Bunga pads and ice skates?

Question

I was wondering. Will those ankle bunga pads work for me if my problem is located at the top ice skates where the low cut is by the ankle. I notice that the bunga pads are for the ball bone part of your ankle. Will this stop my ankles from moving side to side in my skates at above the ball bone part of my ankle as well?

Answer 1

Bunga pads are perfect for ice skates. I have the kind that you're talking about and they work great. I'd be surprised if you weren't happy with them.

Answer 2

They make all different types of bunga pads for specific problems. I would suggest trying on the bunga pads to see if they would fix your problem. It sounds like if your ankles are moving a large enough amount that your skates may be too large which is causing your discomfort. I would suggest talking to your local pro shop about this. It sounds like the bunga pads you are talking about would be appropriate, but if you can I would suggest trying them on to make sure that they would reduce your irritation. It is usually not a good idea to wear an ankle brace or air cast with skates, if you have an ankle injury it is best to take time off of the ice to allow it to heal. Skates aren't usually make to fit with air casts or ankle braces. I also don't think these would reduce any of your irritation with your skates.

Answer 3

well bunga pads are designed to help with all the needs of figure skaters. If you go to bungapads.com they have a wide selection on the pads to get.

   If you did get bunga pads it would help with your ankle problems are at. AT the top of the skate is where alot of skaters have diffucluties with.

So yes bunga pads do help alot but you might want to buy 2 pair each. like 1 pair is  one for right and left foot and the 2 pair would 2right and 2 left. if that makes sence. I have heard that they don't last as long so yea.
