My Silipos achilles pad arrived yesterday. It's the latest addition to a sad Silipos collection that includes:

-- elbow pads
-- knee pads
-- bunion cover pad thingies

I don't know whether I was going for the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man look, but that's where my whole personal style is heading.

Watch it, Vera Wang. I'm draped in silicone. I'm sweepin' the runways. I'm STYLIN' ON ICE.

haha that's how i am with bunga pads
i have
-oval gel pads (for medial/lateral ankle bones), but one melted
-plain ole ankle sleeves
-one boot bumper bc the ankle sleeve is not enough

and i also need the metatarsal pads

Lol yeah I have elbow bads, wrist pads and sometimes michelin-man pants for my bum (more like, hips).
I kinda know how you feel.

And of course bungapads.


It makes sense though to protect your body! Look at hockeyers, look at motorcyclists, look at skiers, all are wearing protection gear.

What are these two? I've never heard of them.

the boot bumper is a thin cloth sleeve with thick gel inserts in the front (for lace bite) and over the Achilles

the metatarsal pad pads the balls of the feet. i've had to take the insole out of my right boot to make make enough room, so the balls of my feet take a pounding (no shock absorber) without them

i also wear butt/hip pads sometimes lol. so just know, you are not the only super-padded skater. i probably should wear an elbow pad (i have a broken left arm right below the elbow that i refuse to have casted), but i don't have one...

Hmmmmmm that first one would be funky for my landing foot I think with the bone growth around the achilles! Once I'm cleared for jumping I might consider it, great, thanks for pointing it out!

theres also this one for the achilles. the boot bumper combines that pad and the lace bite pad, so if you don't want the bulk of the front lace bite pad, that one will still help your achilles
