Product Overview

The XD 1900 gsm wool pad wraps around the ankle and heel for gentle support, cushioning and airflow, allowing the rest of the foot to move freely. Wool takes up to 30% of its weight in water vapour without feeling moist. The air trapped between the wool fibres allows heat and moisture to dissipate which minimises skin damage and ulceration.

The seams are positioned on the exterior of the protectors to avoid irritation to areas of skin at risk of damage. Easy-to-use hook and loop straps give plenty of room for adjustment. Shear Comfort is warranted to withstand 50 washes at up to 80 degrees Celsius for bacteria eradication. Choose the desired size from the drop down menu when making an enquiry to purchase.
