How to Prevent Bruises From Snow Boots

Executive Summary By Ariel Phillips

Boots that fit poorly can cause pain and bruising, and you don't want to be injured after a day of winter activity from your ill-fitting boots.

• Step 1

Try on several different snow boots before making a purchase.

• Step 2

Get snow boots with extra padding on the ankle part of the boot. Sometimes snow boots will have hard or layered top surfaces that cut into your ankles.

• Step 3

Get snow boots that are snug but not too snug.

• Step 4

Get snow boots that allow your heel to slip slightly. Buy snow boots that are snug above the ankle. If you already own snow boots that are too loose, try buying a thick liner to fill the excess space, which is often the cause of snow boot-related bruises.

Tips :
If your snow boots are causing serious bruising, stop wearing them.
