Skating with bunions :(
I just started skating this year and got a pair of Reidell 111s which have been a dream to learn in. But this last week, I’ve been going harder as I get more confident in my moves and my bunions have been in *pain*. I want to prevent any further injuries and can’t stand the thought of not being able to skate or having surgery 😭 Never even noticed my bunions much before skating, but apparently it’s genetic. Google suggested a couple things, but I’m wondering if anyone on here has dealt with this and has any recommendations?

@Lisa Ray thanks so much for your thoughtful response! I picked up some gel bunion pads and am going to test that and reworking my lacing this week. I’ll try a cobbler/skate shop near me next if that doesn’t work. That’s great to know about customization options through riedell. I have the black 111s thankfully, so hoping I can modify to make them last at least a year (next february). We’ll see! Thank you again 🙏🌱
Skate Deodorizers - Linked
Hey everyone! I was showing @Knejie Allen some deodorizers that I got for my skates and wanted to share the link with everyone. They’re called Boot Bananas and they soak up moisture/deodorize your skates. You just put them in after each session. The bananas turn brown as they start to fill with moisture. Once they’re fully “ripe” (brown) you toss them and get a new set. They smell like a mix of herbs, not banana. 🛼🍌 Amazon link below - they’re $20: https://a.co/d/0f5kjeIl Happy skating everyone! I’m working on my crossovers right now, trying to find the confidence in moving and stepping. ♥️
