Whenever I go ice-skating, I always get blisters on the inside of my feet. Why?

Question

How can I stop myself from getting these blisters?

What should I do to get rid of the blisters?

Answer 1

When I get new skates I get blisters on my feet. If your skates are new thats probably the reason. Just keep practicing and try not to put alot of pressure on them.

If your skates are not new you keep getting blisters then maybe you should consider getting new skates that are a little bit bigger.

Answer 2

It's because of your boots and feet...your boot is rubbing on that spot on your foot and giving you blisters.

Since you always get blisters in the same spot (which happens to me when hiking), just put some moleskin on the spots prior to skating.  It will prevent the rubbing and friction between your skin and the boot.

I have also used duct tape to cover spots to (it can stick better than moleskin).

Answer 3

ur ice shoes must to be too tight or too big make sure they fight correctly and put stick plasters where u usually get the blisters that shud help good uck and happy skating x

Answer 4

First of all, make sure you where very thin socks, or tights when you skate. I'm not sure how advanced you are, but a common misconception is that you should where thick socks. Also, make sure your skates are the right size. Unfortunately, ice skating will ruin your feet, no matter how well-fitted your skates are. Try searching on Google for a picture of Tara Lipinski's or Sasha Cohen's feet- I can guarantee they will have tons of large, painful blisters on them. It's just from the intense pressure on your feet.

Answer 5

Your skates are probabably tooooooooo tight. They should only be snug around you ankle

Answer 6

The skates don't fit you properly or they need to be broken in more.  Try another size up and wear thicker socks. You can't really get rid of blisters they just run their course but definitely apply first aid cream and a band aid so it doesn't get infected and it won't brush up against your regular shoes and get worse. Don't pop them! wait for the blisters to break on their own.

Answer 7

Maybe the skating boots are slightly too big or too small and moving about causing blisters. Just try the next size up or down and see if that's any better.

Answer 8

do you wear thick socks?

cause if you wear too thick of socks it may affect the way your feet fit in the skate and rub the skin in wrong ways.

and do you wear socks?

what do you do to protect your feet?

Answer 9

You get them from your feet rubbing against your skates. Try moleskin, you put it on the area where you get blisters, it helps. Put on blister band-aids to cure blisters.
