Pointe work concentrates your entire body weight on your toes. Blisters, bruised nails, raw skin, and callus tears are inevitable. Every dancer knows the pain — it's part of the art.
Traditional tape sticks to wounds and tears healing skin when removed. Toe pads add bulk that changes shoe fit and alters balance. Lambswool shifts during performance. Nothing seems to work.
Dancers need protection that cushions without changing fit, stays put during performance, and removes without damaging already-destroyed feet.
Buildable layers let you customize protection. Start with 2-3 layers for light cushion, add up to 5 for heavy protection. The thin profile adds less bulk than foam toe pads.
Zero adhesive means zero pain on removal. Guard-Tex doesn't stick to blisters, raw skin, or wounds. Unwrap after class without reopening injuries.
The self-adhering formula stays secure through sweat and movement. Unlike lambswool, it won't shift inside your shoes. Tuck the end under for extra security.
Foam toe pads add bulk and change shoe fit. Lambswool shifts during dancing. Medical tape sticks to wounds. Gel caps can be slippery. Guard-Tex provides customizable cushion without bulk and removes painlessly from damaged skin.
Start with the big toe and any toes that take the most pressure in your shoes. Wrap each toe from base to tip, overlapping by 50%. Focus on tips and joints that contact the box.
2-3 layers for basic protection. 4-5 layers for heavy cushioning. More layers mean more protection but slightly more bulk — find your balance based on your shoes and tolerance.
Unwrap gently. No adhesive pulling on blisters or raw skin. Healing continues uninterrupted. Apply fresh tape for the next class or performance.
Minimal impact. Guard-Tex conforms to your toes without bulk. Start with 2 layers and adjust. Most dancers find they can add protection without significant fit changes.
Yes. Guard-Tex won't stick to wounds — only to itself. This makes it safe for already-damaged feet. Wrap over blisters for protection without causing pain on removal.
Yes. The self-adhering formula stays put through sweat and movement. Tuck the end under itself for extra security during long performances.
