can someone plese give me simple instructions how to stop my vapors from giving me blister
FallonRacingInc
You can do 2 things...

1) Double up your socks (wear a pair of ankle socks under your soccer socks)
2) Take the insole out, because your foot will then sit lower in the boot and the counter heel wont bother you as much. (Some people say this is a bad idea bcause you lose the padding, I find it quite comfortable actually)

and soon your heels will callase and you will be fine, they break in quickly

FallonRacingInc

nikevapor9

Yea, me n nikevapor10 use heel pads. We get ours from a store called target, but you can them basicly i bet anywhere that sells like shoe insolses. The ones we use are made by Dr. Scholles, and they are about maybe $3.00 US dollars or more.
I highly recomend these, they stop blisters for ever.

b3ans
Hey, how about another pair of boots apart from vapors. They prob wont give you massive blisters like my vapors gave me, like Adidas Copa Mundials, Ive never heard a complaint about them except 'The look soooo old, why are they black? Who wears black boots now?'

I nvr had blisters on my feet, but in my opinion, vasoline on the inside and outside of ur socks, or ankle socks with ur soccer socks thumbsup.gif
ActionWrestling
hey i did the molding for both of my vapors and it worked but the heel still felt tight so after i molded them i waited for them to dry then took tennis balls and put them in hot water then put a little hot water in the back of the cleat and stuffed the hot tennis balls in the heal of the cleats and let it dry and it felt better and no more blisters
KNVBsoccer09
i got terrible blisters from mine, they did callus soon, but between the seasons i guess my feet got soft on me and the next season i got the blisters again.i should shower in them and get heel pads, but i havent done either.
sportz4life10
what do u mean by the molding thing? are you talking about actually taking a shower WITH your vapors on?!?!?! blink.gif

please explain. i got mad blisters from my vapors 1's (this drove me away from getting the newer ones). I am very interested in getting a new pair of the vapor 2's tho. i guess it's because of all the hype. whistling.gif

molding- wearing ur vapors into the shower ...(i wore mine in the tub)
Pieter de Hooch
ive had my vapours for like a month now and no blisters.
BanginDrumsAMO 9
I am gettin ready to start wearin my vapor ones. Im kinda nervous bcs they have such TINY padding in the back. Should i wear mine in the shower...tape my ankles...or wat?

My main question is are there any ideas that only work for a type of vapor like vapor I or vapor IIs?

bcs the vapor ones have very thin cushion.
arsenax
I wear two pairs of socks and i've never got a blister with my vapour 1's banana.gif
BanginDrumsAMO 9
Never? you didn't even feel slightly uncomfortable in them at the beginning?
ActionWrestling
when i first go mine i got blisters...i thought when i tried them on oh these feel godd but i got out there and i got blisters. then i did the mloding in the shower thing
sportz4life10
and they didn't hurt after that?
ActionWrestling
they still felt slightly tight where i got the blister then i took tennis balls and put them under hot water and put some hotwater in the back of my vapors and stuffed the tennis balls in the back and let them dry

i broke my vapors in really well this morning.

i have blisters left over from two days ago, but what i did to break them in was i wore a regular thick sock like the ones i wear everyday to work. i tied the vapors as tight as i possibly could, then i went outside and turned the hose on and poured the water on my socks and into my shoes with the shoes still tied. then i drove to the park with them on and played at the park with them like that for about 15 minutes. then the pain got to be too much so i took the socks and shoes off, and put them back on without the socks on. there was suddenly extra space in the shoe, and they did not hurt. i was able to run around fine with minor pain in my heels, but nowhere else. after about an hour of practicing i started to notice pains in my heels again, so i decided to come home, still with my shoes on, and they're still on now, and i can tell i have blisters or bad heal pain, and the shoe has tightened up a little bit since they stretched from the sock, but they're still looser than before. smile.gif i'll try it again tomorrow and hopefully they'll be ready for my practice tuesday. smile.gif lata.

ActionWrestling

BanginDrumsAMO 9

I just bought some vapor 2's and got bad blisters on my heels the first time I wore them. So what I did is I took a shower with them on which worked really well, and then I bought some Dr.Scholl's "Heel Liners". Now my feet feel incredible in my vapors.
What the Heel liners do, is they take away the area that chafes against your heel .
I highly recommend this method

1.Double socks
2.Plaster






Theo Walcott is 222 dope he quick on and off the ball.
There a breh that played for Arsenal that was in the u16 games v wales he looks like another Theo?He set up dat wicked player sturridge.
Anyone no were he is know, his pace was different class.
sportz4life10
Vapors are meant for people with a very high arch. So thats why some people don't need to break in these boots.
prancingHORSE
i've bought vapor2's, wore them with game socks and tied them up really tight and dipped into a tub of warm water while wearing them, around 20mins later i took them off carefully and just let it dry naturally. i've never had blisters caused by my vapors and they are actually comfortable to me, i dont even need heel liners etc. thumbsup.gif
