FootAid Short Gel Toe Cushion Tube – Open End

The FootAid Short Gel Toe Cushion Tube provides targeted cushioning around sensitive toes to help reduce pressure, friction and rubbing caused by footwear or contact between the toes.

Its soft gel lining cushions the skin, while the stretch-fabric outer layer creates a flexible and comfortable fit. The short, pre-cut design is approximately 3 cm long and ready to wear without trimming.

The open-end design leaves the toenail and tip of the toe uncovered, making it suitable when cushioning is primarily needed around the sides of the toe. It may also be worn on a finger when the selected size fits comfortably.

Choose from three sizes:

• Small: Approximately 3 cm long × 1.5 cm diameter
• Medium: Approximately 3 cm long × 2 cm diameter
• Large: Approximately 3 cm long × 2.5 cm diameter

Sold individually for NZ$5 each.
