Big hiker. Leukotape-P and Joshua Tree Climbing Salve over it to prevent it sticking to the sock. It is an almighty godsend. Good video! I have found the tape sticks better if I round it. I usually take individual strips and put them on wax paper. Good placement you have for distance backpacking or running though!

Couple of options: Make sure you have a good quality tape - the ones you get from most chemists in Australia are not that great. Heat the tape up before applying as this activates the glue. There are some sprays that help with tape sticking.

Thanks 🙏

Hi, I tend to get blisters under the arch of my right foot when running. I don’t have orthotics so I’m not sure what my foot is rubbing against. It happens all the shoes I’ve ever had so it’s not the shoe. Do you think it might be my foot strike? Do you know of any way to prevent it besides taping?

It’s hard to say without seeing your feet and how you run. However foot strike and muscle control may have something to do with it but I have also seen this before with runners who have quite flat feet. Additionally the quality of the socks you use can also contribute

What s name for this tape?

Would this method work to prevent blisters during travel while a lot of walking is happening?

This is 35mm ridged tape Unfortunately you will find that there is a big difference in quality of tape. This particular tape is IDM but most of your large tape brands like Leuko etc (that’s in Australia) will be quite good. I personally wouldn’t but tape from a chemist as I have had similar experiences to you. Another trick is to warm that tape roll in your hands or slightly with a hair dryer this helps to activate the glue better

Is 35mm rigid tape the same or better than KTape?

​@@rickeysantosbetter. KT Tape is not designed for this purpose.

These videos would be much more helpful if there was a second person taking a close-up video of the foot rather than the foot taking up 1/40 of the screen of the video. Definitely requires a close-up on the toes. There’s too many videos that focus on the arch. Please post another one with better video technique and thank you for your content.

Thanks for the feedback @mr8966

do you also put Vaseline on ?

@BodyFitPhysiotherapy

3 ай бұрын

As long as there are no existing blisters I have not needed to use Vaseline at times I have found it causes the tape to slip The important thing is that it is high quality tape and sticks well

Like hockey tape?
