It is the strong opinion of our fitter that Jackson is under rating their boots for whatever (she thinks cynical) reason they might have. After seeing how the Elle lasted, well past "half jumps", I have to agree with her on that point for that specific boot. I had my doubts and kept looking for creases and break down that never happened. Her opinion is that, if the boot doesn't break down before they are outgrown it's the right stiffness for that level/size of skater. You disagree. I value that disagreement and I will keep pushing the question, but won't she get injured without more support?
I swear they changed all the ratings in the last 12-18months. Mainly because I've gone through so many pairs of boots I've poured through the website quite a few times in the last two years. When i bought the Debuts when they first were released the copy stated they were good for doubles now it's suggested up to an axel. The current flyer recommends the Elle for "beginning private lessons" whatever that means.

Regardless I'm sorry you had to waste your money on skates that weren't appropriate for you. Unfortunately all to common for a variety of reasons. But its not as bad as buying a pony that turns up lame.
