The pen should be straight up and down to determine the proper length. • Remove the foot and measure the distance between both marks in inches; repeat with your second foot. • Using the longer measurement of your two feet, select the most appropriate size. Do not select a size that is smaller than the length of your longest foot. Please Note: • Determining skate size by comparing to street shoe sizing is difficult as both are sized for different movements; skates are sized to glide with little foot movement while shoes are sized to allow for more flex when walking. • Skates generally have a snug fit to ensure the foot does not move; this type of fit may not suit everyone. Sizing is provided as a guideline only and should not replace proper fitting completed by an authorized Jackson Ultima Retailer. Jackson Ultima Women's Artiste Skates
