Jackson Ultima Fit Guide Which one is yours?

Utilize our Jackson Ultima Fit Guide to help determine which Jackson Ultima skate is the perfect match for your level, as outlined by both Skate Canada and US Figure Skating.

Two key attributes

The perfect match between comfort, support & design

Our skates are the Perfect Match between comfort, support and design in both the boot and blade. Each skate is designed with two key attributes.

01

Specific support ratings

Support ratings ensure the boots have the appropriate level of support for the skater's skill level and body characteristics.

02

Matched blade design

Each boot is matched with the appropriate blade design for the skill level of the skater.

Getting the rating wrong has consequences

The appropriate level of support is critical to skater performance and injury prevention. Selecting a skate that is too stiff for the skater's ability and physical characteristics can seriously impede the flexibility necessary to perform and develop skating skills. It can also result in injury as the skater is unable to properly break in the skate. A skate that is too soft will result in a lack of support, impacting performance, and can lead to premature breakdown of the skates.

Perfect Match - boot & blade The stronger the support, the more aggressive the pick

Boots are matched with the appropriate introductory Ultima blade in accordance with the skater's skill level. The stronger the support rating, the more aggressive the pick pattern to enable more advanced maneuvers.

Heat Moldable Fit System

Our flagship technology: we design boots to fit tight when cold. Your Skate Technician uses heat to soften and mold the boots, and as the boot cools it retains the shape of your foot. Custom fit in minutes. See your Authorized Jackson Ultima Retailer to perform heat molding, do not attempt on your own.

Best fit to match your foot's shape.

Fusion Sole

Constructed from lightweight nylon composite, which is torque resistant and waterproof. A rubber inlay provides non-slip blade mount and superior shock absorption.

Better fit

Built using Jackson's Elite last, which provides a wider toe box to reduce pressure, and narrower heels for better heel-lock and stability.

Perfect Match

Designed with Support Ratings to ensure the appropriate level of support for the skater's skill level. Boots are matched with the appropriate blades.
