OT ... rollerblades
Hoping that someone on this newsgroup can help me with rollerblading.
I've started rollerblading (acutally I'd rather cycle but my wife likes rollerblading) and after I've gone about a mile or two my arch starts to hurt. I've tried an arch support purchased from the local pharmacy. Anyone been able to deal with this successfully? |

Going from side to side at 8 miles per hours will strain the tendons in your feet. The pain is amplified by the migrain you are suffering from. The music you are listening to in your headphones is much to loud and you cannot care the least that you have stacked up 20 bell ringing cylclists behind you. -------------------------------- Bob Masse' -------------------------------- |

And, something I've seen a lot of! There they are, swaying from one side of the "Bicycle Path" to the other with straight-out arms---and I am trying to pass, but I can't get their attention because of the headphones. Pat in TX |

You take up too much space Guess I lack the essential cyclist gene: as I approach a graceful lady rollerblader from behind, I slow down without realizing it. Just roll along, gazing at the poetry. G One particular gal is so powerful that I don't have to slow down much, but I don't see her very often because she's out early while I don't get going until 7:00 or so. |

I've tried an arch support purchased from the local pharmacy. Anyone been able to deal with this successfully? I don't know which kind of inlines you have (hockey or rec style), but I can tell you that in general, skates of any kind are a huge pain to break in. I dread having to break in new hockey skates. The boot is necessarily stiff to support your foot and ankle and until the boot moulds to your foot (which can take months..), pain is inevitable. It took me 3 months to break a pair of hockey skates in once..and I play 3 times a week. Once broken in though, they lasted 5 years and were magic. More than any other footwear, I think skates are critical as far as fit goes. If you have any funky things going on with your feet, like narrow heels or low arch or high arch, they will be quite obvious after 10 or 15 minutes in skates. It really pays to shop around and try on many different pairs in different sizes and widths. To break them in faster, you can try wearing thick-ish socks and putting your inlines on in the house while watching television or whatever. Tighten them up as much as you can bear and leave them on for 10 or 15 or 30 mins. Eventually the boot will begin to form to your foot. When you go skating wear much thinner socks and you'll have some clearance and the boot should be starting to fit a little better. Another thing to consider is that maybe you just can't skate that well. No offense, but sometimes if you have balance problems, people will tense up their feet quite a bit and they'll get cramps from being as rigid as a post. I don't know how well you skate, but it might help to relax your feet a bit as you skate. Cheers, Scott.. |

Inline skates are quite like hockey skates and shouldn't take much to break in at all. Maybe the ones you got are not right for your feet. Some places will let you take them back if they're giving you that much trouble. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
