Calf pain + big toe blisters after padel matches, any advices?

Try toe socks that runners wear. Injinji are a good, easy to source brand. Will feel weird at first.

I have had the exact same problems. My things were solved with: 1. Padel socks with a layer under it that stops you from sliding in the shoe too much. 2. Measured insole for my feet 3. Excersizes for the calves, 3 sets of 20 daily 4. Warm up for every match. Not just jump in and start. Calves recovery took the longest, with the insole and socks my blisters stopped coming right away.

Calf pain is probably due to increased load. Try to warm up more before match. Also light active recovery light biking or walking to get the blood flowing next day. Also add some strengthening exercises for legs overall. Aa for big toe blisters, it could be that your feet move a lot inside the shoe and they are sweaty. Baby powder inside socks could help.

I have an easy fix for your calf pain. Just wear long socks till your knees that are tight, like football socks. You will be alright with that. For your big toe, are you wearing the right shoes? The right size? To practice sports you need to wear shoes that are bigger than your regular daily shoes.

I had calf pain, turned out to be my achillis tendon. been out for 3 months and probably 2 or 3 more. be careful :)

I used compression socks that are used by marathon runners, all the way upto the bottom of the knee. Huge difference!

Do you train your muscles as well? 2-3 times a week is a lot without due physical preparation

I had the same problem with blisters under my big toe and tried various all possbile solutions—different shoes, powders, creams like Compeed, and expensive socks. Eventually, what worked for me was a combination of well-fitting shoes, quality socks (I use Falke TE2), and small, smooth patches placed on the insole where my big toe rubs (not on the side but at the bottom). The patches aren’t as large as the one shown in the picture—just enough to cover the area of friction. At first I was really skeptical, but playing with it the first time I was so happy that I didn’t have blisters or any toe pain. A bit surprisingly you actually don't really notice the patch and it doesnt hinder in any way. Here is an example picture, tough my patch is much smaller and only under my big toe: https://preview.redd.it/gc5o9nnl3krg1.png?width=589&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfdb204968d93b09ef7baafd59b3f2d8d1be0834

I used to get blisters until I changed shoes. Used to happen in both tennis and padel

In regards to calf pain. First try to warm up properly before the game. If you play outside in the cold, wear long pants or sports leggins to keep your legs warm. If you go to the gym, start training your calf muscles up. If you are doing a lot of sports and you are quite active every day. Try supplementing magnesium or add bananas to your daily diet. Check your general water intake, do you drink enough, do you maybe lack electrolytes, if so supplement them as well.

What is the wear pattern on your shoe insoles? I’m a huge over pronater and you can tell by my insoles I wear a hole in the big toe. You can go to a podiatrist with a gait analysis treadmill and have custom insoles made but often the generic arch support insoles sold on amazon will do the trick but root issue is typically core instability from sitting all day at an office job and the long term fix is strengthening your hip abductors/glutes and stretching your calves

I had blisters and foot pain, but double socks solved it. I wear thin ankle socks with thick tennis socks over them. Try it.
