I haven't purchased jr skates in a long time, so it is just a guess, but you are probably looking at $200+.
I think I might save some money, by getting the right pair. In the past, I might have just bought the most expensive pair, assuming they were the best. I have been told that the most expensive pair's are not recommended for younger kids, as the Jr skates are much stiffer than the youth skates. And that the more expensive pairs tend to be stiffer.
