When I got to level 9, I became aware of the limitations of not having toepicks, all the techniques WERE possible on hockeys, but I was making things progressively more difficult, if I wanted to proceed along the figure/dance route, figures being something that I felt I wanted to do, at least through the passport ...
So I ordered Risport RF4 skates, and feel extremely comfortable in them.

I don't see the point, unless you find the hockey skates to restrict your abilities ...

I switched because I decided to take the figure skating further.  On levels after Skate UK you do need the figures.  Unless you decide to go into hockey or just skate recreationally.
