How to maintain the protectors?
The ski ankle protectors are hand washable (without rubbing) with water and soap. Let them air dry naturally. Dispose of and replace the device as soon as cracks appear in the gel or the fabric degrades.

Why do some shoes cause pain in the ankle bones?
Ankle pain often occurs in high-top shoes with a rigid outer shell (ski boots, rollerblades, skates, etc.). This type of footwear can cause painful pressure against the bony prominences on the sides and top of the ankle (ankle bones, navicular), especially if the bindings are too tight or if the shoe size is too small or too large.

How many times can the ski ankle protectors be washed and reused?
Silicone ankle protectors can withstand about thirty washes without their properties being altered. It is recommended to wash them after each use to maintain their self-adhesive properties by removing any dust and impurities. By cleaning their surface, you restore their initial sticky properties.

Can sports ankle protectors cause allergies?
Gels used directly on the skin must be fully biocompatible. EPITACT® gels are medical grade to minimize the risk of skin intolerance. Furthermore, ski ankle protectors are made of silicone, and allergies to this material are extremely rare.
