Shop podiatrist-selected corn pads, toe protectors, gel sleeves, forefoot cushions and hard-skin care accessories. Compare options to help cushion sensitive areas, reduce rubbing and manage hard skin on feet.
Choose according to where you need protection, the space inside your shoes and the product’s fitting instructions. Protective padding cushions the area; it does not remove a corn or address every cause of pressure.

Choosing Corn Pads and Callus Care Products
The right product depends on where the skin is being irritated and whether you need cushioning, protection from rubbing or help managing surface hard skin.
Corn pads provide cushioning around a small, sensitive area. Check the pad’s shape, size and placement instructions before use.
A toe cap covers the end of a toe, while a sleeve or tube cushions a section of the toe. These can be useful where footwear or neighbouring toes rub against sensitive skin.
Our range includes gel caps and cut-to-length gel tubing. Check the diameter and fitting instructions: a protector should sit comfortably without squeezing the toe or making your shoe too tight.
Foam tubing provides a soft layer around a toe and can be cut to the required length where the product instructions allow.
A toe separator sits between neighbouring toes. Consider this type of product when the rubbing occurs between toes, rather than over the tip or top of a toe. There must be enough room inside the shoe for the separator.
Ball-of-foot cushions cover a broader area beneath the forefoot. They differ from small corn pads and may suit shoppers looking for cushioning beneath the ball of the foot.
Check the cushion’s coverage, thickness and fastening style. Extra padding should not crowd the foot inside the shoe.
Podiatry felt sheets can be cut into customised shapes for cushioning and pressure redistribution. Thickness and placement matter, particularly inside close-fitting footwear.
If you are unsure how to shape or position felt around a painful area, ask your podiatrist for guidance.
The Foot Dresser Paddle and Fiume Chiropody Sponge are options for managing surface hard skin, following their individual instructions.
These accessories serve a different purpose from protective pads and sleeves. Do not use them to dig out a corn or work on broken, bleeding or irritated skin.
Leave enough space for both your foot and any padding. A thick cushion inside a tight shoe can increase crowding rather than improve comfort.
Check your skin during use and stop using a product if it causes irritation, numbness or increased discomfort.
