ReSkin Feet Patch

The plaster feels thin and flexible and fits snugly around the ball of your foot. You hardly notice it in your sock or shoe because it moves with your skin. The fabric is breathable, preventing your foot from getting sweaty underneath.

It works best in areas where your forefoot experiences a lot of friction. Think of a long descent where your foot slides forward, an ultra with wet feet, or the first long runs in new shoes. It is precisely after a few hours of running, when your skin becomes soft and warm, that you notice the difference: where you would otherwise feel a burning spot, the skin remains calm. If you already have a blister starting to form, the plaster protects it against further friction.

If in doubt, look at where you are experiencing discomfort. The patch is shaped for the ball of the foot, so a different shape is more convenient for your heel or toes. Apply it to clean, dry skin, as it adheres less well to sweaty or creamy skin. Because you can wash it and reuse it, one patch lasts for multiple runs.

In short: a reusable second skin for a forefoot that chafes easily.
