FootAid Gel Toe Protection Sleeves – Open or Closed End
FootAid Gel Toe Protection Sleeves – Open or Closed End
The FootAid Gel Toe Protection Sleeves are designed to cushion sensitive toes and help reduce pressure, friction and rubbing caused by footwear.
Made with a soft, stretch-fabric outer layer and cushioned gel lining, each sleeve gently fits around the toe without adding unnecessary bulk inside most everyday shoes.
Choose the open-end sleeve when you want the tip of the toe uncovered for greater airflow. Choose the closed-end sleeve when cushioning is also needed around the toenail and tip of the toe.
Available in three sizes to accommodate different toes. The sleeves can also be carefully trimmed to achieve a more suitable length.
Sold individually for NZ$5 each.

- Make sure the skin is clean and dry before application.
- Gently slide the sleeve over the toe and adjust it until comfortable.

Why Toe Protection Matters
Toes are exposed to constant pressure and friction from footwear, especially during walking, standing, or long days on your feet. This can lead to irritation, rubbing, and discomfort over time.
Toe protection products are designed to cushion sensitive areas, reduce friction, and help protect the skin from everyday stress.
Simple Everyday Protection
FootAid toe protection products are designed for easy daily use. They can be worn inside most footwear, with socks, or at home depending on the product.
Lightweight and discreet, they provide cushioning without affecting shoe fit, making them suitable for all-day comfort.
