i only started taking lessons this month, although i have skated casually for about a year. i am at about the point where i can do forwards and backwards crossovers and am working on a basic spin.

up to this point i have only been using rentals but i would like to get my own skates but when i try to research i only get more confused. i have heard that the cheap ones from amazon/decathlon are no better than rentals, but i dont think my mum would agree to buy the very expensive ones.

please give suggestions for good skates for beginners that are maybe around £120

also what is the deal about professional fittings and blade sharpening?
