We have good padding on our rail for learning skills like Tkachev straddled and Jaeger straddled.
But what’s the best padding to wear on the heels and calves?
Leave a comment if you’ve found pads that work for you.
==== UPDATE: Coach Kyle recommends ice hockey elbow pads. “They fit perfectly have a plastic shell with foam backing. These are the best! They are also slim and flexible and will allow you to point your toes.”
Jeremy Mosier uses the same thing on the heels. And adds a shin pad (facing backwards) to protect the calf.

Elbow pads are probably smaller than knee pads, so better for heels?
Hockey elbow pads are the best hands down. They fit perfectly have a plastic shell with foam backing. These are the best! They are also slim and flexible and will allow you to point your toes. Don’t mess with anything else.
