Product Information

Tearable - You don’t want to have to pull out your knife or bring a special pair of scissors to cut your tape. Leukotape rips fairly easily in both directions (though I find it rips crossways better if you 'start' it by biting it). Some leukotape brands contain natural rubber latex and may cause an allergic skin reaction if you have sensitive skin.

Notes on Use Your blisters rarely form right when you finish hiking. Most of the time you will need to continue hiking several miles on them. This is a super common problem with an easy fix. If you want to cover your whole foot, bend your foot pointing upwards and start at the base of the heel working your way up to just before your toes with overlapping strips. Add smaller strips for your toes then add a long strip from the inside of your foot to the outer side. Leukotape can stay on for at least a day, if not several. However, feet need to breath. The actual recommended length of time is 18 hours.Breathable - You shouldn’t leave it on forever, but unlike duct-tape the cotton-rayon material breathes pretty well. It can be left on for a lot longer without issues.
