad feet and these haven't given me any trouble. There is nothing worse than having aching feet while you're learning to skate and need the stamina. These are awesome! For a beginner skater, these are ideal and I highly recommend them. Stick to your regular shoe size and you should be fine. I ordered up, but could easily have stuck with my regular size and been comfortable.
