The Jackson Artiste Figure Skates are a step up from the Mystique; offering a higher-quality Mark IV blade a durable microfiber liner and anatomically shaped internal ankle padding. Jackson coated the full leather boot with polyurethane for better durability and longevity. The vinyl and mesh comfort tongue features foam reinforcement that runs top to bottom providing a soft and comfortable feel throughout. To enable the learning skater to perform more advanced moves Jackson softened the topline and included a flex notch just below the lace hoops.
