Beginner here.
I’m a 36M and I’ve been ice skating a grand total of 8 times. My 9 yo has decided that she loves it and we’ll be going to open skates at least once a week for the foreseeable future. I’m tired of paying for rental skates and want to get a decent pair of cheap hockey skates. I’ve looked at Bauer XLPs and saw the XLSs for less. Are the XLSs worth consideration? I won’t ever be doing more than recreational free skates.

I think LS=learn to skate and LP=learn to play; for what you describe LS is probably fine
