Hockey skates vs. Figure skates for kids
I have enrolled my six year old daughter in the learn to skate program at the Oval. Considering I am a born and bred small town Alberta boy, I am ashamed to say I can barely skate so I want her to learn from somebody who knows how to skate with proper technique.
My question is what type of skate should I get her to learn with ... hockey skates or figure skates? I am willing to spend the money to get her something that fits since ill-fitting skates are basically the reason why I hated skating as a kid.
Thanks in advance.
