Good skates can be baked and molded to their feet. Cheap skates are like cheap running shoes. Yeah, they get the job done until the ill-fitted skates don't offer proper fit and support. Your kid is fine for a month, then they have welts from the cheap insoles and twisted ankles from no stability. Just wanting to skate at the rink is one thing, practicing and chasing pucks on top of learning edge control demands proper equipment.
