FirstChoice Extra Durable Moleskine - 5cm x 4.6m

This inexpensive purchase is going to save me a TON of money! I have a problem where the heels of my shoes (athletic shoes in particular) break down and become uncomfortable. Not sure why it happens but it happens with virtually every pair of shoes I have ever bought. Once that heel breaks down the shoe becomes uncomfortable even though it might only have 2 months of use and everything else about the shoe is still in great condition. In the past I have ended up throwing the shoes away. I learned from the ‘ol inter web that moleskin can help in this situation so I decided to give it a try. This product is as good a quality as what you would get from the major brand (DS), but for the price (and quantity) it is a FAR better buy. It works the same - same adhesiveness, same feel/thickness. And same wear. Once I received it I cut pieces to put in the heel space that was damaged in all my athletic shoes and BOOM, it’s like the shoes are new again. So far I have been wearing them for ~2 months and everything is still holding (although it would be easy to replace the moleskin if needed). Life (well, shoe) savers!

Fantastic stuff! Saved my toes when walking around all day at Disneyland for a week!

Dependable Foot Saver for Blisters and Hot Spots This RadBizz moleskin roll has been a staple in my hiking and travel kit for years. At 2" wide and 5 yards long, there’s plenty of material to cut into custom shapes for heels, toes, or anywhere shoes rub. The cotton is soft but durable, and the adhesive backing is strong enough to stay put through long days in boots. I’ve used it breaking in stiff leather shoes, during multi-day hikes, and even inside running shoes. In every case, it’s made the difference between finishing blister-free or hobbling home. The felted surface reduces friction nicely, and because it’s a roll, I can cut strips exactly how I need them. I’ve also used it to line worn-down shoe heels to squeeze a few more months out of them—works surprisingly well. A couple of small notes: the adhesive is very sticky (which is a good thing when you’re counting on it to stay put), but it can leave residue that takes some scrubbing to remove. Also, if your feet sweat a lot, the edges can eventually peel back, so carrying extra strips to reapply is smart. Bottom line: A versatile, heavy-duty moleskin that’s easy to cut, easy to pack, and works better than bandages or tape for blister prevention. Excellent value for anyone who hikes, runs, or just needs relief from shoes that rub.

Need better glue when sweating

It’s very soft and I liked the width, however I bought it to line the inside top edge of my daughter’s strapless wedding gown. It could not be sewn in (stitching would have shown.) so I was hoping the sticky side would hold but it did not. It rolled off at the fitting. It was a lot to ask of the product. Maybe considered an off-label use. It is a very nice quality, just wasn’t suited for the job we needed it to do.
