I roller skate alot and i keep getting blisters and i wear 2 pairs of socks?

Question

Do any of you kno if they make specially made socks for roller skating

Answer 1

You should only wear 1 pair socks, wearing to pairs will only make it worse. If your boot is to big go buy a thick set of insoles that will work better for ya!

Answer 2

try wearing stockings.  like a knee sock.  it cured me.

Answer 3

Jest were 3 pairs of socks

Answer 4

Go buy this stuff called moleskin from the drugstore. It's super soft and you just put it on the places where you get the blisters

Answer 5

your problem could also be that you don't have your roller skates on tight enough.

Answer 6

Yea, they make socks for that, but I don't know where except maybe at a sports store. Have you tried using a smaller pair of skates?

Answer 7

actually, your best bet to stop getting blisters is to create less friction in you skates.

Make sure they are a PERFECT fit for you, wear comfortable socks, 100% cotton, that are smooth work the best, and depending on where you get your blisters, wear tube socks if you get them on your ankles or higher, and anklets if you dont get them above your ankle....preferably tube socks when skating work the best

welcome.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Here are a bunch of handy tips that I am sharing with you from my experience. I have found that no matter HOW perfectly a pair of skates fits, there is still a chance of blistering...on the other hand, I've known some feet that are blister resistant in ANY skates, no matter how badly they fit.

1) Make your skates fit as well as you can

- Use an extra insole (or two) to take up some extra space

- Break in the leather manually with leather softener and manhandling

- Do some basic "heat molding" using wet socks and/or a hair dryer

- Wear a thin liner sock, preferably nylon, under your regular socks, preferably smartwool (sold at cycling shops)

2) Identify and deal with hot spots

- Air out your feet and socks as often as you can (or as soon as you can)

- Pay close attention to areas that are starting to hurt BEFORE they become blisters

- Carefully dry out and clean "hot spots"

- Apply talcum powder to the area (or whole foot, if you like)

- Tape the area, preferably with a breathable tape or bandage, or tape a blister cushion or moleskin to the area

- If you can, change your socks once (or more) during a skate session/practice - that way you have dry socks on for more of the practice

3) Treat blisters - ***this is how I was trained in my wilderness first aid courses - you may deal with them differently***

- Clean the blister and area with soap and water, or if you have to, an alcohol wipe

- Sanitize a needle or safety pin with alcohol or fire (don't blow on it to cool it, just wave it around, or you risk re-contaminating it)

- Pierce the blister in two places (as if you were trying to get coconut milk out of a coconut) and press on it with a clean fingertip to drain it

- Cut a ring shape out of moleskine, the inside big enough to surround the blister and apply it to skin

- Apply a piece of breathable tape or another piece of moleskine over top of the ring

Skate on!
