XBIGJIMX 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 I just started playing hockey in a beginner league. my feet were painfully cold after 15 minutes. Is this common? I had my thyroid removed last year (one of the things it does is how you cope with tempature) so i have trouble judging what is cold. Has anyone had this problem?

raganblink 82 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 If you have some basic model skates (costed under 100), and you left your skates in your car, those two combination will definitely make it cold, especially the latter. Shouldn't be freezing, but should be slightly below room temp. Keep skates inside before you go skate, and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sickwilly 37 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 I play in a very cold rink. I started wearing XC-Ski socks under my skates. They're not really thick, but a bit warmer. It has helped a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazylegs_9 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 I have recently had a similar problem, I have worn one90's for the last 2 years, and this year my left foot(and only left foot) is freezing by the end of the game. Does anyone else have similar issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If my skates are too tight there, my feet will feel cold, I just loosen them over the arch area a tad and they usually feel better immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw 1 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 I used to have that problem at practice (coach-standing around a lot) I started putting toe warmers in my skates & no more frozen toes. They have them at Walmart in the hunting/sporting goods dept. I also use them in my shoes when I ride my bike in the winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chk hrd 164 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 How do you have enough room for toe warmers in skates? There is no way I could get those in mine, if I can't even wear thick socks...I'll second the post about tying the skate looser. I honestly think alot of people tie thier skates way to tight.

dsjunior1388 81 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 Skated in a cold rink last night, wore under armour cold gear pants and mock turtleneck, and my fingers and toes didn't get cold like they usually do. May have to make that a habit, it felt really comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
