  • My feet really hurt when i skate. They generally hurt on my arch's and feel numb sometimes. i have ccm vectors 6.0's


  • There could be a few problems:
    - your skates could simply be too small, as in short. when you put your skates on give them a kick back on the heel to make sure that your foot is all the way back and feel to see if your toes are touching the end. the proper fit is that when you are sitting with no weight on your feet your toes should not me touching the end. when you are standing your toes should just be grazing the end.
    - also CCM skates are typically have a skinny boot on them. if you have a wide foot that's gonna cause a lot of pain.
    - if it's you arch that's in pain i would recommend getting superfeet before changing skates. these are simply the best insoles available on the market, and they have ones specifically for hockey...check them out, if you live somewhere near a national sports they sell them. if you do decide to get superfeet make sure that you get your skates re-molded with them, since they do mold to your foot. here is the link...http://www.superfeet.com/
    - the last hope would be to get your skates re-molded and hope for the best. if you get your skates baked again be sure that you kick your foot all the way to the back. make sure your laces are done up as tight as possible. and make sure that as your waiting for them to cool remain seated, and make sure they are fully cool before taking them off.

    hope that helps somewhat, best of luck


  • You can take them to the pro shop and ask someone who knows about hockey to check the skates to make sure they are sized correctly and fit properly. They may be able to stretch the boots or adjust them slightly for a better fit. Also make sure they are tied tightly. As long as you are wearing the right size and they are tied correctly, the best thing to do is to skate in them as frequently and as long as you can without hurting yourself of course; that's really the fastest and best way to break them in. If you play or skate 2 or 3 times a week, the pain should start to go away within 2-3 weeks or so.

    Here's a website with some basic tips:

  • If you think the skate is not too small for your foot then try this, it helped me.
    I simply bought gel liners for my shoes and then put them in my skates.worked wonders for my arch discomfort.
    I am presuming you don't need info about size and manufacturers of different styles of skates.
    I couldn't afford to keep buying skates recommended by other people who could wear rubber boots seven days a week without pain.
