You will need to cut the tape lengthwise to create 1 inch-wide strip. Round each of the corners for a better application than sit with the affected toe closest to you. Keep your ankle bent at about 90 degrees to you throughout the application.
Twist and tear the backing paper about an inch to create a base. Then remove the paper at the top of the base and apply to the top of the toe with no stretch.
Remove the backing paper until you have about an inch left to hold. Extend the toe, then stretch the tape to 50 percent. Now apply under the toe and along the arch of the foot. Remove the backing paper, and lay the tape down.
You can now repeat these steps to add coverage and support. Make sure to curve the strip and lay the end on the skin with no stretch. You can use KT tape to provide you with comfortable support, pain relief, and as a preventative measure when engaging in sports that put you at risk of turf toe.
