FAQ: What is spatting tape used for?

Spatting refers to applying tape over the top of athletic footwear - particularly lace-up ankle boots in football, rugby and similar sports. Spatting secures the boot more firmly to the ankle and foot, provides an additional layer of external ankle support, and prevents the boot from being dislodged during play. It is a standard technique in athletic training rooms for contact sports players.

FAQ: Is Mueller Lightweight Spatting Tape the same as rigid strapping tape?

No - lightweight spatting tape is more flexible and less rigid than traditional zinc oxide strapping tape. It conforms more comfortably to the foot and boot without the stiffness of rigid tape. For maximum ankle stabilisation in injury rehabilitation, rigid strapping tape or a lace-up ankle brace provides more support. Lightweight tape is better suited to maintenance spatting for healthy athletes wanting additional boot security.
