Sole-Guard™ is the first product of its kind to offer fast and effective protection and support for the unshod foot. Simply fill the bottom of the foot with Sole-Guard creating a protective coating that bonds to the foot for three weeks. Sole-Guard sets firm to protect the unshod foot, but retains flexibility to move naturally with the foot, providing comfort and support. Sole-Guard provides complete protection and support in on easy application. Contact your dealer or Vettec today to see how Sole-Guard can work for you.
