Heel and Lace Pads Foam: soft friction protection during taping
Heel and Lace Pads are thin, pre-cut foam pads for areas where footwear, laces, braces or sports tape can create friction. They are commonly used around the heel, instep and ankle as a local protective layer under a taping or bandaging system.
Why choose Heel and Lace Pads?
- Thin, flexible foam pads for local protection.
- Help reduce friction and pinching around sensitive areas.
- Useful under sports tape, underwrap or a brace.
- Available from Sporta Pro in packs of 250 or 2,000.

Preparation before taping
Position a pad on intact skin over the friction-prone area before applying underwrap and tape. An appropriate skin lubricant may provide additional comfort when it is part of the taping method used.
Apply without folds
Make sure the foam lies flat and does not fold over. The pad is a protective layer and does not itself provide mechanical fixation.
Choose the appropriate pack
The 250-pad pack suits lower-volume use; the 2,000-pad bulk pack is more practical for clubs and treatment rooms with frequent demand.
