I'm looking for advice for skates for my daughter. She is entering high school. She's 12 but looks 16, super strong but also overweight. She wanted to try figure skating as an after-school activity, and while she's not got the feather-light touch to her, definitely not the slender waif type you usually see skating, but who am I to say no to physical activity.
She also has a tendency to sprain her ankles. It's possible she has joint hypermobility but she has not been tested for it yet.
Obviously I do not want her to break her foot and ankles, and given her ankles are already a bit weak and she carries more weight, I want to get something with good support for her.
She has skated once in her life. She's starting from zero.
We were looking at the jackson mystique or artiste (JS1491 or JS1791)
What do you recommend?
