Why do my feet hurt while roller blading?

I just bought some roller blades, ands my feet hurt when i ride. They are a bit small. I am a size 10 or so in athletic shoes, and my blades are 11, so maybe i should get a bigger size? just standing in them hurts my feet. I am pissed, because i just bought them and they hurt my feet. is it just because they are brand new? i though it would go away, but ive ridden in them twice and still it hurts my inner foot. i even tried to loosen the laces and the latch, and although it helped somewhat, it hurt after a little while. any suggestions?

Depending on the brand that you bought, roller blades tend to be made of majority plastic. Unfortunately this is not great for breaking in and allowing them to form to your feet. If your %26quot;inner foot%26quot; hurts, I would have to say that it is most likely you need arch-support. I really like Dr. Scholls, but you could go with any brand of foot inserts. Remember you can always trim the inserts to fit the skate (unless they are gel inserts). If you are getting blisters on the inner foot, then your skates are too big or you are wearing them too loose. Skate shops also sell %26quot;blister pads%26quot; which are round and you simply place them in the skate where you are getting blisters, it keeps your foot from moving as much in the skate.





I am sad to say that your skates may not be too big or too small. Recreational roller blades tend to be uncomfortable and painful. Your best option might be to try a different brand altogether. Also, it is important to remember that you get what you pay for.
Reply:Your welcome! I know that $75 seems like a lot, but the skates that I trained in cost more like $500+ just for the boot. I hope the inserts help, and remember that it takes a while for the skate to fit to your foot (or vice versa). Happy skating! Report It

Reply:It actually may be that they are too loose over the middle part of your foot. If the boot is not tightly attached to your foot, then during every swing phase when the boot is in the air there is strain placed on the foot. Try thick socks %26amp; keep them snug. I would also go back to the skate shop %26amp; ask for some assistance in fitting you properly. Even if you didn%26#039;t buy them at a skate shop, see if you can find a shop in your area where you can get some experienced help - they shouldn%26#039;t mind, because at some point you%26#039;ll be back for accessories or new skates if you skate enough to wear these out.
Reply:Small for you? ^^ i think thats the answer
