Jackson Misses Excel Figure Skating Skate

The Jackson Misses Excel is a complete figure skate built for the true beginner taking those first real strides in group lessons and Learn-to-Skate basics. It pairs a supportive-yet-forgiving Jackson boot with a factory-mounted Ultima Mark II blade, so a new skater gets a matched, ready-to-skate setup rather than a guessed-at pairing. With a Level 5 (light) Jackson Support Rating, it gives you the flexibility to learn forward strokes, basic edges, and simple stops without fighting a stiff boot. It is the confidence-building step up from rental skates for recreational and entry-level freestyle skaters.

The Boot: Light Support Built for Learning

The Excel boot carries a Level 5 support rating, tuned for the loads a beginner puts on the ankle rather than the demands of jumping. That lighter flex lets you bend into your knees and feel your edges while still holding you upright, so basic strokes and glides come naturally. A vinyl-coated synthetic upper keeps weight and cost down, a traditional lacing system with upper lace hooks lets you dial in a secure hold, and a durable PVC outsole anchors the blade. Because the boot is made from man-made materials, it is not designed to be heat-molded, so it fits and feels right straight off the shelf.

The Blade: Ultima Mark II, Matched to the Boot

Mounted underfoot is the Ultima Mark II, Jackson's all-purpose chrome blade for entry-level skaters. Its 7-foot rocker delivers the stability a beginner needs, keeping you balanced through glides and gentle turns instead of tipping you onto the picks. The cross-cut toe pick grips the ice cleanly for early forward crossovers and two-foot spins, yet sits high enough that it will not catch and trip you as you learn. Buying it as a complete set means the blade is already matched to the boot's level and mounted correctly, a real head start.

Fit & Comfort: Warm, Cushioned, Forgiving

Inside, a fully synthetic liner over generous foam reinforcement adds warmth and takes the pressure off tender ankles during long practice sessions. A felt-backed vinyl and mesh comfort tongue, foam-padded top to bottom, cushions the front of the ankle where laces pull tightest. The Excel is offered in a Medium width, and Jackson boots typically fit about a size and a half down from your street shoe, so measure before you order. Break-in is quick and gentle, suiting recreational skaters and beginners of all ages.

The Complete-Package Advantage

This is a genuine, ready-to-skate package: the Ultima Mark II arrives screw-mounted and sharpened from the factory, so you can lace up and step onto the ice the day it arrives. There is no separate boot-and-blade shopping, no mounting appointment, and no guesswork about whether the parts belong together. For a first-time skater, that means less cost, less hassle, and a properly balanced setup that supports steady progress from your very first lesson.
