Foot Care

Foot care products can improve foot comfort during sports, particularly distance running and marathon running. Blisters can form during running activities when friction between the layers of the skin causes a pocket of fluid or blood to develop as a blister. Blister treatment involves keeping the blister clean, particularly if the skin is broken. Applying a Compeed blister plaster can help speed up the healing process and prevent any further friction against the skin surface. Of course blister prevention is better than blister treatment.

There are a range of blister prevention products that can be used. Blister prevention socks like the 1000 Mile sock range feature a blister free guarantee. 1000 Mile socks have a double layer construction that prevents friction between the skin and the inner surface of your footwear. 1000 Mile socks are also made from a special moisture wicking fabric that prevents build up of perspiration and keeps the feet in better condition. 1000 Mile socks are ideal for running and sports use.

Anti blister sticks can also be used for blister prevention. Anti blister sticks have a special lubricant that reduces friction against the skin of the feet. Compeed produce an anti blister stick as well as a whole range of footcare products including corn plasters, callouse plasters, heel crack plasters, foot cream and heel crack cream.

Insoles and orthotics are foot care products that can prevent running injuries such as shin splints, shin stress reactions and stress fractures, heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Shock absorbing inner soles such as Noene, Sorbothane and Spenco insoles reduce the stress on the shins, knee joints, hip joints and back and can help sports injury prevention. Spenco orthotic insoles provide support for the medial arch of the foot. Spenco orthotic insoles are ideal for the flat feet, fallen arches and excessive pronation during running and can restore normal running biomechanics and help reduce injury risk.
