Why Our Foot Care Products are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all know that foot injuries are the fastest way to slow down a fast-paced athletic program. A single, severe heel blister or lace-bite contusion can sideline a star athlete just as effectively as a sprained ankle. During two-a-day football practices, soccer tournaments, and track meets, the intense friction of sweat and stiff footwear creates a brutal environment for skin. Our selection of athletic foot care products is specifically curated to prevent these painful issues from ever developing. For athletic trainers and coaches, keeping a steady supply of friction-reducing ointments and protective padding ensures that your players can break in new cleats or endure long-distance running without agonizing pain, keeping your team operating at peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main purpose of heel and lace pads in athletic taping?
When an athletic trainer tightly tapes a player's ankle to prevent sprains, the stiff tape can painfully pinch the skin at the top of the foot (the lace area) and cause severe friction blisters on the back of the heel. Heel and lace pads act as a soft, protective barrier to prevent these tape cuts and blisters.
2. How do you properly apply heel and lace pads?
Athletic trainers typically take a single pad, apply a generous dab of skin lubricating ointment (like Cramer Skin Lube) to the center, and place it directly over the friction point on the heel or the top of the foot before wrapping the ankle with pre-wrap and athletic tape.
3. Is Cramer Skin Lubricating Ointment just for feet?
No, it is highly versatile. While it is perfect for preventing foot blisters, athletes also use it to prevent chafing on the inner thighs during running, under the arms, or anywhere tight athletic pads and uniform straps rub aggressively against the skin.
4. How does lubricating ointment differ from regular petroleum jelly?
Professional sports lubricating ointments, such as the Cramer brand, feature a specialized, higher-melting-point formula. This means the ointment stays thick and protective under extreme body heat and heavy sweating, whereas standard petroleum jelly tends to thin out and rub away too quickly during intense exercise.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk sports medicine supplies?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and athletic trainers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk boxes of heel and lace pads, keeping their departments fully stocked for the entire season.
