Why a foot care kit is essential
In all sports and outdoor activities — running, trail running, hiking, cycling, skiing, walking — your feet are subjected to numerous stresses: repeated friction, impact, moisture, new or stiff shoes, long hours on your feet. These stresses can cause blisters, black toenails, irritation, friction, pain in the toes or heels, discomfort or even having to abandon your outing. A complete care kit allows you to anticipate these problems and offers optimised protection, comfort and recovery — so that your activity or outing remains an enjoyable experience, without pain for your feet.
The kit is a practical and compact solution to ‘be prepared for anything’ — ideal for long outings, outdoor weekends, travelling, or simply for peace of mind.
What the Sidas Footcare Kit offers — protection, prevention, comfort
The kit combines several complementary items to cover a range of needs:
- Prevention of blisters and irritation — Thanks to an anti-friction cream, sensitive areas (heel, toes, sides of the foot) are protected before exercise, reducing the risk of blisters, redness or friction.
-
Protection for toes and heels — The Gel Toe Cap, Toe Wrap and various pads included in the kit protect the toes, metatarsals and heels from impact and pressure, especially when wearing tight or stiff shoes.
-
Relief from pressure points and impact— Foot Protectors provide extra cushioning, distribute pressure under the foot and reduce impact—very useful when hiking, running, walking or skiing for long periods of time.
-
Recovery and aftercare — The Recovery Cryo Gel in the kit helps soothe feet and joints after exercise, reducing fatigue and inflammation — a good complement to cushioning and protection.
-
Versatility & portability — Compact and lightweight, the kit fits easily into a rucksack, ski bag or trail bag — handy when travelling, on holiday or for unexpected outings.
Who is the Footcare Kit for?
- Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts (running, trail running, hiking, cycling, skiing, walking) who go on multiple outings or cover long distances.
- People with sensitive feet: prone to blisters, rubbing, black toenails, painful spots, irritation, or wearing stiff/tight shoes.
- Travellers, hikers and trekkers, for whom a small emergency kit (protection + care + recovery) can make all the difference over several days.
- Those who want to protect, prevent and prolong comfort — without relying solely on socks, insoles or shoes.
- Those looking for a complete, practical and versatile care solution: a single kit rather than several separate products.
Best practices & tips for use
- Use anti-friction cream before exercise—on areas prone to friction (heel, metatarsal, toes) to limit the risk of blisters from the outset.
- Place protective pads, caps and cushions before putting on your shoes—to ensure a good fit and prevent internal slippage or poor positioning.
- Don't wait until you feel pain to take action—anticipate during long outings, with new shoes or in demanding conditions: prevention is more effective than cure.
- Use the recovery gel after exercise/outings—to relieve and reduce fatigue and aid recovery, especially after long walks, runs, hikes or skiing.
- Keep the kit in your bag, ready to use—in a rucksack, ski bag or travel bag—so you're prepared in case of unexpected needs or extended activity.
