On the Go!

Just the other day, I received a call from a customer inquiring about how to effectively apply an ENGO^® Blister Prevention Patch to the heel area of her walking footwear. After hearing her explanation of the issue, the 2-Patch Interface Application seemed most appropriate.

Here are some tips for applying ENGO^® patches to footwear where the bottom (footbed) and sides of footwear meet.

Step 1: If possible, remove your insole/footbed from your shoe. This will make applying a blister patch easier.

Step 2: Apply blister patch to top of insole/footbed, leaving approximately 1/3 to ½ of the patch to overhang and tuck underneath the insole/footbed. This provides an “anchor” for the patch to stay in place.

Step 3: Locate the opposing interface on the footwear (typically the ankle (back of shoe) or arch (side of shoe) where you often experience high friction. Apply an ENGO^® patch to that location.

Step 4: Place the insole/footbed back into the footwear and go!

For additional product tips and pictures of this and other ENGO^® application techniques, visit the ENGO - How it Works page.
