The toes are an area that are very prone to chafing and blistering and so the Ultimate Performance™ Toe Protectors are perfect to lessen the impact of this common injury.
The cutaway style of this vest allows full freedom of movements: be noticed, though you'll hardly notice you're wearing it! Ideal for staying visable when out running.
Although thinner than neoprene the compressive design of the support offers a high level of support and is ideal for those who are allergic to, dislike the bulk and/or heat generation of neoprene and latex. The breathable compressive four-way stretch of the material targets support to the area's most requiring it, mimicking the support and action planes of key ligaments and tendons to reinforce them. The compressive element also stimulates blood flow which can help prevent the build-up of lactic acid during and post activity. This reduces the prospect of cramp and stiffness whilst also being a valuable recovery and rehabilitation tool to injury. Recommended for: weak, stiff or aching knees Contains natural rubber latex, may cause allergic reaction in some users. If skin reaction occurs or pain persists, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

The adjustable strap system allows the wearer to adjust the level of dorsi-flexion to suit their needs; pulling the toes back up towards the knee as required. The pull on the toes causes the plantar fascia to stretch, when stretched for a sustained period (overnight) the tissues are encouraged to repair and heal in a better position which helps to reduce and alleviate the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and related heel pain. WEAR INSTRUCTIONS: Undo Velcro fastener. Place stocking over foot and pull up towards the knee. Ensure it fits smoothly with no wrinkles; D-ring goes to the front. Gather any slack around the ankle. Fasten the upper Velcro strap lightly round the leg below the knee. Fasten the strap through the D-ring, and tension so the toes are "just" off the floor when the foot is flat on the floor. DO NOT over-tension (dorsi-flex) the foot as this will lead to discomfort overnight. Contains natural rubber latex: may cause allergic reaction in some users. If skin reaction occurs or pain persists, discontinue use and seek medical advice. Ensure support does not restrict blood flow.
Kinesiology taping is designed to improve the body's natural healing process by helping to increase blood flow around the muscle. It is non-restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion; the wave pattern adhesive backing moves with the skin and muscles.
Recommended for all events including sprints, jumps, javelin and cross country
