Measurements are pretty accurate from what I can tell. You CANNOT compare these figure skates to street shoes as Jacksons seem to run on the larger side. My last figure skates (SP Teri which I got over 20 years ago!) were a size 6.5, however, they were custom made to fit my feet.Figure skates should fit snugly or else will breakdown quickly and make it harder to jump and spin. I usually wear a 7-7.5 in sneakers (an almost perfect 7 in traditional Converse sneakers) and ended up having to exchange the 6.5W skates for a 6W. I’m between an W and R so I stuck with the wide option.Break in time wasn’t too bad, but I’m only doing single jumps and spins - not attempting any doubles (those days are over!). Blades aren’t the greatest, but you can’t expect much with blades that already come mounted on the skates. Overall, as a returning skater who’s just skating for “funsies”, these skates have been a decent and comfortable option without having to pay a lot of $$$.
