Few weeks ago I skated a free style session and I was at the end of the session and I decided to skate a loop jump and as I jumped and landed I felt an twist and bend in my boot and felt a sharp pain in my ankle and I was so terrified that I got off the ice early!! Still having a slight discomfort in my ankle but I decided to just go to the Pro Shop and get me a pair of Jackson's combo skate and blade. I was in desperado mode! Purchase them last week, had them head molded to my feet and blades sharpened.
Over the weekend I walked in them at home, used the blow dryer to soften the boots....and I have to say it worked!!! Thanks to all my FB friends who gave me tips to break them in
Monday was my day of reckoning and skated in them and it was a challenge at first...skated yesterday and today and I have to say, that I can see a huge difference in my jumps (more height) I don't even feel like I am jumping....boots are so light. Did some loops, flip and even did a few axel preps and boy I am so close.
My lesson yesterday was great....coach worked on basic moves and spins - just a matter of getting use to the blade and the ball. I am so pleased with my new skates and its just gonna get better and better!!!

This is the best decision I made to upgrading my skates, Its just a matter of time when I excel in my skating now with these new boots. So if you are debating on getting skates do it!! I did save my $$ and made a wise choice to pick an economical boot and blade combo.
Happy Skating
