Graf asked the researchers to determine the cause of both lace bite and also the heel spurs that hockey players get on the back of their feet. These bumps are an epidemic among hockey players. They aren&normal or healthy.The bumps are caused by movement of your foot inside your hockey skates. The movement creates friction, which causes a blister and then eventually a heel spur. In addition to the bumps, when your foot moves inside the skate, you aren&skating as well as you could be because you have energy loss. Players spend countless hours doing on-ice and dry land training and then they wear hockey skates that don&allow them to maximize their efforts.The liner in the Graf G9035 has a deep heel pocket and a channel for your Achilles tendon.
