Andover Moleskin & Padding

Andover is known for practical padding and protective products that keep skin comfortable under friction, pressure, and wraps. When a shoe rubs a heel raw, a splint presses against bone, or a taping job needs a barrier between adhesive and irritated skin, moleskin is the low-cost fix clinicians and athletes reach for first.

This collection features Andover Moleskin, 9 Inches x 4 Yards, Tan—a generous roll of soft, brushed cotton flannel backed with a strong adhesive. The 9-inch width lets you cut pads to any size you need, from small blister covers to larger cushioning strips for the arch, ball of the foot, or over a callus. At four yards, a single roll goes a long way in a clinic, athletic training room, or home first-aid kit.

The most common question buyers ask is how to use it: cut a piece slightly larger than the sore spot, round the corners so it doesn't peel, and apply it directly to clean, dry skin as a friction barrier—or use it beneath tape and orthopedic devices to protect fragile skin. The tan color blends discreetly and the flannel face reduces rubbing without adding bulk inside a shoe. It trims cleanly with scissors and holds well through a day of activity.

Moleskin is a staple in foot care, sports medicine, and general wound prevention. If you're building out related supplies, browse our broader Wound Care selection, and explore Physical Therapy & Rehab for taping, padding, and support products that pair naturally with Andover moleskin.
