Is it normal for feet to hurt in ice skates?

Remember, foot pain is not normal when you skate. Keep a few second-skin pads and gel pads on hand at your next skating event so you can eliminate the blisters and calluses afterward. If you are experiencing any of these problems or any problems with your feet and ankles, don’t hesitate to see your podiatrist.

In this regard, how do you stop your feet from hurting when ice skating? Wear light socks or skating tights in your skates. If you wear heavy socks, your boot won’t fit properly and may be too tight, causing foot pain. Heavy socks could also cause your foot to sweat, which could cause blistering. Don’t skip out on socks because they seem hard to choose.

Similarly, how do I know if my ice skates are too small? Signs your skates are not the right fit include very little space at the toe, zero space at the toe and having your toes hang over the front edge, and the third toe hanging off the side of the insole.I (usually) recommend that players lace their skates snugly through the middle part of the foot (the part of the foot that needs the most support), but that above the ankle (the top eyelet of the boot) they should keep them somewhat looser. More advanced skaters may choose not to lace the very top eyelet.
