I keep getting bruised heels when going off of kickers. Anyone who has gotten these before know what I'm talking about- MONTHS of pain after one mistake of overshooting a landing. Any tips to prevent this, NS?

Well fitting boots.

Having a a good custom footbed helps massively. By surporting the base of your foot more fully to impact is spread throughout the foot rather then the one small area of the heel.

An an active boot board can help too and a fitter can even go in and make somthing even more cushioned if required.

You are landing to hard, so either the jump is to big, the landing is to flat, or you just suck!
