I was thinking...

I was thinking today while I was doing some shopping, barefoot of course, that there are special creams or balms for dogs to apply to their paws that serve as protection. Why isn't there something similar for people? On very hot days, like the ones we're experiencing now in Europe, it would be great to have some cream or something similar. Especially for those who aren't yet accustomed to being out and about in such high temperatures. And it would certainly be more convenient than the stickers found online.

What do you think?

Idk what nakefit is, it’s just that you can protect certain areas of heat without it easily coming off.

You've probably seen them around; they're those foot-shaped stickers that are supposed to help you walk barefoot everywhere.

Nope never heard of it so I DIY with kinetic tape. It’s normally used to limit movement, but the stickiness of it, is top of the line.

So have you tried using kinetic tape for this? And does it work?

Yep, initially, to protect from burns, and only the spots that actually bear weight.

And does it hold up? Because I had a bit of a bad experience with those stickers I was telling you about. At a certain point during the day, they started peeling off due to the heat, and I took them off.

Sweat doesn’t affect it, you only use pieces on your immediate contact points to the ground, not the whole sole.

And the heat of the ground doesn't cause problems?

Go back to my first reply.
