l think the first ones will be better if u plan on starting some figure skating jumps because it looks like they have a slightly better pick. I've noticed that some young skaters who do not have a good toe-pick on their first pair of recreational skates have trouble doing some skills.
Of course if u want to be absolutely sure of what skates r best for you. l recommend going to a sporting goods store & trying them on for yourself.
In any case, the pair of skates that feel the best for u length & width wise as well as offering the most comfort would be the ideal choice.

And one more thing. If u want to start figure skating & maybe doing some competitions then u should get competitive figure skates like Riedells. They offer way more support & r ideal for doing skating elements (even if u r not planning on competing). But if u r just starting out then stick with the recreational skates because competitive ones cost a lot & rec skates would be alright for u for now.

Unless, u r ok with buying used competitive skates, which would still give u everything u need but not be as expensive. To find some competitive skates look for a store or figure skating specialty store in ur town that sells them.
(in my opinion this is the best option)

You could buy these skates but honestly they would be a waste of money. They have almost no support & the blades r crap. They would not get u very far in skating at all.

You need something that has some quality & support to it. l bought these skates when l first started http://riedellskates.com/ice/117.html & while it is time for me to upgrade, l still have them & they still work well. l am in Beta-Gamma. For u l would not suggest anything lower then these because anything lower would not last you.

However, if u r just a recreational skater then the skates from Dick is or Riedell white ribbons could work, but l would still suggest the Riedell red ribbons.

These r good skates for Begginners (stressed!) they r a good soft boot, but not excellent. Go with these boots until u start learning 3-turns, that is when u will need real support. Do not buy an expensive boot now until then (i suggest ridell or jackson), u should try to be committed to the sport until u buy a $100 plus boot.
Go with the 1st pair, they look like they have the best support.
Make sure u get them sharpened before u go & take ur lesson. And remember when u r done wipe the blade & bottom off w/ a hand towel.
Make sure to get a soft blade guard.
Hope l helped! :)

PLEASE do not get these skates. l pity the poor beginners at my ice arena that r tricked into buying these skates. The boot is the floppiest u can find & the blades r very low quality. l would not recommend getting these skates at all. Instead see if there is a Pro Shop or an authorized skate dealer at ur local ice arena or check into if anyone is selling used skates. You can find skates for these prices that r way better quality. Riedell & Jackson brand skates r usually the best for beginners, although riedell is a bit pricier but still good quality.
