Jackson Vista Viper Nylon Outdoor Skate

I own both the Finesse and Vista models so here is my combined review:The Mint Finesse are beautiful and comfortable. The material is a textured pvc- easy to wipe clean, but also easy to scuff so if you skate hard, put a toe cover on them! Very supportive boot and an overall good quality skate.The Red Vista skates are more of a sueded microfiber texture so they should be easy to care for. The red color is deeper and more beautiful in person than on screen. The Vista boot is more padded and a bit stiffer than the Finesse boot. I would say (in my novice opinion) the Vista boot is built for more advanced skating where the Finesse are more for beginner or recreational skating. Both models are awesome, imo.

Great skate! It took me two months to decide on a shake. I was looking for one that had soft wheels for outdoors. Other skates say they are indoor and outdoor use which tells me the wheels are not the grade of these. These wheels are designed for sidewalks, road, outdoor use because they have more traction and give. I was a little concerned about the suede but I don't plan on skating in the rain. The color is vivid, it's put together very well. I don't wear socks and these are extremely comfortable inside. I wear a ladies 9 1/2 shoe, without socks. I purchased a size 9 and they fit perfect. If I was going to wear socks then I probably would have got a 9 1/2. In conclusion, they do cost a little more than a lot of skates on Amazon but worth it if you just plan to recreational or exercise outside, around your area.

Quality: top-notch, extremely comfortable, sturdy, and smooth. And when I say sturdy I mean sturdy. If you're looking for the ankle mobility you get in Moxy Lollys, you won't find that with the Vistas. These are ideal if you plan on getting a little gnarly.I know sizing can be challenging, so hopefully my experience can help someone. My foot measures exactly 10.5 inches, and I wear an 11 in vans. I tried both size 10 and size 9. Even after adding a superfeet insert, there was too much space in the toes in the size 10 and it felt unstable. The 9 is painful with added inserts, but without inserts its fantastically snug. My toes graze the end, and they give me amazing control. I did have to loosen the laces near the toes to give them some room. I hope that helps someone who is struggling with sizing.

I bought the Jackson Viper after I bought a pair of cheap skates and ended up tipping over as the plate was not in an ideal place for a beginner that needs to learn balance. I know that Jackson is well known for their ice skates and I was not disappointed! I am a size 8, and bought an 8. There is enough room to put a thin insert, which I am happy about! The ankles are nicely padded and offer support and yet are still soft! They arent stiff and rigid, just structured. With ankles that roll, i need that. As a beginner I did not wat to spend the super high amount for real suede and these are the perfect alternative. The Atom wheels glide over cracks in the road beautifully! Absolutely gorgeous skates!

Great skate but it was somewhat too stiff. Maybe I need to break them in a bit more. Overall it looks great and I know I should have gotten a size smaller since there are no 8 and half had to go to a 9.

Love my new skates!! Be warned. They are heavy and a full leg work out. Extremely well made and true to size. Not fond of the plate just because I am used to metal. That said, there are zero stability or control issues due to the material. Ankle support is outstanding and up the calf a bit more than I expected, but that is a huge plus. Will be a bear to break in, but worth it. These skates will be rolling 30 years from now.

I ordered some Impala skates because they had all types of beautiful colors and patterns but just because everything LOOKS good doesn’t mean it is good! Impala skates were VERY uncomfortable! Tried to keep them for a while thinking I could break them in and just needed to give them some time, but after a month, and me skating faithfully every weekend and sometimes during the week nothing changed. I returned them and decided to try these Jackson Vistas I ran across here on Amazon. The color first off caught my attention as purple is my favorite. I read reviews and did my research and even went to my local skate shop and inquired about the brand. The price was a bit “up there” but let me tell you ITS WELL WORTH IT! As soon as I put my feet in them they felt like heaven! Like a breath of fresh air immediately! Then I took them to the rink to try them out and they DID NOT FAIL! I’m so pleased and happy with this purchase! Skating with the Impala brand felt like I was torturing myself whenever I tried to skate in them! They were so u comfortable, BUT THESE JACKSON VISTA!!! Omg! Can’t say enough good things about them…I can sleep in them they’re so comfy

I used to figure skate and always owned Jackson skates. When my daughter and I decided to get roller skates, it was a no-brained for me. Jackson makes quality skates and I can count on the fit.These were beyond expectation! The wheels are super thick and gummy, perfect for outdoor skating in our little beach town. I researched other popular brands, and these far exceed them all!

No break in period, very comfortable boot, extremely responsive. In love with my purchase.Exactly as described, shipping and processing were prompt.

Love the fitting of this. I used to have my impalas for 2 months but I’m not progressing when it comes to artistic roller skating so I’ve upgraded to the vistas. It’s so light and you can’t feel the floor ( the cracks ). The boot is like a glove it just feels nice. I’m a size 7.5 women but I opt for the 7 and I wear socks too. My feet are wide and this is just absolutely lovely. Purple is my colour so that’s a plus. The only thing that I absolutely disliked was the wheels are so screwed so so so tight that I could not adjust them myself. It took me 2 days to finally get it unscrewed. Pls whoever supplied the JACKSON VISTA roller skates, you don’t need to screw them wheels and tracks crazy tight, coz skaters will and always adjust it in our liking. I just hurt my hand and my wrist because of this that’s why I’m only giving 3 stars. My right hand is still suffering from tremors post adjusting the wheels. But if you have anyone with a strong hand to do it for you pls don’t attempt to adjust it , you’ll just end up like me. I would definitely recommend to use a toe protector to keep your skates looking fab.
