Instructions for use of the
skewed atfoot corrective socks
How do I put the taping socks on correctly?
Please make sure you use the correct sock for the right and left foot.
The ‘Taping-Socks’ lettering must always be legible on the outer side
of the foot.
The taping bands are divided into two function areas:
the heel and the ball of the foot.
On the outer side, the rear band runs from the base of the Achilles
tendon, beneath the outer side of the ankle to the sole of the foot.
Its upper edge lightly touches the outer side of the ankle ➊. When
pulling the sock on, the band becomes slightly tensioned and thus
stabilises the heel in the right position. The front band runs from the
sole of the foot at a 45° angle to the ball area at the back of the foot.
The front edge sits behind the little toes ➋.
On the inner side, the band also runs from the base of the Achilles
tendon, beneath the inner side of the ankle towards the sole of the
foot. Here, too, its upper edge lightly touches the inner side of the
ankle ➌. The tension of the taping band stabilises the heel in its
correct position and the longitudinal arch is raised ➍. The front
band holds the rst metatarsal towards the ground ➎.
How do I check the positioning is correct?
The lower leg should be vertically aligned to the foot. The correct
positioning of the bands is determined using the ‘two nger tech-
nique’. For this purpose, the index nger and middle nger are placed
around the instep ➏. If the upper edge of the front band is in line
with the middle nger, it is correctly positioned ➐.
