How to use Trampers Friend

A few seconds before you lace up can save your whole trip.

1

Basic use

Wrap a comfortable amount between your toes, put your socks and shoes on, and you're ready to go. Trampers Friend will compact down and adjust to the shape of your foot and shoe as you walk. It doesn't need to be tight — just comfortable.

2

Wrapping individual toes

If you need to wrap wool around particular toes, take a strand of hiker's wool, start in between a toe, and wrap it around that toe and the next one. Don't pull it tight; when you have a couple of layers, tuck the end in and gently put on your sock.

3

Hot spots & rubbing

If you notice any discomfort, rubbing or soreness, take enough Trampers Friend to cover the affected area to create a padding and reduce any further discomfort or irritation. If you haven't used enough, apply a bit more to make a thicker padding and walk a few steps — the wool will compact down and form to the shape of your foot.

4

Beyond your boots

Trampers Friend can also be used inside your gloves to keep your fingers warm, and to reduce chafing from backpack straps.
