Jackson introduced their 5000 series lightweight synthetic boots in 2016 (I believe the women's models were rolled out in ~ mid 2016; the men's models in ~ end 2016, replacing the previous leather Elite and Elite Supreme models (since discontinued). I'd be interested in feedback from early adopters, particularly in comparisons with the previous leather Elite and Elite Supreme models.
(a) Approximately what level of skater are you, and how many hours per week do you skate?
(b) What model did you get, and when did you get it?
(c) Did you wear a previous leather Elite or Elite Supreme model? If so, which model?
(d) What do you like and don't like about your new boot? If you wore a previous leather Elite or Elite Supreme model, what are the major differences (plus or minus)? In particular: Is the size the same? Is the heel pitch the same? Any signs of premature breakdown? Does mounting the blades use the standard screws, or special screws (such as Edeas)? I would appreciate as much detail as you care to share.
Thanks.
