ZenToes Padded Skate Socks for Lace Bite Protection - 1 Pair - for Hockey, Skating and Tall Boots

Great product. Really helps for lace bite and I find it just makes the skates feel better on the foot. Very happy

I experienced lace bite recently and ordered these up right away. Had them for two games now and they've really helped.

I rollerskate w/very expensive figure/artistic roller skates for dancing/jamming/artistic roller skating. The brand new artistic roller skating boots are a good fit for my size 5.5 to 6 (USA) feet but breaking into new skates is almost a guaranteed lace bite experience. I was skeptical when I purchased these but thankfully, these proven my skepticism wrong! It does an excellent job saving my feet from lace bite. I’ve been using the same pair for a year now and though I haven’t skated often, when I do skate, it is for about 3 hours of agressive dancing moves. These have held up beautifully. I am investing in a second pair just to have it as a “back up” when the ones I purchased last year get sweaty and eventually, are good to retire. These are extremely tight so I don’t recommend for larger feet. Sturdy material yet soft enough to fit the contour of my feet without cutting my blood circulation. My feet are rather thin and small (size 5.5 to 6 USA shoe size) and still, these fit tightly. But it is a perfect “tight” fit on my small, thin feet; any larger and it’d be too lose. I can understand the negative reviews here concerning these being “too tight” for larger feet. The company should’ve specify size. But if these were larger and loser, it wouldn’t work as well for my small feet. It has worked perfectly and prevented me from lace bite, which was indeed happening before I purchased these! I love that the padding is long enough to cover a very good portion of the top of my feet into the lower shin area. I also love that the gel is just thick enough to protect the skin but not too think to interfere with fitting my feet into the brand new skate boots. It simply works perfectly for me. I have very sensitive skin and have not noticed any itching, even when I get sweaty feet from intensive skating! This tells me that the material used is good quality...it is certainly durable as I’ve been using for a year now and it still looks very good. I have not washed it yet...I’m buying a second pair as a back up, in case this falls apart when I wash it, which should be soon. Once I wash it, I’ll try to update my review. I think this is best to be washed by hand. Perfect for smaller/thin “skater” feet! So yes, I highly recommend these but not for those with larger feet.

Good material, probably does a nice job to tackle lace bites. Tried once , probably helped.

Bought these because I started getting lace bite from my hockey skates. They work well and are nice and thin. I wear them OVER MY SOCKS as they are more comfortable and don't get as sweaty this way. The only issue is the durability of the sleeve. I'm a guy with very short finger nails and I ripped one of the sleeves on the first use. It is a three inch tear that went almost all of the way through. So far I've used these five times...and hope they last at least a few months.
