I played in my Vapors today after not wearing them for 3 months and by the end of the game my feet were killing me...my heel is all blistered and sore with puss coming out of them

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to soften up the back of my vapors so they don't rub?

What can I do to my heels in the mean time to stop the pain?

You could stick a tennis ball or a drinks can in the heel an wedge it in there nice and firm so it opens the heel out, leave them like that until next time you play in them. helped for me.

Also, another method i used to stop rubbing was, i put electrical tape on the top of the heel part on the boot in a way that it opened the heel out a bit more and stopped the rubbing, works a treat.

Hope it helps thumbsup.gif

what's electrical tape?

is that insulation tape?

how would that stretch the boot?

I might use dubbin because that stuff is a bit like leather then do the tnnis ball job

its just the tape you use to hold your socks up, well the tape i use, do you want me to take some pics?
Dandinho
yer please dude
Ki-Ki
okely dokely, il be about 10 minutes

edit: here they are

the ones without the tape have never been used, you can see the difference, maybe small but it helps alot.(sorry bout the 2 pics of one boot, computers being slow and wont remove it)

That happend to me when i bought these adidas sneakers, I wore bandaid and it then wore the heel out.

ive had mine with the tape on for months and had no problems wearin the heel out.
Dandinho
think I'll do that with the tennis ball too and leave them for a week and play in my abs in trianing - if I can go training - cause my heels ar wrecked


you know ronaldo had the problem with his vapors and blisters and he was criticized for the lack of movement in his first game...probably had blisters cause I couldn't move in trianing I wasl iterally just waiting for the ball to shoot

i wore mine into my tub of hot water and molded them and the took two tennis balls and put them in hot water and the stuffed it into the back of the heel of my vapors ...

offtopic2.gif (i should of patented that tennis ball idea)
Dandinho
the hot water tennis ball is a good idea because when the material gets hot it will stretch

right now I just have a can of coke in the back of each boot to iden them up
