FootAid Short Gel Toe Cushion Tube – Open End
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.

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.

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.
