Unfortunatly, skate sizes run differently by brand. I don't know a lot about Jacksons, but I believe I have heard they run small (but I have heard they are good skates). Also be sure that the model of boot you have chosen is not too stiff or too soft for your level. Maybe go to your local skate shop and get fitted just so you know which size you need and which Jacksons to order.....tell them, "Thanks for the help....now I know which ones to tell my family to come back and get," and then order them from your website. :) They might be cheaper online, but the hard part about getting boots online is you can't try them on!

If your feet are still growing, you're probably okay to order a half-size up. If your feet are done growing, you can stick to the size you're fitted at or still get the extra half size if you want the room. Some skaters like their skates to fit more snugly, some don't....it's all up to you.

Sorry I can't give you a specific size, but I'm sure you'd rather get the correct size than have to send them back. Good luck! :)
