Figure skates and hockey skates use a different blade. If you want to use hockey skates, your movement will be limited. Figures skates use longer blades for spinning and taking long sweeping curves. Hockey skates, on the other hand, have shorter blades for speed and making quick stops. If you are practicing for making such movements, then I guess it would be okay but once your daughter progresses in her ice skating, she should have more suitable figure skating shoes.
