New shoes bite. Bunions rub. Blisters form in the same spot every time. And calluses that have already built up don't need more friction making them worse they need a barrier that protects them while the skin underneath recovers. The solution in every case is the same something soft, something that stays put and something that sits between the skin and the source of the problem.

    Really, really great!

    I have fragile skin on my feet due to medical issues and always have a callus on each big toe. Sometimes they become large and infected. I have only recently discovered these moleskin protectors and they are magnificent! They protect the callus, preventing excessive growth and possible infection. I cannot praise this product enough! Many thanks - I am never without them now‼️

    They provide comfort for my bunionette when wearing shoes.

    Found these protectors to be just what I needed to give some comfort when wearing shoes that aggravated the bunionette on my foot.

FAQs

Can I use Moleskin Protectors directly over a blister?

If the blister is intact the skin is unbroken and the fluid is still contained the protector can be applied directly over it to cushion from shoe contact and prevent further trauma. If the blister has broken and the skin is open, do not apply the protector directly over the wound. Apply around the broken blister to protect the surrounding healthy skin from further friction while the wound heals.

Will Moleskin Protectors stay in place inside my shoe during activity?

The self-adhesive backing bonds directly to clean, dry skin and provides a secure hold through normal daily activity and moderate exercise. For high-intensity activity or extended athletic use where maximum hold is needed, the Moleskin Anti-Friction Roll with fixomull or tape over the top is the more appropriate choice for prolonged secure adhesion.

How many protectors do I get per pack?

Each pack contains six single-use protectors providing ample supply for multiple areas or multiple occasions. At one protector per application, six protectors covers six separate uses across any combination of blisters, calluses, bunions or heel protection needs.

Are Moleskin Protectors suitable for bunion protection in everyday footwear?

Yes, the soft moleskin cushions the bunion prominence from direct shoe contact, reducing the friction and pressure that causes bunion pain to build through daily wear. For more comprehensive bunion management, the Synxgeli Gel Bunion Sleeve and Gel Bunion Shields provide a more targeted and reusable solution and the Bunion Relief Pack combines gel protection with insole support for a complete podiatrist-recommended bunion management system.

Can I use these on my heels when breaking in new shoes?

Yes heel protection during the break-in period of new shoes is one of the most practical everyday applications. Apply a protector to the heel before putting on new shoes to create a barrier between the stiff shoe back and the skin preventing the heel blisters that make new shoes uncomfortable before they've softened and moulded to the foot.
