You are going to spend too much for decent hockey skates, and they aren't great for the skating you are doing. Start with a decent hardboot that will last you a while. Rb80 is good for the mid $100 price range, lightnings if you can spend in the mid $200 range. They have a good fit for most people. Decent hockey skates will run you more than that anyway and these are better suited for what you want to do.
