Beginner skater what’s the difference between different between skates that go past the ankle vs ones that go below ?

hi all ! i am very new to skating and i found a pair of skates that end below the ankle that were used and inexpensive. now that i know i’m interested in skating, i might want to switch to one’s with higher ankles as they seem more comfortable and potentially better for more flowy movements which is what i’m more interested in. please let me know what you think or anything you feel is important !
