Review on Optimized Ankle Gel Discs for Boots by CRS Cross (Enhanced Protection and Cushioning for Ice Skating, Hockey, Roller, Inline, Hiking, Riding, Ski Boots) by Josh Whitehead

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Original Quality Poor - Interchangeable in pairs Good - Durability Excellent

These pads are a great idea but I doubt their durability. One of the two discs had a tear in the middle right out of the box. The crack is internal; I don't think it will break right away, but I didn't take any chances. Revain replaced my order immediately. My replacement pads are both in good condition. I bought them to ride the Xiaomi Mi M365 electric scooter. I'm happy to help with training in economy mode. Sometimes I bang my knuckles on the deck of a scooter while warming up. I will use these discs with socks almost every day. I bought these because they are much more discreet in my ankle socks than buying a real football ankle/shin pad. If these drives last a while I will update my review to share my confidence in the product. Update September 21, 2019: I wear a spare pair of ankle gel pads 3 or 4 times a week throughout the spring and summer. In autumn they are still strong. You saved me from several bad ankle bruises. I recommend this product. I bought a second pair for the outside of the heels. Again, the original quality of one of the two pads in the new set was poor. There was a blister and a scratch. (See image). I have a spare pair from Revain. Another scratch and someone's eyelash was stuck in the pane forever! But I leave this pair - why try again. Who knows what problem might arise in the next set.
