To ensure a perfect fit and minimize unnecessary returns or exchanges, it’s important to note that skate sizes cannot be determined by comparing them to street shoe sizing, and custom-made skating apparel sizing can not be compared to regular apparel sizing. Therefore, we highly recommend making all necessary measurements and checking the manufacturers’ Size Charts section before placing your order. This will ensure that you select the correct size and enjoy the comfort and performance of your new skates or apparel.

Description

The GAM Select is GAM’s intermediate figure skate for women and girls: moderate support, level 50 on Jackson’s support scale, for skaters working on single jumps. This listing covers both model numbers — G0490 in adult sizes and G0491 in youth sizes — and every pair ships as a complete skate with the Ultima Aspire XP blade attached. GAM, Jackson Ultima’s Montreal-based sister brand, has built figure skates since 1990.

Key details

  • Support: moderate, level 50 — a softer top line and flexible support for the up-and-coming skater landing single jumps.
  • Upper: reinforced, lightweight, cut-resistant microfiber in white, with GAM lettering at the top hooks.
  • Wrap system: GAM’s signature wrap, with extra upper pattern over the instep, for fit, feel and security.
  • Tongue and collar: padded, covered tongue with the embossed GAM crest; tan lining at the collar and tongue edges.
  • Lacing: eyelets over the forefoot and white-finished speed hooks at the top.
  • Outsole: GAM LCL sole — layered cork leather, about 17% lighter than a traditional sole — on a tan stacked heel.
  • Blade: Ultima Aspire XP, chrome finish with a cross-cut toe pick and 8-foot rocker, mounted at the factory.

Who it suits

Skaters past their first seasons who are landing single jumps and need more hold than a beginner boot such as the GAM Pirouette (support 20), without the stiffness of a boot built for doubles. If you have been comparing it with the Jackson Ultima Elle DJ2130/DJ2131, the Select is GAM’s counterpart, fitted with the Aspire XP blade rather than the Elle’s Mirage.

Fit and sizing

Adult sizes 4–9 sell under model G0490 and youth sizes 3 and 3.5 under G0491, in half-size steps; the selector shows what is in stock. Each size comes in two width fittings. R is the regular fitting and covers A/B widths — it is labelled N in our size selector. W is GAM’s Adapted Width fitting (AW-C): a more relaxed fit that reduces side pressure, suits flat feet and leaves room for most orthotics.

Skate sizes are not shoe sizes. Measure the longest foot and never choose a size shorter than it; children may need a little room to grow. See our sizing guides before ordering.

What’s included

A complete skate — Select boots with Ultima Aspire XP blades already mounted. No separate blade purchase is needed.
