Profoot Mole Skin Comfort Padding

Product Information

A common and painful annoyance among runners, walkers, hikers, and other athletes, foot blisters are usually caused by wearing too-tight shoes or wet footwear. Blister bandages can be used to cover the fluid-filled sacs, reducing the pain so you can keep walking or running. They also serve as a protective barrier around the skin by sealing out water, dirt, and germs that can cause infection. Compare moleskin in the graphs above to some other materials you might know. If none of these are familiar, let me point out two that I use for blister prevention and treatment. PPT-Poron

And finally, a weekend-long test where a researcher wore the plasters for three nights' sleep, three showers and a 50=mile bike ride, among other usual day-to-day activities. We found its premium fabric plasters incredibly long lasting, surviving hour-long soaks in the bath, sweaty rides on a turbo trainer, runs, bike rides, netball matches and more.The tape is sold in a dispenser. So, it looks similar to a word correction tape. And making it easily slipped into a purse. And carried on a night out in case of necessity after too much dancing! The tape is perforated. So, no need to carry scissors, and it can be discreetly added to any shoe to make the night last longer. The cut to size pads or rolls are ideal for larger areas or bigger shoes, the toe areas in heels and the tape is perfect for straps on any shoes. You will be able to see easily which product will work for your particular issue. Based on our testing, its long-life plasters are absolutely brilliant, but they are more expensive than some alternatives we found that are just as good. Needing multiple plasters for the same cut not only costs you more cash but is also bad for the environment as a succession of discarded plasters end up in landfill. The plasters we tested survived long runs, sweaty turbo trainer workouts, hour-long baths and more, and they were still tough to remove from the skin almost every single time.

Moleskin comes in all shapes and sizes for different areas of application –large cut to size pads for larger areas, readily shaped pads for heels of shoes or tape, for those strappy sandals mentioned earlier, it even comes in a large roll for cutting down. Read the product description. Some can apply to either the foot or the shoe. And some is to recommend for application to the shoe. How to Size Moleskin? Poron is a good cushioning material used by podiatrists for lots of things including blister prevention. We don’t use it for its friction properties, we use it for pressure-reduction and shear absorption. The point to make here is, if you’re using moleskin to cushion or as donut pads, you can do much better. You’ll get lower friction levels, far lower peak pressures and some shear absorption with Poron. There’s even reasearch that shows an alternative product called Spenco, one that we use for insoles and orthotic covers, performs even better than Poron at reducing blister formation (Spence and Shields, 1968).
