Getting blood stain out of boot

[kovalchuk71 212]

Whats a good way to getting a blood stain out of a boot?

I would hit it with something like Spray and Wash, Didi7, or even a concentration of dishwasher detergent (e.g., Cascade) and water. Dishwater detergent is very good at destroying enzymes and proteins. Let it soak in a bit and then hit it with a toothbrush.

Hydrogen peroxide works good on blood.

Thats bizarre, the exact same thing happened to my v12s when i had them. I remember skating in them for about 3 hours straight and had a huge gash on my ankle.

maybe if you buy them, the guy will have them washed, before he sends them to you...

Yupp, That's what we use in the ER to get blood out....peroxide. Doesn't bleach out the fabric and gets that blood out. B)

I also had a friend that had to return the skates because everytime he skated he would end up with cust on his legs just above the ankles. Nike/Bauer rep exchanged them out for XX's, so he is happy know, but I would tell your friend about this issue before he buys those boots, just in case

That is why I used to cut off the top of a sock and put it on my ankle.

One of the kids I coach has new V-12's (Which is what the skate pictured used to be). Each time the outside of his leg, just above his ankle is getting eaten up. It's at the top of the skate, between the eyelets and tenon guard. Its all blood stained, and continues to cause problems. Any idea what this is from? Mis-sized or just too sharp? He went from a 10E CCM to a 11.5EE Nike which seems like a huge jump to me. I know this is a little bit off the original topic, but its the same boot and the same problem. Any suggestions

Is this guy wearing long socks that cover that area? I have the same problem with skates I just bought and the LHS suggested that I wear longer socks and lace my top eyelets.

I didn't get a great look at his socks, but I believe he was.
