I'm not sure where you want me to start, so I'll go from the beginning.
Back in the 1800s, figure skating on frozen lakes and canals had started becoming popular, but there was no official boots or blades. Figure skating consisted of blades made of thin strips of sharpened metal strapped onto normal shoes (usually boots, since it was winter). In 1871, Jackson Haines had the idea of adding a toepick to the blades, and his idea became wildly popular. Fast forward to 1935. Figure skating had become an extremely popular sport, but the equipment, well, it sucked. One of the first figure skating boots made was by Louis Harlick, founder of Harlick skating boots. Basically what he did was make the boot height lower, so skaters could bend their ankles easier, adding more support on the sides, etc. Nowadays, boots are getting lighter and lighter using synthetic materials, and the blades are as well, with lighter alloys.

Are black ice skates for boys?
Yes, black ice skates are for boys. In figure skating, my theory is that black is supposed to distinguish a male figure skater from a female figure skater, who wear white ice skates. Most likely, if you are renting ice skates at a public rink, the skates will be brown or blue/black if they are hockey skates. White and black ice skates are for professional usage, and thus, should not be sold to a person with no skating experience at all.
