Jackson Elle 8W – does this fit look correct?
Hi! I just bought my first pair of figure skates, Jackson Elle 8W (EU 39.5). I was fitted at a specialized figure skating shop. I have a wider forefoot and a narrower heel/ankle, so the wide version was recommended for me.
I haven’t skated in them yet, and I’d really appreciate some advice on the fit. I’ve attached a photo of the footprint on the insole.
When laced up, my toes slightly touch the front, but I can still wiggle them. When I bend my knees, my heel stays firmly in place. When I rise onto my toes, my heel lifts slightly, but only a little — it doesn’t slide up and down inside the boot.
Looking at the footprint, I’m worried that there might be slightly too much room. Does this look like an appropriate fit, or would it be worth going back to the shop to try a smaller size?
Thank you so much for any advice! 🙏
