Why Foot Care Nurses Love Lamb’s Wool – And Your Feet Will Too!

At Perfect Strides Mobile Foot Care, we’re always looking for gentle, effective ways to bring relief and comfort to our clients’ feet. One natural product that consistently earns a gold star in our toolkit is lamb’s wool—and no, it’s not just for knitting sweaters!

So, what exactly is lamb’s wool, and why is it such a trusted go-to in foot care?

What Is Lamb’s Wool?

Lamb’s wool is soft, fluffy wool taken from the first shearing of a young sheep. Unlike synthetic padding, lamb’s wool is 100% natural, breathable, and hypoallergenic. It’s incredibly soft and molds easily to the shape of your toes and feet—making it ideal for reducing friction and pressure.

How Is It Used in Foot Care?

Lamb’s wool is often used by foot care nurses to:

🧦 Relieve Toe Pain – We gently place lamb’s wool between the toes to reduce rubbing and irritation, especially helpful for those suffering from corns, calluses, or hammer toes.

👣 Prevent Pressure Sores – It offers cushioning that reduces the risk of pressure ulcers in vulnerable areas.

🦶 Manage Overlapping Toes – For clients with overlapping or bent toes, lamb’s wool can create gentle separation, relieving pain and preventing skin breakdown.

🌬️ Promote Airflow – Because it’s breathable, it keeps the skin dry—an important benefit for clients managing moisture-related issues like athlete’s foot.

Who Benefits Most from Lamb’s Wool?

• Seniors with fragile skin

• People with diabetes or poor circulation

• Anyone prone to corns, bunions, or toe friction

• Long-distance walkers and those on their feet all day
