When you get to the competitive level of figure skating, there are few options to customize your skates from a fashion standpoint. Granted, these days there are more options than there were previously, but the function of a competitive skater's boot is still the priority by a landslide when it comes to choosing a pair of skates.
But when you're doing it purely for recreation now and again, you have options. Crazy, weird and wonderful options. Like this boot from designer Jacknife. From a de zeen article:
Having spotted a gap in the market between low-priced beginners' skates and expensive professional models, Jacknife created the designs to provide "comfortable" recreational ice skates for men, women and children.
No toepick, so unusable in my opinion, but I'm biased :)
