Embarrassed to be asking, has anyone had any experiences with consumer proposals in the NWT? What companies provide their services here up in the north, or who to avoid?
Can't believe this is something I may have to consider.
Much thanks.
My son has a large blister on his heel and a hot spot on the other after wearing Gear Halo hockey socks for the first time. He usually wears a typical sock you would buy at Wal-Mart without issue. Has anyone experienced blistering from hockey socks?
He is 12 years old and he got new skates in mid July. He was sized as a 5.5 Fit 1, and we walked out with a size 6 Fit 1 Bauer Vapour Velocity (moved up to a size 6 because of tightness on top of the foot near the toes). Skates were baked, he has waxed laces and superfeet.
He had a hockey camp and developed a blister on the right instep where that protruding bone is in front of the ankle. I had those spots on both skates punched out after the camp. No issues at the heels, no hot spots, redness or blisters. No issues anywhere else on the feet.
Fast forward to this Monday and the start of another camp. It was his first time wearing the skates after having them punched. Up to this point he has had 11 ice times (approximately 10.5 hours of ice time). It was also the first time he has tried hockey socks, this is the only thing that was different from the last time he wore them, other than the punching. First hour went well, he said they felt great. He came off the ice after the second hour long skate limping. He has a large blister on his right heel, and a hot spot on his left. Unfortunately, he did not get off when they started to hurt because he wanted to keep playing. He did say that his heels were moving up and down with the new socks.
My thought is the change of socks led to the blisters. I chatted with our local sports store (did not buy the skates there, we are from an isolated city so I can't return the skates where I bought them) and their head hockey guy doesn't think its a sizing issue. He thinks it was caused by the switch in socks. I know hockey socks are supposed to do the opposite. Has anyone had a similar experience switching to a specific hockey sock?
