What is Zinc Oxide Tape?
Zinc oxide tape is non stretch adhesive sports tape. A variety of sports taping applications use it. In particular, it is used for support straps which protect ligaments and restrict joint movement. It is often called zinc oxide tape because zinc oxide was used in the glue that makes it sticky.
Non stretch sports tape is also perfect for foot taping, for example, preventing blisters and arch support taping for Plantar fasciitis.

Prevention is by far the best cure for blisters. Once you get a blister on your foot then it is likely to be painful. Taping your feet properly with good quality sports tape will avoid blisters and keep your feet in good condition.
Long distance runners, walkers and particularly soldiers become experts at taping their feet. So what is the best type of tape to use for preventing blister?
One inch zinc oxide Tan Tape is ideal. It sticks longer, especially with wet feet. Tape should be applied around the back of your heel, instep and around your toes. For even more protection around the back of your heel apply a blister plaster first, then tape over the top of that. Avoid getting wrinkles in the tape.
