Buying first ice skates

[staaa143]

Hello, I have been taking iceskating lessons for a little while now. I have been using rental skates that just don’t fit my feet quite right, I wore a size 5 with the rental skates and my toes lightly brush the end of the boot and a size 7-7.5 in normal shoes. I’ve been off and on with ice skating and am in basic 6 and in around a month from now I am planing on taking free skate. I want to buy a pair of ice skates but there are no shops near me the only place I could buy skates is online. I want to know what ice skates would best suit my feet and skates for someone who wants to continue to advance with ice skating. I am around 5’2 inches tall and 92 pounds. My feet are about 24 almost 25 centimeters long. My feet are pretty narrow the widest part of my feet is around 20cm wide.

This has been a crazy week for sure. Bumping for the benefit of the OP.

HI and welcome! Where are you in this world, there may be a fitter in your area or a drive away that we know of that you don't.
Also, please let us know what foot shape you have and do you have high, low, non-existent arches? your shoe size sadly won't help as much as the things I just asked for.
Let us know and we can make suggestions.

Thank you so much for the reply! My skate teacher ended up giving me some skates that I might buy off her later. Sorry for the late reply.
