Bruised heel anyone?

[cody]

I have bad problems with bruising my heels often riding, what shoes do you ride or put in your shoes to avoid this? Thanks.

Heels*. And my heels have just toughened up over the years. Some impacts still do damage though. I have some Etnies shoes that have like a padded foam sole or something so it feels like i'm standing on a thin ass temper pedic mattress the whole time. That makes riding A LOT more comfortable.

 

[cody]

Alright man, thanks. I used to ride double padding but haven't done that in a while.

Or buy a wider deck. My heels feel pretty nice on my TSI 5".

already a thread fyi

 

[cody]

Sorry David, i'll be honest I didnt' bother searching for one because I was tired.. And for you Kieran I've already owned a Tsi and I hated it. The wideness of my deck isn't what bruises my heel, its landing on them..

when i was first learning fingerwhips, id land sketchy on my heels. it hurt so damn bad, but i dont think they ever bruised. same amount of pain though.

Same thing happens to me a lot. Especially when I was learning finger whips, and 360 tailwhips. And it hurts like hell. I guess just try getting double padding or maybe dr scholls?

 

[cody]

It sucks so bad man.. like usually it heels completely in like a week or so, then i'll go ride and land on it again and the pain just comes back. I'm gonna try double padding again and see how it works.

I did a real number on my left heel once when I was first learning triple whips. I got all off balance, and my deck plate smacked the bottom of my heel which hurt enough already, but then I landed right on that spot and that spot only from like 4 feet in the air. I just collapsed and laid there for a little bit. Couldn't walk right for at least a couple weeks.

 

[cody]

Yeah man, I know how that is.. I bruised mine pretty good just trying to get 360 double whips dialed today on this bank.

I was trying 540's on a bank and had to stop because my heels were hurting one time.

 

[cody]

Yeah, I hate bruised heels, there a pain in the...

[BenJelinek]

I only get angered when i land on my goddamn brake on the part of your foot that curves up. Fuck that.

 

[BrandonWeir]

Yes sir.
