> 24 hourQuality: top-notch, extremely comfortable, sturdy, and smooth. And when I say sturdy I mean sturdy. If youre looking for the ankle mobility you get in Moxy Lollys, you wont find that with the Vistas. These are ideal if you plan on getting a little gnarly. I know sizing can be challenging, so hopefully my experience can help someone. My foot measures exactly 10.5 inches, and I wear an 11 in vans. I tried both size 10 and size 9. Even after adding a superfeet insert, there was too much space in the toes in the size 10 and it felt unstable. The 9 is painful with added inserts, but without inserts its fantastically snug. My toes graze the end, and they give me amazing control. I did have to loosen the laces near the toes to give them some room. I hope that helps someone who is struggling with sizing.

> 24 hourSo I was so excited to get these skates. However, when they arrived you could not make out the word PULSE on none of the wheels all the ink bled together and then the right boot was separating from the PLATE!!! the box was NOT DAMAGED so they came from. The store this way. What a disappointment. Now I have to wait for them to receive my return before I get my REFUND! HIGHLY DISSAPPOINTED! I just wanted an even exchange and they couldnt even do tht. Gave 3 stars for the comfort of the boot.

> 24 hourThese skates feel nice on my feet. Ive been outdoors and in the rink with them. They fit well, looks like a sneaker but is actually a sturdier material, more like a firmer bootie. The wheels are great for both, I like that the toe stop is adjustable, and overall, the skate fits true to size. I am a size 9 Womans, usually a slender-is foot compared to most, and this skate fit perfect, ordered a 9. I previously tried a pair of Candi GRL carlin skates, and those things were painfully small/skinny and hurt. These Jackson Vistas are the right move.

> 24 hourGreat quality, Jackson has been making great skates for years in Canada, awesome ankle support and padding. ABEC 7 bearing are superior to any skate in this price range, most have ABEC 3 or 5. The higher the number the smoother the ride, less effort. Wife just loves them.

> 24 hourGreat skate but it was somewhat too stiff. Maybe I need to break them in a bit more. Overall it looks great and I know I should have gotten a size smaller since there are no 8 and half had to go to a 9.

> 24 hourLove my new skates!! Be warned. They are heavy and a full leg work out. Extremely well made and true to size. Not fond of the plate just because I am used to metal. That said, there are zero stability or control issues due to the material. Ankle support is outstanding and up the calf a bit more than I expected, but that is a huge plus. Will be a bear to break in, but worth it. These skates will be rolling 30 years from now.

> 24 hourLove the fitting of this. I used to have my impalas for 2 months but I’m not progressing when it comes to artistic roller skating so I’ve upgraded to the vistas. It’s so light and you can’t feel the floor ( the cracks ). The boot is like a glove it just feels nice. I’m a size 7.5 women but I opt for the 7 and I wear socks too. My feet are wide and this is just absolutely lovely. Purple is my colour so that’s a plus. The only thing that I absolutely disliked was the wheels are so screwed so so so tight that I could not adjust them myself. It took me 2 days to finally get it unscrewed. Pls whoever supplied the JACKSON VISTA roller skates, you don’t need to screw them wheels and tracks crazy tight, coz skaters will and always adjust it in our liking. I just hurt my hand and my wrist because of this that’s why I’m only giving 3 stars. My right hand is still suffering from tremors post adjusting the wheels. But if you have anyone with a strong hand to do it for you pls don’t attempt to adjust it , you’ll just end up like me. I would definitely recommend to use a toe protector to keep your skates looking fab.

> 24 hourI’ve been skating a lot lately and got tired of renting the dirty skates at the rink. Someone at the pro shop recommended these and I tried on a pair and liked them but they were out of my size. I was happy to find them on Amazon with my choice of wheel but I had a change of heart when they arrived. I was underwhelmed when removing them from the box, and they looked cheaper than I remembered too. They also are faux suede and my concern was how they would hold up over time. I wasn’t a huge fan of the gummy wheels and I just wasn’t happy with the quality overall, maybe because I had done more research between the time I ordered them and the time they arrived. I decided to go with a sturdier pair made from real suede so these were returned.

> 24 hourI used to figure skate and always owned Jackson skates. When my daughter and I decided to get roller skates, it was a no-brained for me. Jackson makes quality skates and I can count on the fit. These were beyond expectation! The wheels are super thick and gummy, perfect for outdoor skating in our little beach town. I researched other popular brands, and these far exceed them all!
