skate help one95

[Ranger-#8 1]

I've had my one95s baked once and skated about 6-7 times for 1.5-2hr sessions on them and keep getting blisters on the insides of both my heels, but rest of my foot is fine and performance has been great. It is pretty much centered on both heels I attached a photo. I am trying to decide if I should rebake and apply pressure to the heel areas to create a snugger fit to eliminate the possible friction from my foot moving which is minimal if any, or have them punched slightly in that area. Any advice from people more seasoned in this field, I skated in two pairs of 8090s before this and they just were butter from day one so I haven't had to deal with this before. Thanks for any input you guys have.

Do you skate barefoot or with socks? If barefoot, add socks. If you already wear socks, get some that have some skating socks that have a thicker cushion in the heel.

Another re-bake wouldn't hurt either.

I skate barefoot have for 8 years now, and these skates fit pretty snug barefoot. So not too sure how socks would go.

Then re-bake and skate through the pain.

Think applying pressure from the outsides around the heel to try and make a snugger fit would be advised? or just tie them up normal and hangout

I just got my skates altered to accommodate a protruding foot bone on this inside of my right foot. I have been unable to skate for almost two weeks now because of a bad blister that developed, and that I decided I would play through. Not advisable.

I recommend you do a couple things. Obviously merely baking the skates has proven ineffectual. I suggest you have a trustworthy, competent expert alter the skates for you. Tell them what has been happening they will help you. In addition to that, when and only when your blisters heal, try some "mole skin" to cover the area with. I bought some. I want to make damn sure this never happens again, because I hate not being able to skate.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop or specific person to go to in Dallas to help tweak these skates just right?

[Krev 86]

Don't know how close he is to Dallas, but Drewhunz gets my vote.

The Players Bench in Coppell, staff is friendly and they have a ccm fit machine. They'll bake your skates and then put you in the fit machine for 20 minutes, the machine has air bladders that inflate around your skates while your skates are still warm to form them to your feet. I think it's like $25, and it's totally worth it. Worked awesome for my one95's!

Derek gets the top points. I mean that really is the best option, but not necessarily the cheapest one.

Heres a quick and cheap one, yet probably not as good.

When I was skating on a pair of Kor Shift2 (they are great, but REAAAALLLY hard) my feet were bleeding exactly in the same spot for 1 month! It was awful! Really a lot of pain, and because I skate on a every-other-day basis, I could not give it time to heal.

But this helped me a lot, which rebaking hadnt.

The problem was a couple of spots within the boot, the rest was fine, so with a heat gun I heated those parts for a few minutes (making sure the gun is far from your boot -else it will burn you and burn the boot material) then skate while its getting colder. I did that for 2 or 3 times and voilá, it went away! :)

I had the same blister and still have a scar to show for it! I wanted to get a different boot but my lhs punched the heel ever so slightly right in that area and ever since then, no problems at all!

Correction: mole skin is completely ineffectual inside a skate because it doesn't stick. The sweat will take it right off.

I work at the Starcenter in Frisco on Tuesday and Thursday evenings ONLY from 5:30- "close" (constantly changes). PM a time that is convenient for you and we can set that heel pocket and get a proper sharpening.

I also prefer skating barefoot (immensely) and have one95's (as of this past x-mas) and the heel is too wide for me. My only solution so far is to add several layers of tape to my heel to take up the space. It works ok, more of an inconvenience, but I am very disappointed that I have do this.

LOL, in fact I wonder if I have the skates for long enough will the $$$ I've spent on tape exceed the extra $50-$100 it would have cost me to get customs.

P.S. You could also try Ezee Fit Booties from Icewarehouse. http://www.icewarehouse.com/searchresults....amp;x=0&y=0

I personally ordered a pair of the 2mm thickness and could not stand them (interfered w/ my beloved bareback feel) but who knows; they may work for you. I concede that I did not try the ultra thin version and would try them but I'm not gonna risk having to return them w/ shipping costs coming out of my wallet.

It just might. What a bummer! Believing I may not have the right skate exactly bothers me every time I skate. It's obsessing. A good pair of skates is like a good referee; if a ref is doing his job, you will never think about him. One should not be drawn to think about one's skates.

Not necessarily true. I have moleskin on the inside of both my skates on the heel portion and they've held up well. I placed them in by taking out the footbed and having part of the moleskin go under and into the footbed so that it doesn't move around. You do have to be careful when putting the skates on though so it doesn't roll up the moleskin. Also, I used a blowdryer after applying to help melt the moleskin glue some more and adhere to the skate better. Its made a big difference for me and works well!

Thanks for correcting my statement. I realized after I had written that that moleskin works just fine. I even leave it on for days. I should have amended my statement, but enough was enough. It works; it doesn't.... But yes, it works very well.
