- Pro Synthetic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10” Precut Strip

Use for taping my feet to avoid blisters when ski touring. Works great every time. Can be tough to pull off but if you soak it first it comes off no issues. Super comfortable and high quality. Sticks great and doesn't come off in my ski boots.

OK, I am going to preface this first by saying that you probably should not run on serious injuries and always listen to your body, be conservative. With that said I did train and run a marathon with a bit of shin splints (still being conservative for my experience in running). I used the KT tape on my shins and it relieved the pain! you also should look up YouTube videos how to properly apply the tape, and once you do, this stuff is incredible and I do believe actually works. Essentially it is lifting the skin barrier to allow more blood flow to the site. I don’t think it lasts the 3 to 5 days that it says, especially if you are being active, taking showers or it is rubbing against socks or something like that. I changed the tape probably every other day, which I am fine with given how well it works. It’s not going to heal your injuries, but I do believe it makes it manageable! I am a KT tape user for life!

A great product. Off brands are not good!!! Use directions. This stays on better than cotton when sweating. It’s really helped with my knee if used properly. I told a friend about it and she said it’s a miracle.

I'm left handed and I've torn my left rotator twice, along with my bicep. To get added support, I bought the KT tape. My thoughts were that with Kerri Walsh being a sponsor, it must be good stuff and I'm not overjoyed with it. I had a hard time with this and wasted 5 of the 20 strips trying to get it to stick. To place it for rotator support, it's very difficult to place yourself and the tape has a tendency to "slingshot" back when trying to apply it. It sticks to itself great but it didn't stick well to my skin. Because I paid $15 for the roll, I'll use what I have left, as best I can but I won't rebuy this brand. ** UPDATE 10-08-2017 ** KT immediately contacted me after my review was published and as you can see from their response, offered tips and tricks. Additionally, they offered to replace the roll at no charge. I gladly took them up on this offer and they shipped the replacement roll, free of charge, immediately. The tips and tricks did help but I still have trouble getting this on myself (because of my injury location), but it's no fault of KT. My suggestion to you is that if you have a rotator cuff injury that you're trying to support, have someone else put the tape on for you. The instructions inside the package will also give you a picture of how to apply it correctly for that particular injury location. ** Update 2 *** It will help you out tremendously if you buy some alcohol prep pads, which are very inexpensive. I've found that by wiping down the area with a prep pad and letting it dry, before I apply the KT tape, makes a huge difference. The tape seems to go on better and adhere to the skin better, in addition to easier removal when you're read to take it off. ** Update 3 ** I've updated my review to a 5 star rating. I don't know if KT has improved the adhesive on their product or if the big difference was made by me learning to apply it correctly. Whatever the situation, this stuff REALLY sticks. Before I apply it, I just pour some alcohol on a paper towel and wipe down the area thoroughly, before letting it dry or wiping it down with another paper towel. There's no danger of this stuff coming off and I'd suggest when you remove it, that you do so in the shower. If you pull it too quickly - like a band-aid, you're gonna pull skin. In my opinion, the precut strips are the way to go and here's a tip: When you start to put them on, peel the backing back only about one inch. This will allow you to get it started without it flopping back and sticking it on itself or on your hands and from there, just slowly remove the backing as you move along the area that you're applying it too. Once I've started it, I just hold the backing tape with my thumb and index finger and I'm moving it along my arm and shoulder. When you get the technique down, it's easy to apply yourself (unless you're putting it on your back). KT Tape has been a tremendous help to me. I've reordered three times and will continue to do so in the future.

I've tried several different kinesiology tapes, here are the results of my head-to-head comparisons... In order of stretchiness: KT Tape Pro: Super stretchy spandex-type material. Dries super fast. Breathes excellently even in multiple layers. KT Tape: High-elastic content cotton. Dries reasonably fast. Adequate breathability in multiple layers. Rocktape H2O: High-elastic content cotton. Dries reasonably fast. Adequate breathability in multiple layers. Rocktape: Moderate-elastic content cotton. Takes the longest to dry but that's still fast. Not very breathable, can feel slightly stifling in multiple layers. In order of stickiness: Rocktape H2O: Can be repositioned, and will stick just as well after repositioning. Sticks to tape well. Can be uncomfortable to remove. Rocktape: Can be repositioned, but loses some stickiness each time. Edges tend to peel up. Doesn't stick to tape very well. Okay removal. KT Tape Pro: Can be repositioned, but won't stick for more than a day if you do. Sticks to tape well. Easily removed. KT Tape: Cannot be repositioned, edges tend to peel. Sticks to tape adequately well. Seems more painful to remove than others. In order of longevity: Rocktape H2O: 3+ days. Stays put until you take it off. KT Tape Pro: 2-4 days. Once you get it stuck on, it stays. Less peeling than Rocktape. Rocktape: 2-4 days. Edges tend to peel up on day 2, so you've got to trim it down. KT Tape: 1 day. Edges and entire parts of strips peel up almost immediately. In order of support: Rocktape: Very stable support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a lightly structured brace. Useful for areas where you need a lot of stability like knees and ankles. Rocktape H2O: Stable support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a soft compression brace. Useful for areas where you need both stretch and support, better adhesion and superior stretch offers excellent 'massage' for sore muscles. KT Tape: Moderately stable support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a compression sleeve. KT Tape Pro: Light to moderate support. Multiple layers offer similar support to a soft compression sleeve. Useful for areas where you need flexibility first, particularly well-suited to wrists and fingers.

Easy to use, great support and holds comfortably for days.

Works great, stays on the entire time I need it.

I used it on my knees. It was great.

Last for 4-5 days, give bit support

La facilità di applicazione

I have been using many tapes, but this is the BEST I ever had, so its worth the higher price. If you tape it over a tape it still sticks, lasting for long and stays in tact during swimming or in the shower. Plus for some tapes I have allergy to the glue, with this I had no problem. Awesome product!
