The JCalicu foot protectors have been designed with an open heel and ball of foot style that allows excellent freedom of movement. This style allows the foot to be able to grip on the mats whilst competing or during training. Created by JCalicu, the Instep Protectors use shock absorbing PU covered EVA foam and strong elastic with Velcro fastenings to give a high level of protection for the foot and instep area during taekwondo sparring and competition.
