5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for breaking in new figures skates!, February 8, 2008

This review is from: Bunga Pads 5" Ankle Sleeve (Misc.)

I ordered the Bunga ankle sleeve by recommendation from a figure skating forum. This product is a must-have for breaking in stiff, abrasive, new figure skates. They have given new life to my poor tattered ankles! I only wish I'd had these from my first day on the ice with new skates.

The elastic sleeve is lined with a smooth stretchy layer of gel that completely covers the ankle bones and other tender spots where new figure skates tend to rub the skin raw. It guards against ankle bone abrasion, lace bite, and miscellaneous blisters.

The sleeves get a little sweaty with prolonged use, but stay in place well under a thin pair of socks/nylons/tights. They're hand washable, and a must-have for anyone wishing to spare themselves the discomfort of breaking in new skates.

1.0 out of 5 stars $20 for just ONE ankle sleeve, October 27, 2010

This review is from: Bunga Pads 5" Ankle Sleeve (Misc.)

Found out way too late that there is a Bunga Skater's Kit (2pcs x 2.5" gel discs, 2pcs x 5" ankle sleeves and 1pc x aluminum style BungaBox) s for about $43-$45, while this ONE ankle sleeve I purchased from Trader Jay trough Amazon cost me with shipping almost $20. I had to place another order so I don't loose money for the shipping. The ankle sleeve is great to have it, but the price is just not right. Trader Jay advertise "Bunga PadS"- making us believe there are 2 not one pad, but just so you know, you are getting just one- SCAM

This is an awesome product for anyone who figure skates. No more blisters or chaffing from your boots. My daughter would pad herself up with foam, gel disk, you name it! Now all she does is slip these on, put on the boots and she's ready for two hours of lessons and practice!
