Ice skates can get extremely expensive occasionally. You can buy basic skates for very cheap or get skates custom made and fitted with a separate blade to suit you. I would say that your skates are probably quite basic, not that there is anything wrong with that for a beginner. I would think that unless you are landing big jumps or skating very regularly, your skates will be just fine to buy! make sure that you sharpen them too!

The recreational skate is not designed for the speeds that the figure skate is. It is a "crossover" between the figure skate and the hockey skate.

However, if you do not wish to invest in figure skates for the novice (just in case it's another whim) recreational skates are a good option. The novice learns to skate and has fun without the expense of the professional skate.

Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)
