It's a common occurrence for hockey players and figure skaters and it's called Lace Bite.
Some skaters like a snug fitting skate. So when they get to the rink and slide on the boot, naturally, they cinch up those laces as tightly as they can.
While the skate may feel nice and snug, the pain that will follow to the tendons in the front of your leg, beneath the tongue of your skates, can be excruciating.
In this video, Centric Health's Mallalea Orban explains lace bite and some of the ways to prevent it from happening.
