Place a piece of foam over the irritated area. You can get low profile, mid density foams at pharmacies or medical supply stores. A small square will protect the tender region without being too bulky or obstructive in the skate.





You see a lot of the pros using these pink or green foams to help with the skate bite pains that invariably occur over a long season.
Reply:High quality socks.





If your cotton socks (you are wearing socks, right??) aren't doing it, try something that will create more of a friction barrier between your boot and your foot.

If you're not wearing socks, that's why you're getting blisters.





Plus... not wearing socks will make your skates stink.
Reply:I know they heat up the actual skates for a custom fit. Maybe take them to were you got them and see if they will do that for your Rollerblades.
Reply:What part of the ankle?





Something is rubbing the area causing the blister to form. You may have the roller blades too tight.





If this pressure continues to happen, a callus will form, which will provide a more permanent protection.





You might want to take a few days off, and let the blister dry out and turn into a callus.





You could also try putting a band aid over, let the blister break, and keep a band aid over the rupture. Clean and re-band aid frequently.





It will eventually turn into a callus which will fix the problem.
Reply:This is easy to fix. First off always long socks, always. Next get your, Mom, sis or girlfriend to buy you a package of makeup sponges. The flat or round ones. Not the triangles. They can easily fit under your sock and be a soft buffer between your skate and foot. I have used this when I had problems as well as everyone on my team. This is a figure skater trick. They sell the pads in the pro shop but you pay like five bucks for what will cost a little over a buck in the grocery store. Good. Luck.
Reply:maybe look at the area where you feel the pain on the inside of the skate, if it is sharp or exposed, try putting a layer or two of hockey tape on it to cover it up.
Reply:Ok the idiot below me dosent know what they are saying. I have over 30 years experience of hockey. I would of made the draft but unfortantly i broke my ankle and that was the end of my career.








Ok that problem is easy to fix. If you are wearing short socks thats a problem. You dont need quality socks, you need "tube socks" known as long or high socks. If not, loosen up the skate a little and if that dosent work chances are the skates are too small. RBK rollerblades are very good though.
Reply:^^^ Thats what I did. My moms a nurse so she has access to foam pads and gauze so she'd bring them home for us if we had that problem. I did have that problem with my old skates. We'd cut a small piece of the foam, stick it over the blister or the part that was rubbing and then I'd wrap it with sticky gauze. It works wonders. And when you skate, you can barely tell the padding is there. Try it, it works.
