FAQs
What sports is this sock tape suitable for?
This sock tape is suitable for a wide range of sports including soccer, rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, and any activity where keeping socks and shin guards in place is important.
How long does each roll of tape last?
Each roll is 20m long. The duration of use depends on the length applied per session and frequency of use, but it is designed to provide ample tape for numerous applications.
Can I use this tape on bare skin?
While the tape is designed for sports use and can be applied over socks, it is not intended for direct, prolonged application on bare skin as a primary bandage. It is best used to secure socks or shin guards.
Is the adhesive strong enough for heavy contact sports?
Yes, the non-marking adhesive is specifically formulated for sports use to provide a secure hold during intense activity and contact.
What does 'Do not over-tighten' mean?
It means to wrap the tape firmly enough to hold items in place, but not so tightly that it restricts blood flow or causes discomfort. Ensure you can still feel your extremities and they remain a healthy color.
Does the black tape fade?
The color is designed to be consistent. Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to sunlight or harsh washing might affect color over time, but it is intended for durable sports use.
Can I reuse the tape?
This is a single-use adhesive tape. Reusing it will significantly reduce its stickiness and effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Tape not sticking well
Ensure the sock/shin guard and skin are clean and dry before application. Apply firm, even pressure when wrapping. Avoid touching the adhesive side excessively.
Tape leaving residue
While designed to be non-marking, excessive application or leaving tape on for extended periods after heavy sweating might cause slight residue. Remove gently and consider applying to a slightly different area next time.
Skin irritation
Do not over-tighten the tape. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Ensure skin is clean and dry before application. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
Tape loses elasticity quickly
This is normal for sports tape under stress. For very long activities, a secondary application might be needed. Ensure proper storage to maintain tape integrity.

Compatibility: This tape is designed for use with athletic socks and shin guards. It is suitable for various sports applications where maintaining the position of apparel or protective gear is necessary.
