Sportcheck has a decent selection of cheaper skates.

Just like the other two posters said, you cannot have a 2 in 1. Fitness and hockey skates differ just like a pickup truck and a sports car. One of the big difference in hockey skates are the wheels, 2 fronts are small, the 3rd one if the biggest one, and the last one is a bit smaller than the 3rd wheel, but bigger than the first two. What you get with that setup is called "rocking" for greater maneuvrability around the hockey arena.

For the seawall, the wheels has slightly different compostion, the boot is designed differently, the chassis is different etc.

The Power M is 189.99 and is a very decent skate for the money. If you hunt around for last years models, you may get a high end skate for $70-100 off.

Good luck.
