Under no circumstances should this tape be used to prevent calluses on the heels.

The only correct part of the product description seems to be the color of the tape: beige. I suffer a lot from calluses on my heels but was very hopeful when I found this tape. I put on a few layers on my heels before leaving the house for a hike. It was very embarrassing when the tape started peeling off just walking in sandals. Started hiking about an hour later and stopped after 20 minutes to check condition. No part of the tape was still stuck to my skin and it was held only by my socks. I figured it was at least better than nothing and continued, hoping the socks would continue to hold the band in place. Checked back in 15 minutes later and the tape had curled up into a small brown thing that looked like a joint and was now resting on my leg. Totally useless. This tape is only slightly tacky to the touch. I see other commenters saying how sticky this is. You must have received a different product than me.

Pros
  • Durable surface
Cons
  • Damaged
