CRS Cross Ankle Gel Discs - Ankle Gel Pads for Boots (Protect and Cushion for Ice Skating, Hockey, Roller, Inline, Hiking, Riding, Ski Boots) (2 1/2 inch)

For some reason, it was only my right goalie skate that was lacking in padding where my inner lower ankle bone is... the one just under the talus. Because of the angled butterfly pushes required, I was constantly putting pressure onto this point and the pain was intense. That part of my ankle felt like it was pressing into a stiff board. I could see that a bone spur would also form if I didn't do anything about it. This 2.5" gel disc worked perfectly. I positioned it onto the affected place and experienced absolutely no pain since. I also purchased compression socks to wear over the disk and it helped keep it in place. After 1.5 hours of ice time, the gel disc stayed in place. Although the gel disc was expensive and I only needed one, it was worth it to avoid developing a bone spur. Most importantly, there was no more pain. Edit: It has been 2 years since I’ve been using these. They are still in great condition and continue to allow me to wear my skates free of any pain. Edit 2: Another year has passed and they have not deteriorated. I have only been using one of the two disks since only one of my skates needed it. I occasionally get a skin rash from the gel disk pad so I’ve started to wear it outside of my sock inside the skate. The pad stays in place so I’ll be using it this way from now on. Edit 3: One day, I forgot to put the disk pad into my skate and realized that I didn't experience any pain at all. My skates had broken in and I don't need to use the gel pad any longer. I’ve used mine for about three years and they show very little wear so I’m surprised by other reviews that state these don’t last long.

These gel pads worked very well in my cowboy boots. I wish I had them years ago when I was a skier. Absolutely no pain at all. I keep them inside my boots for storage so that I am never without them.

I snowboard 40-50 days a season, like tight boots and stiff bindings. My boots are comfy but due to the boa and my preferences my peroneal tendon gets irritated and slips over my ankle regularly causing swelling. It got so bad last season I needed a solution. Stumbled upon these wonderful products and was able to test them today. They did a great job adding some extra cushion where it was needed. The disc stayed in place all day, and wasn't sticky or gross when I took them out of my socks at the end of the day. Highly recommend these!

As someone who has accessory navicular bones on both feet, these disc have been a lifesaver when I go skating. I use to get blisters all the time but haven't got them since I started using this. Unfortunately, after a couple of uses the disc tore which I am quite sad about. Not too sure if there's warranty on these. However, it is a great product that I highly recommend!

I inline skate/rollerblade half-marathons and marathons. I got new inline skates this spring and they're great otherwise, except they chafe on the inside of my ankles. I tried double socks, extra fabric, blister bandages, tape etc. and while all of those products reduced the problem none of them would come close to eliminating it. If I'd leave for a half-marathon with completely healed ankles without any products I would come back home with bloody blisters and lots of fractured skin with my ankles in horrible burning pain. If I'd use any other products I would come home with some blisters and a bit of fractured skin and moderate burning pain, but with these gel discs I come home without any blisters, almost no fractured skin and barely noticeable pain at all - which is completely gone within 30 mins of taking my skates off! What a brilliant product, couldn't give a higher recommendation!
