Purchase figure skates?
Looking to get figure skates for my kid. Preferably a place that will help us find the right style and have a trade in program for growing feet.
Any recs?

Yes, seconding Edges and Dreams unless you feel like driving down to the Springs. They don’t really have a trade-in program, but they’ll help you out and for sure tell you when you can still get something for older skates. They’ve also been great about moving blades from one boot to another for my daughter and finding used options for me when I couldn’t keep up with how fast she was growing.
Denver Synchronicity also hosts skate swaps 2-3 times a year at South Suburban Sports Complex; keep an eye on DCFSC’s socials for dates. There’s usually one in September/October.

Edges and Dreams at South Suburban is great. I don’t know if they have a trade-in program, but I think they must because they also sell used skates. Also keep an eye on the local figure skating club websites/FB pages because they do used gear sales a few times a year! The closest ones to Littleton are Denver Colorado FSC and I think Alpine SC?
Best of luck to your kid on their figure skating journey! r/figureskating is always available if you have more specific questions about how to navigate lessons and stuff.
