KT Tape BFF Blister Prevention Tape, Friction-Reducing, Thin, Flexible, Breathable, 30 Pack, 3.5" Precut Strips

I have very small, wide feet, so I usually have to settle for shoes that are too long so that they are wide enough. Therefore, my shoes often rub up and down on my heels. This tape saved my heels on a trip to France where I was walking 4-8 miles a day. Took up very little space in my luggage and very convenient pre-cut strips. So happy this tape is back in stock.

I use these instead of "Moleskin" to protect the outside of my 4th and 5th toes, to put on any spot that is getting rubbed too much, like the upper arch of my foot, and on the end of my big toe, which can blister on a long hike. I find they last two or three days, even with water exposure. The 3.5" strips are very convenient to cut to size and apply. It does what it says and does it well, as do all KT products that I have tried.

So far so good. I get blisters on the ball of my foot right between my big toe and 2nd toe. I put the tape on today for a hike in 90 degree humid Texas weather. These little bad boys worked! No blisters! I am just now starting back out so my hike was only about 5 miles, but I am excited now for longer hikes now that I am able to walk without the pain of blisters 4 miles in.

I have been training for a half marathon and discovered early on that my feet were incredibly prone to blisters. I tried so many things but nothing worked until these! Once I taped up my feet on one of my long run days, I was good as gold! The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that there isn’t a lot of product for the price - so one container didn’t last me one 19 week cycle (admittedly I do have to use three to four pieces per foot but that adds up fast). I find it works best in areas that don’t have the potential to rub against the shoe (ex. Between toes, ball of foot, etc. rather than on the back of the heel) since the adhesive may not work best while rubbing against a harder surface.

The tapes are easy to put on as they don't cling to themselves requiring multiple stretchings and replacing to get them perfectly situated. I used them on my heels and the balls of my feet. I didn't make it to the marathon finish line. But at least I didn't have blisters to add to my dispair.

I have always found blister patches good but never quite large enough and too easy to come off while still trekking. These are my new go to and are in both my daypack and walking pack. They stay on. Large enough but can be cut to make smaller. Great product, thank you!

These did not work very well on my heels. They kept rolling up unless i applied 2 strips on a heel (and even then it still sometimes rolled up), and wore out quickly. The adhesive may stay on for 1-2 days, but the strip won't last that long as protection. I had to change out strips at least once each day because the set I'd put on earlier had been worn through.I think I'd have better luck just buying oversized Band-Aids to use.

Theses have worked really well for me during ultra marathons and daily training. Once you put it on it stays on. Plus with the fabric-like material it allows that hot sport to glide with whatever it is against to help reduce that heat/friction.
