Description
The Softec Elite ST7200 in white is Jackson’s soft-boot recreational figure skate: a napped microfiber upper with a Thinsulate lining, on a lightweight waterproof Fusion sole, under a full Ultima Mark II figure blade. Jackson places the Softec range in Medium Recreational Support — public sessions and lessons, not jump training.
Support level
The Softec range sits in Jackson’s Medium Recreational Support tier, which carries no number and runs alongside the 2–90 scale. It holds the ankle for forward and backward skating, stops, crossovers and lesson basics, not for rotational jumps. Already jumping? Read how to choose a figure skate support level.
Key details
- Upper: napped microfiber in solid white, which Jackson calls light, flexible and strong, with a reinforced toe wrap, punched vent holes, “Elite by Jackson” on the tongue and a round Softec badge on the outside quarter.
- Lining: a non-abrasive fabric lining with Thinsulate insulation over soft padding, showing as a light gray knit at the rolled collar and down the padded tongue.
- Fit: built on Jackson’s Adapted Width C last, which opens up the arch to take pressure off it. C and M are the same width on Jackson’s chart, so the size menu reads Width: M.
- Closure: four pairs of open white lace hooks over a row of punched lace holes.
- Sole and heel: the Fusion sole, lightweight and waterproof — on the white boot a smooth silver-finish sole and heel with an oval metal Jackson badge and black pads under the plates.
- Blade: an Ultima Mark II figure blade, etched Mark II beside the Ultima mark, screwed to metal toe and heel plates and sharpened at the factory. Its full toe pick handles toe-assisted stops and early drills.
Which Jackson skate is this?
- Softec Elite ST7200, white (this skate) — the recreational Elite: microfiber, Thinsulate, waterproof Fusion sole, Ultima Mark II blade; women’s 4–10, width M.
- The other Elites — the same boot in black and navy, each with its own stock, and the men’s Softec Elite ST7202 in black, adult 4 to 12.
- Softec Vista ST3200 / ST3201 — also in white, but a nylon upper with Nylex lining on an Ultima Mark I blade, with youth sizes.
- Softec DIVA DV3000 — microfiber like this one, but eyelets only with no hooks, Mark I blade, five colors including white.
- Searching for the Jackson Mystique? The Mystique JS1490 / JS1491 is a traditional white figure skate for lessons — rated 15 (youth 10) on Jackson’s numbered scale, width C with half sizes, Ultima Mark II blade.
- Looking for the Jackson Elite competition boot? That is the Elite DJ4200 — a stiff leather boot sold without blades, for doubles and triples.
Fit and sizing
The white ST7200 is made in women’s whole sizes 4 to 10 in one width, M — no half sizes — and the size menu shows what is in stock. Skate sizes are not shoe sizes: measure heel to toe in your skating socks and work from the longer foot. Ball girth — the circumference around the widest part of the foot — matters as much as length; well above the M figure, this single-width boot will feel tight across the ball. Between two lengths, take the larger.
| Women’s size | Foot length, in (cm) | Ball girth, M (C), 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) |
Jackson cuts the heel about one width narrower than the ball, so a foot close to the M girth still locks in behind. Full width tables: Jackson Ultima sizing chart.
