"My granddaughter is thrilled with her new Jackson ice skates. They feel fantastic and she's able to perform skills that were challenging before. The ankle support is perfect, and the interior padding is wonderful!"

"I ordered these skates in a size 9, and they fit perfectly with thick socks. The purple color is pretty, and they provide more support than I expected for a beginner skate. The upper sides are a bit wide, but I just tighten the laces more."

"I took a chance on these skates after doing some research, and I'm so glad I did! The size 8 fit perfectly, and the ankle padding is great. I'm excited to teach my daughter how to skate, and I can't wait to hit the ice again!"

"I recently bought these ice skates for my daughter, and I'm thrilled with their quality and performance. They’re perfect for little girls starting to skate. The sturdy materials provide excellent support, and the adjustable straps make it easy for her to get a secure fit. Plus, she can put them on and off by herself, which is a great bonus! The blades glide smoothly, helping her maintain balance while she learns new skills. I highly recommend these skates for any parent looking for a great option for their beginner skater!"

"For the price, I think these skates are fantastic! The adjustable size is a great feature, and I appreciate that they resemble hockey skates. The clips are sturdy and have held up well during use. They are definitely not professional-grade skates, but they are much better than the worn-out rental options at my local rink. Perfect for casual skating!"

"I bought these skates for my daughter, and she loves them, but she has some difficulty putting them on herself. The tabs don’t lock open, causing them to snap back, which can be frustrating. Also, the part under her foot comes apart easily. However, they arrived quickly and didn't bother her while skating. Just a heads up, they might need to be sharpened!"

"I bought these for my 13-year-old daughter. The size was spot on, and the quality is amazing, especially for the price. She had no complaints about her feet hurting at all and said they worked great."

"My 14-year-old granddaughter is thrilled with these skates and mentioned that they didn't hurt her at all."

"I had to return these because they were not tightenable and lacked adequate padding at the sole and around the ankles. For me, they are a value/budget ice skate, but I wouldn't consider them worth the price or gift them to anyone."

"I picked up the 5th Element Stealth Ice Hockey Skates for some casual skating with my kids and was blown away by how great they felt. As someone who played hockey for years, I wanted a skate that felt familiar without breaking the bank. These skates delivered everything I hoped for. The fit was true to size, snug yet comfortable, providing great control and support. I've used them for recreational skating and pick-up hockey games, and they've held up beautifully!"

"My son got these skates as a Christmas gift. He has skated several times already and said they’re well made and comfortable. It’s great to see him enjoy them so much!"

"After years away from skating, I found these 5th Element skates made of leather, fabric, and plastic. They arrived quickly and looked fantastic. I was worried they’d be heavy, but once on the ice, they felt amazing, absorbing imperfections. So comfortable and stable! I will definitely be purchasing another pair!"

"As a grandmother in my mid 60's, I recently took my granddaughters ice skating. After using my old skates from 40 years ago, I decided to buy a new pair. These skates are perfect! They are very comfortable and well-padded around the ankle. I had a great time skating for an hour, and I plan to go again with the kids. It's a fantastic workout for me!"

"I got these skates for my 11-year-old daughter as a Christmas gift, and she absolutely loves them! After switching from those bulky rental skates, she did so much better on the ice. It's wonderful to see her enjoying skating in her own pair!"

"I initially liked these skates, but I had a problem right away. They broke while I was tying my laces on the first use! After sharpening them, I tried skating but kept tripping and felt off balance. I've skated since childhood and have never encountered this issue before. I recommend investing in a name brand for better quality."

“I bought these to replace the snow boot kind I accidentally purchased last year. These were SOOOO much better! They look just like the picture and fit true to size. I'm an intermediate skater and feel that these are perfect for recreational skating. I can skate without falling down.”

“Wearing these on the ice made me feel like Cinderella on figure skates as the only girl with epic blades! They fit to size perfectly, even with my feet being on the wider side. Super comfy even after an hour of skating. Learning how to spin in these is the icing on the cake with blades so mesmerizing. Totally worth the price.”

“To be honest, I do not know a whole lot about ice skates and what makes a pair great. These seem pretty nice, especially with a 40% off coupon. The boots are made of PU leather, so I’m not sure how well they’ll hold up, but the ankles are sturdy and supportive. The blade guard could be better, though. Currently, my daughter is breaking them in around the house before attempting to skate on actual ice.”

“I absolutely love these skates! They fit pretty well according to the sizing guide and feel very comfy. I might consider getting a smaller size after trying them on the ice since they feel a bit wide, but overall, they look stunning and feel sturdy.”

“I think these skates are fantastic for beginners. They are soft and comfortable. I found them to be a bit larger than expected, so I might exchange them for a smaller size. Overall, I would definitely recommend them as solid starter skates.”

“I bought these for my husband, and the sizing guide was spot-on. Initially, I chose his regular shoe size, but it was too small. After measuring his foot and following the sizing guide, we found the perfect fit. He’s loving these skates!”

"I find these skates to be very comfortable, and I've received numerous compliments on them. Definitely worth the money! They fit nicely and are quite durable when tossed into my hockey bag."

"I ordered these for my 8-year-old daughter for Christmas. They initially came too small, which was my mistake for not measuring her feet properly. The return process was seamless, and once I got the proper size, they fit beautifully. I love the ankle support padding!"

"As a beginner skater, these skates have been great for my learning! They feel comfy around my ankles, and my feet don't hurt after sessions. Just a note, I believe they need sharpening before use, but overall, they are a good price!"
