Description
The Softec DIVA is a soft, single-color recreational boot from Jackson Ultima’s Softec range: a microfiber upper on a molded figure outsole, laced through eyelets alone with no hooks and no strap, and finished with an Ultima Mark I figure blade that leaves the factory sharpened. It sells under a single model number, DV3000, in women’s sizes 4 to 10 and five colors.
Support level
Jackson rates its figure boots for stiffness from 2 to 90, but Softec sits outside that scale with no number. The DIVA is listed under Medium Recreational Support — rink sessions, learn-to-skate and skating for fun. A skater working on jumps wants a numbered boot; our support level guide compares the bands.
Key details
- Upper: durable microfiber with a soft, suede-like nap, one solid color per pair, and a small round Softec badge high on the outside quarter.
- Lining: Nylex, for a velvet feel and warmth, rolled over a padded topline — color-matched on the blue, purple and red boots, light gray on the white and black.
- Closure: five pairs of eyelets and white laces — no hooks and no Velcro strap, where the Vista and RAVE finish on three open hooks a side.
- Outsole: a molded two-tone figure outsole, the boot color showing through a wave cut in a white sole; on the white boot that reverses, gray with white.
- Blade: Ultima Mark I, etched with its name and the Ultima mark, with a toe pick at the front; factory sharpened and skateable out of the box.
- Width and colors: medium (M) width only — the width Jackson states across the Softec series. Black, blue, purple, red and white.

Fit and sizing
Measure the foot rather than going by shoe size: stand on paper in skating socks, mark the longest toe and the heel, and work from the longer foot. The table gives foot length and the ball-of-foot girth the M width is built around, inches first with cm in brackets.
M is the only width the DIVA is made in, and these girths are the medium-width column of the Jackson Ultima sizing chart. A ball measurement well above the figure for your length means this boot will pinch across the forefoot; a D/W last suits that foot better. Jackson cuts its heels one width narrower than the ball. This is a soft synthetic boot, not a leather-soled model a technician can heat mold.
| Women’s size | Foot length, in (cm) | Ball girth, M width, in (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 8 5/8 (22.0) | 8 1/16 (20.5) |
| 5 | 9 (22.9) | 8 5/16 (21.2) |
| 6 | 9 5/16 (23.7) | 8 9/16 (21.8) |
| 7 | 9 5/8 (24.5) | 8 13/16 (22.4) |
| 8 | 9 15/16 (25.3) | 9 1/16 (23.1) |
| 9 | 10 1/4 (26.1) | 9 5/16 (23.7) |
| 10 | 10 9/16 (26.9) | 9 9/16 (24.3) |
All seven sizes exist in all five colors, so the run is unbroken — the size and color menus show what is in stock. The DIVA is sold in women’s sizes only; for smaller feet the Vista ST3201 and RAVE RV2001 start at toddler 8.
