I have made an observation when taping feet and seeing athletes' injured feet - and this affects the way I tape. I like smooth. It reduces friction. Some tapes are smoother than others. Duct tape is smooth but does not breathe or conform to the curves of the foot. Elastikon is coarse as well as thick. Kinesio Tex, Leukotape and Endurotape are smooth. Allow me to paint you a picture of why tape smoothness matters. Picture the following: your skin's outer layer typically moves against the inner …
