Why do my feet hurt so much after one or two minutes on ice skates, or roller blades, that I can't continue?

Oddly, if I can tolerate the pain long enough it passes, but it is so unbearable that I can rarely make it through the pain period. I like skating BUT...!

That happened to me, too. It is your muscles cramping up because they are not used to skating. I had the problem more with ice skates than roller blades. My coach said it would pass as I got better, and she was right, but man oh man did it take a long time for that to happen. And when I quit skating for a while, the pain was back when I started again. It can also be that the boots are not fitting properly, but if the pain goes away then it is probably just your muscles tensing up. It is murder! The only way to get past it is to skate more often. Perhaps the boots need to be broken in, too - new boots are stiff and painful for a while. I really sympathize. I would get horrible cramps in the bottom of my feet. It hurts me just thinking about it!
Reply:You sound as though you are on hire skates,they are murder.There is nothing like your own boots,whatever skating discipline you take up.You can get hip hop or disco quadlines,these have 100mm wheels and will not bother your feet because they are quads and extremely stable.Just get on line and google--HAIGHT STREET SKATING--it will give you some idea,there are many roller skate sites,just type in --QUADLINE SKATES,you will be surprised.When buying ,just order the same as your normal shoe size,you can always compensate with extra socks, if they are too loose you will get blisters.
Reply:It is most likely the skate%26#039;s problem, but it could be your feet. It could be your feet/legs tensing up, thus wearing down your muscles quickly and making them hurt.


If not, its the skates not giving you support. Where exactly does it hurt? If its the ankle, you%26#039;ll either need support there (new skates) or that gel padding. if its the arch, then you%26#039;ll either need it punched out, or you%26#039;ll need support there. If its anywhere in the toes or heel, it%26#039;s most likely too small there, and you%26#039;ll need it punched out or get new skates.


Ultamatly, see if you can find a pro shop, with people who understand all of this. Tell them exactly what the problem is, and they will give you a precise answer.


Hope that helps!
Reply:It is most likely that your skates aren%26#039;t properly fitted possibly in the width or length. Good luck!
Reply:When I started ice skating, My feet hurted terribly. I just tried other sizers and either lossensed them up for tighten them. Your main problem is that they probably don%26#039;t fit properly.
Reply:maybe your skates aren%26#039;t a good fit for your feet. it%26#039;s either too tight or too lose. i%26#039;m not sure about figure skates, but hockey skates are usually two sizes smaller that your shoe size. like, i have a size 5 shoe size but my hockey skates are a size 3.5. hope i helped in one way or another. you should really check your skates if they%26#039;re a good fit or not.
Reply:well with figure skates it means that they are too big. i know that might seem weird but it is. roller blades i have no clue bc i am an figure skater and my feet did start to hurt when i just started out. If still not sure, ask the rink emploeyess that should help or you can ask a coach. YOu don%26#039;t have to have a coach just to ask. just be nice about it.


Good Luck!!!!!

Reply:If they are your own skates then they might be too small for you. If they are new it is because you haven%26#039;t broken in your skates yet.
Reply:The reason your feet hurt in probably because your skates are not fitted properly.


You could try to wear the skates a little bit looser and see if that might help.
