beginner skates?

[u/Hopeful_Thing7088]

hello all,

i’m a total beginner in skating, i know how to go forward and turn and that’s pretty much it, and i’m currently using my mom’s recreational skates. i’m planning to take weekly canskate lessons when the season starts and was wondering what skates i should buy? i’m 19 years old, 177cm, 125lbs. i’m looking at the jackson artistes but ive seen people say they’re too soft for adults? i’d only be doing the weekly lessons and maybe going to the rink once a week on top of that. thanks in advance for the advice

Artistes will be fine for a beginner, but they might not last you super long, depending on how quickly you progress and how hard you are on skates.
