• Answer:

  There is no such thing as 'best type' it's whatever type fits your foot best. Risport RF4s are what I used they were brilliant I have now progressed into Grafs, also, some of the beginner Riedell boots are amazing and a better fit for a narrow foot, for a wider foot go for Jackson, never spend less than £100 as they wont be supportive or good enough or more than £200 or they will be too advanced for you. Also, always get them fitted at a shop never buy online as sizes in skates differ from show sizes and even though you may be doing skating recreationally you should always get the exact correct boot size :)
