Previous Feedback
Comments:TOO TIGHT , TOO SMALL. My feet are size 11, so I ordered Large ( 9.5-12.0) so they should be perfect for me, but I barely put them on.

Comments: These things are awesome. If ankle soreness is limiting the duration of your skate sessions, first you should try loosening your boots. If that doesn't work, pick up these booties and your ankles will no longer be a limiting factor. I've been skating in them for about 6 months and now I can't imagine skating without them. I wear men's 8.5 street shoe, ordered these in size 7-9.5 and they fit perfectly underneath a pair of socks.

Comments: PROS
+ Protects top of foot from lace bite when wearing roller hockey skates
+ Protects ankle bones from skate boot - I have a sensitive ankle due to bursitis
+ Ankle pads are perfectly aligned - medial is lower than the outer
CONS
- As stated by another reviewer, these are tight but will loosen after use (I'm size 9 and bought M)
- I ripped the stitching since I was tugging hard to get it over my foot
- When skates are laced tight and worn under socks, stitching irritates top of foot
TIPS
Be careful when wearing them for the first time so you don't rip the stitching
I plan to wear these on top of socks so stitching does not irritate foot

Comments: These have made my stock liners in my Roces aggressive skates hug my ankles more effectively, providing ankle support needed for grinds.

Comments: I've had my booties for 3 months and although they do their job of removing hot spots near my ankle, the build quality is poor. The stitching at the top and side of my right booty is already coming apart. And I only use these booties about once a week.
