Frequently Asked Questions

It sits between your forefoot and your boot. The inner surface stays put against your skin; the outer surface slides against your sock.

So the rubbing still happens — it just happens to the sleeve instead of to you. The gel layer also cushions the big toe joint, which absorbs the load on every push-off and hard stop.

Yes, and you're not doing anything wrong. Boots are built tight on purpose — you want the foot locked in for cutting and striking the ball — and that same tight fit is what drives friction into the forefoot.

It happens to casual and club players alike. New boots, more playing time and a hard or artificial pitch all at once is a lot to ask of your feet.

Some skin does adapt over time. But blisters are caused by shear — layers of skin sliding against each other under load — and that force doesn't go away because you've been playing longer.

Waiting it out has a cost too. Once a spot is sore, most people unconsciously change how they plant and push off to avoid it, and that's how a foot problem turns into an ankle or knee problem.

Yes. The gel layer is 3 mm, and the whole thing is built to sit under a normal sock without eating the space in your boot.

This is the main reason it's one piece across the forefoot rather than separate toe caps. Stacking individual caps on multiple toes crowds an already tight boot and can create a new pressure problem — which is exactly what we designed around.

Different problem. Grip socks stop your foot sliding around inside the boot, which is real and worth having.

They don't do anything about the boot pressing directly on your forefoot. That's a pressure and shear problem, not a slippage one, and it's the one this is built for. Plenty of people wear both.

This is the right question to ask, because most gel products are sealed — which is why their own instructions tell you to air out your feet and take them off for a few hours a day.

That matters beyond comfort: damp skin blisters more readily than dry skin, so a sealed protector inside a hot boot can end up causing what it's meant to stop. Ours is ventilated so moisture has somewhere to go.

Yes — and artificial pitches are where most players notice it most. They grip harder than grass, so more of that force transfers straight into shear across your forefoot.

Indoor and futsal shoes are flatter and tighter through the forefoot, which produces the same problem for a different reason. The mechanism is identical wherever your foot meets the front of the shoe.

No. It's designed around football boots, but the same forefoot rubbing happens in running shoes, hiking boots and padel or tennis shoes.

If your shoe fits snugly at the front, the sleeve works the same way.

It's reusable — rinse it in cool water after each session and air dry it flat. Most people get months of regular use from a pair.

Plenty of players keep a second pair in the bag so there's always a dry one for back-to-back games.
