Silipos Gel Skin & Foot Protection

Silipos pioneered mineral-oil gel technology that cushions bony prominences while releasing skin-conditioning oils onto irritated tissue. If you're dealing with a painful corn, a bunion that rubs inside every shoe, a cracked heel, or a toe that blisters against its neighbor, these fabric-and-gel sleeves absorb friction and shear where ordinary padding just bunches up. The gel layer stays in place, softens calluses over time, and can be worn discreetly under socks and hosiery.

A common question: are they reusable? Yes — most Silipos products are washable and last through weeks of daily wear, which makes them far more economical than disposable pads. Rinse in mild soap, air dry, and the gel re-conditions itself.

For heel and Achilles pain, the Silipos Achilles Heel/Ankle Protector (10385) and Achilles Heel Pads (10395) slip on to shield the tendon and back of the heel from shoe-counter rubbing — useful for runners, dress-shoe wearers, and anyone recovering from Achilles irritation. The Bunion Care Sleeve (10325) pulls over the forefoot to cushion the first metatarsal joint without a rigid splint.

For toe problems, sizing is the thing to get right. Digit Caps (10205 small/medium, 10206 large/x-large) cover a whole toe to protect corns and ingrown-nail areas, while Digit Pads (10055 mini, 10065, 10075) have open ends to wrap over pressure points without closing off the tip. The one-size Digit Tubes (10855) can be trimmed to length for a custom fit across multiple toes.
