Is there an easy way to wear skates without irritation?

Ok, my daughter is going to a skating party. We just bought new figure skates, so they aren’t broken into or anything, just stiff and new. I know, just a feeling, that she is going to get some type of irritation or blister or sore or something at the party. It doesn’t have any padding, and we have considered thick socks, but they don’t cover the ankle. So, irritation by the ankle? This may be a stupid question, but she will be in skates for 2 hours, dancing to music and I just want some type of padding that will lat for a long time on ice. Any suggestions? thanks so much!
