are figure skates cheaper in the States or Canada?

[curiously_engaging_bob]

I'm heading there in a months and looking to buy new skates. What's a decent boot (reasonably priced) to get. I'm up to lutz jumps and scratch/sit spins. I'm looking for the cheapest suitable boot without paying for the name of the brand. Are they boots made in Canada or US? Will it be wise to buy those made locally.

THanks.
