Product Information

Full details

The SterlingSquare Profoot Multi-Use Gel Padding is designed for adults seeking immediate relief from foot discomfort caused by friction and pressure from blisters, bunions, corns, and calluses. Its key benefit is superior cushioning and friction reduction using advanced polymer gel, offering a long-term solution that also softens skin. A potential caveat is that its self-adhesive nature may require reapplication over time depending on wear.

FAQs

How long does the adhesive last?

The adhesive's longevity depends on usage, friction, and moisture. For best results, apply to clean, dry surfaces and replace when adhesion weakens.

Can I cut the gel padding to fit smaller areas?

Yes, the gel padding is designed to be flexible and can be easily cut with clean scissors to any desired shape or size for precise application.

How does the mineral oil help?

The mineral oil infused in the gel works to moisturize and soften hardened skin, helping to prevent and reduce the formation of corns and calluses with regular use.

Can I wear the padding on my bare foot or must it go in a shoe?

You can apply the padding directly to your foot or to the inside of your footwear. The self-adhesive backing allows for versatile application depending on your preference and need.

Is this product suitable for diabetics?

While it offers cushioning, individuals with diabetes should consult their healthcare provider before using any foot care products, especially if they have existing foot conditions or compromised circulation.

How do I clean the gel padding if it gets dirty?

Gently wipe the adhesive side with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid soaking the padding in water. Allow it to air dry completely before reapplication, though replacement is often recommended when it loses stickiness.

What is the main difference between this gel padding and foam padding?

This advanced polymer gel offers superior cushioning and significantly better friction reduction compared to traditional foams and felts, providing more durable and effective protection.

Troubleshooting

Padding not sticking well

Ensure the application area (skin or shoe interior) is clean and completely dry. Avoid applying lotions or powders to the skin before application. Press down firmly for at least 30 seconds after application. If the adhesive is compromised, replace the padding.

Gel padding feels uncomfortable or rubs

Re-check the shape and placement of the cut padding. Ensure it is applied smoothly without wrinkles. If the issue persists, try a different size or shape, or consider applying it to a different area or shoe.

Skin irritation develops

Discontinue use immediately if skin irritation occurs. Cleanse the affected area and consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists. Ensure the padding is not applied too tightly or over broken skin.

Padding losing cushioning effect

Gel padding can compress over time with significant use. If the cushioning is no longer effective, it is time to replace the padding with a new piece.

Pros and Cons

  • Helps soften and prevent corns and calluses over time.
  • Can be customized for a perfect fit on any part of the foot or shoe.
  • Easy to apply with a strong self-adhesive backing.
  • Versatile use for various foot conditions and footwear types.

Cons

  • May require replacement after prolonged or heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean and dry the area of the foot or the inside of the footwear where the padding will be applied.
  2. Measure and cut the gel padding to the desired size and shape using clean scissors.
  3. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side.
  4. Carefully apply the padding to the chosen area, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres well.

Compatibility:

This padding is compatible with a wide range of footwear, including athletic shoes, dress shoes, boots, sandals, and slippers. It can also be applied directly to the skin.

Care:

  • Cleaning: The gel padding itself is not designed to be washed. If it becomes dirty, gently wipe the adhesive side with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding water saturation. Allow it to air dry completely before re-application, if possible.
  • Reapplication: Over time, the adhesive may lose its effectiveness, especially with repeated application and removal or exposure to moisture. Replace the padding when it no longer adheres securely.
  • Storage: Store unused padding in a cool, dry place, ensuring the adhesive side is covered to maintain tackiness.
