# Unfortunately not, I was looking for some duct tape today to cling film up some doors with.
But alas, I am tapeless.

I'd also rather not tape up my feet, they're a little hairy and I'd rather not have a rudimentary wax job.

# the tape is 98% on the sole. unless you're a hobbit, you'll be fine.

# Bargain.
It's mainly on the toes and top bit thingy above the arch, but I'd rather not lose hair due to tapings at all if possible. Just out of curiosity, what exactly was the tape meant to do? I've never heard of it (not that I've ever read into it) but I'm wondering what kind of good it could be doing to have taped feets.

# my arches are falling.
i may have to get orthotics, but physio guy first taped my feet tightly - a good taping can force your feet to arch properly. i do exercises now to strengthen those muscles, may not have to buy the orthotics. i was seeing him for knee/leg/back pain and he discovered the arch stuff.

i'm hairy too - at one point he had to tape my knee. he was very apologetic about it (he's hairy as well), and when he removed it for me i asked him to just rip it off all at once, quickly. it wasn't bad.

# Fair enough.
I'm not sure about my arches, I think they're a bit low, but not falling. I didn't realise they could, sounds a bit evil.

And yeah, fast ripping is usually better anyway.

# it's not that uncommon, i hear.
catching it before you get flat feet is important.
