Jackson Women's Artiste Figure Skating Skate

The Jackson Artiste JS1790 is a complete women's and girls' figure skate built for beginners who are moving beyond basic skills and starting to work through their first freestyle elements. It pairs a light, flexible Jackson boot with a factory-mounted Ultima blade, so it arrives as a true ready-to-skate package rather than a boot you still have to outfit. If you are in group lessons or early private coaching and want dependable equipment that keeps up as you learn crossovers, spins, and your first jumps, this is a skate that supports your early progress. Everything is matched, mounted, and sharpened for you out of the box.

The Boot: Light Support That Lets You Learn Your Edges

The Artiste carries a Jackson Support Rating of 25, an intentionally light level that keeps the boot flexible so you can bend deeply into your knees and edges instead of fighting a stiff shell. That flexibility is exactly what a developing skater needs to feel the ice, hold clean edges, and build toward controlled single-rotation elements. The upper is a polyurethane-coated leather that wipes clean and holds its shape, while a flex notch at the ankle adds forgiving movement through each stroke. A stylized PVC outsole keeps the boot light and low-maintenance for everyday lesson use.

The Blade: Ultima Mark IV, Matched to the Learning Curve

Every pair ships with the Ultima Mark IV, an all-purpose chrome blade attached with screws for a secure, durable mount. Its 8-foot rocker is on the flatter side, which puts more blade on the ice and gives you more stability underfoot as you find your balance, while a straight-cut toe pick is approachable for skaters just learning toe-assisted moves without grabbing unpredictably. This is a genuine win of buying the complete set: the blade is deliberately paired to a light-support boot and a beginner's skill level, so nothing is over-built for where you are.

Fit and Comfort for Long Lesson Blocks

Inside, a microfiber lining with memory-foam ankle padding cushions the sensitive ankle area, and a softer topline reduces pressure at the top of the cuff. A foam-backed leather and mesh comfort tongue spreads lace pressure across the front of the foot so you can train through back-to-back sessions. The relatively soft build means a shorter, gentler break-in than a stiff advanced boot, which makes this skate well suited to younger and recreational skaters.

The Complete-Package Advantage

Because the Ultima Mark IV comes factory-mounted and pre-sharpened, there is no separate blade purchase, mounting fee, or first sharpening to arrange. You simply lace up and skate. For a beginner, that removes the guesswork and delivers a correctly balanced, properly matched setup at a sensible value, tuned to the exact light-support level this skater needs.
