In practice, hockey blades are hard for beginners to balance, because it's easy to roll forward or back on rounded off tips and tails - so maybe you have a flattened rocker tail and tip instead of shaping it exactly like a hockey blade.
All beginner style figure skates already have short and far-forwards toe picks. And most are have a flattened rocker in the center for stability. And some are close to the ice, so it isn't as much like balancing on stilts as some skates are.
Lots of pseudo-hockey style skates with toe picks have been made - like
these.
(OK, the picks on those are too far forwards and microscopic to be of much use, and they rounded off the tail like a hockey skate, but you get the idea.)
I'm not sure what they mean by "The skates adjust to fit the foot with a push button", but anything that would help rental skates fit better would be a great idea.
I've seen
inflatable fit skates advertised too. Sounds great, if it can be made durable.
I think a large part of the safety and balance problems that new skaters have has to do with not getting the skates tight enough. I loved the old blue rental skates with ski-boot style closures.
Oh, I've got it:
Paint the picks red and black, to emphasize the coolness factor, like the angry jaws you see painted on some aircraft!
Vampire teeth would be cool too. Goth skates!
And claim they are tungsten tool-steel (or surgical steel, which isn't far from the truth for stainless blades), like the tips of ultra high end screw drivers.
And maybe create an extra wide K-pick to emphasize that special angry tip, and/or make the pick adjustable like the oft-promised
Skateology blades.
I wonder if a wide blade would be easier or harder to balance...
