I'm looking to get better skates. I was looking at these two, which is better? Or is there a better pair to get? I keep seeing the all black ones on Instagram reels they seem popular?

Thankful to be in a horrible toxic relationship with a f33der that constantly gets cheated on
Thankful not to be bedbound yet, again
Thankful to still be alive at 35 with the health problems I have and ignore
Thankful I have shelf kissers that buy my cameo so I can eat myself to my grave
What else guys? 🤔
So I bought the soft boot skates, my first pair of skates. I was trying to go by reviews on ankle support since a friend of mine tore something in theirs and it made me scared lol. And between the two I was comparing, the soft boot had a better review on ankle support.
But I was wondering how big of a difference is it between the soft and hard? Is it really that much easier to learn on a hard boot? Should I buy a hard boot? I just bought the soft ones in April of this year. I also have plantar fasciitis and have to use a custom orthotics. Would that fit in a hard boot?
I started skating a month ago, but then fell and hurt my hand on just day 3 😂 but starting again.

What do skaters do for water? Do you skip taking water with you, or have a backpack on you? Or like those straps for like a Stanley cup lol.

Do you recommend any other accessories that I should get?
Edit: Also I wanted to say, I did have wrist guards on, but I didn't land on the palm of my hand, I landed on the side of my hand and my thumb and it went all the way back as possible. Heard the pop/crack and wore a brace for 4 weeks 😅 I couldn't grab anything without pain. My whole hand protected and it was my thumb 🙃
