It started as a way to keep crumb rubber^, from artificial playing fields, out of an athlete’s shoes and socks. It quickly became favored by athletes who want the “look of tape”, and by trainers who no longer have the time to “tape for show”. The Debris Inhibitor ® is light weight, durable, machine washable, moisture wicking, and it keeps shoe laces tied.
