What is walking wool? Use and tips

Skéépe Walking Wool is made from wool from Texel sheep and is used in areas where friction or pressure may occur whilst walking. The wool feels soft, has an airy texture and moulds easily to the skin. This creates a protective layer between your foot and your shoe.

Many people use walking wool whilst walking, exercising or on days when they are on their feet a lot. It is a simple and natural alternative to plasters or other materials.

What is walking wool used for?

You use walking wool in areas where you notice that shoes or socks are rubbing or where extra pressure builds up.

For example:

Areas where you quickly feel friction
Blistering
The heel during longer distances
Toes rubbing against each other or the shoe
Sensitive areas on the foot
Tired feet after a long day

The wool provides a soft layer, reducing direct contact with the shoe and making walking feel more comfortable.
