I skated as a teenager reaching freestyle 1-2, single jumps and spins. I outgrew my old Reidell skates and since I have a wide foot opted for these Jackson freestyle boots with the Aspire blade. I skated 3 times before I had the boot heat molded at my local rink. Absolutely, hands down, the most comfortable boot I’ve ever skated in. I used to skate on the eclipse cosmos blade w/ 7” rocker, so getting used to the 8” rocker on the Aspire took about 10 skating hours to get confident again. I recommend these 100% for ANYONE who ice skates whether you’re young and on the ice all the time, or the older ladies like me who haven’t skated in decades! I haven’t had any blisters, or even sore spots with these boots. I wear an 8.5 street shoe, and I measured my foot and the width and chose the 8.5C width for the boots and they are PERFECT! I’m not crazy about the blade and I’m thinking about upgrading to the legacy 7. But again, I’ve only skated for 10 hrs with these and I may find that they suit me just fine.
