FAQs
How do I cut the felt to the right shape?
Use clean, sharp scissors to carefully trim the felt. You can trace the outline of the area you need to cover on the felt or use the area itself as a guide.
Can I apply this directly to my skin?
Yes, the Profoot Chiropody Felt uses a hypoallergenic adhesive that is suitable for direct application to the skin.
How long does the felt last?
The duration of effectiveness depends on usage. It is generally recommended to replace the felt when it shows signs of wear or when the adhesive is no longer secure.
Is this suitable for diabetic foot care?
While it provides cushioning and shock absorption, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or podiatrist for specific foot care advice, especially for conditions like diabetes.
What are the dimensions of the felt sheet?
The chiropody felt sheet measures approximately 22.5cm x 10cm.
What is the thickness of the felt?
The thickness of the chiropody felt is 5mm.
Can I reuse the same piece of felt?
It is generally best to use a fresh piece for each application to ensure optimal adhesion and hygiene. Reusing may compromise the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Felt is not sticking well
Ensure the application area (skin or shoe interior) is clean and completely dry. Press firmly after application. If the adhesive has been touched or compromised, try a new piece.
Felt is uncomfortable or causing irritation
Ensure the felt is trimmed smoothly and the edges are not digging into the skin. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult the product information for sensitive skin suitability.
Felt bunches up during activity
Make sure the felt is applied to a smooth surface and pressed down firmly. For shoe applications, ensure it is placed on a flat area of the insole and not near seams or curves that could cause it to lift.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean and dry the foot or the inside of the shoe where the felt will be applied.
- Using clean scissors, carefully trim the chiropody felt to the desired shape and size.
- Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side.
- Apply the felt directly to the skin or the inside of the footwear, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres securely.
Compatibility:
This chiropody felt is compatible with most types of footwear, including casual shoes, athletic shoes, and dress shoes. However, due to its 5mm thickness, it may slightly alter the fit of very narrow or snug-fitting shoes.
Care:
To maintain hygiene, it is recommended to replace the chiropody felt when it shows signs of wear or when the adhesive loses its effectiveness. Avoid washing the felt, as this can degrade the material and adhesive. Store unused portions in a cool, dry place.
