Know your wrap

A cotton layer you can see and feel.

The open weave and overlapping layers are central to how Guard-Tex works. Follow the directions on your package when applying it.

Woven, not elastic.

Guard-Tex does not stretch. Unroll your chosen length instead of pulling the material under tension.

Tape meets tape.

Overlapping layers adhere to one another. Press the layers together as directed on the package.

Check the fit.

Added layers change the space inside a shoe. Check your wrap with the socks, pads and footwear you normally use.

Before you choose

Questions, answered.

What is Guard-Tex toe tape made from?

Guard-Tex is a non-stretch woven cotton wrap that sticks to overlapping layers of itself. It contains natural rubber latex.

Does Guard-Tex stretch?

No. Unroll the length you need and overlap the layers. Follow the directions on your package.

Which widths can I choose?

Guard-Tex comes in ¾-inch and 1½-inch widths. The narrower roll offers more precise placement on small areas.

Will wrapping change how my shoes fit?

Any added layer takes up space. Check the feel with your usual socks, pads and shoes before dancing; do not assume the fit will be unchanged.

How long is a roll?

Each roll contains 30 yards, or 90 feet. The number of uses depends on the length you use for each wrap.
