What causes it
- A new or stiff boot that has not broken in yet
- Boots that are a little too wide, letting the ankle shift and rub
- Bony ankles (the malleolus) with little natural padding
- Long sessions on the ice, slopes or trail
How Bunga Pads help
Our ankle sleeves and boot bumpers place soft gel exactly over the ankle bones. The gel spreads out the pressure and reduces friction, while the thin fabric sleeve keeps it in place inside a tight boot.
Tips for the best fit
- Pick the sleeve size from your shoe size using the size chart on each product.
- Wear the sleeve directly against the skin, with the gel centered over the ankle bone.
- Break new boots in gradually: short sessions first.
