Rick & Carl: The Founders
Foot Kinetics started with Rick & Carl, two mountaineers who could not find a blister prevention product that would last all day from a single application. They decided to create their own product to be as tough (and persistent) as they are.
From Trail to Tradition
Born out of real miles and real need, Foot Kinetics grew from a solution between friends into a brand built on experience. What began as a mountaineer’s necessity became a trusted staple for anyone determined to stay active without blister pain.
Sammie: Continuing the Legacy
Foot Kinetics is now run by Sammie, Rick’s daughter, who grew up hiking with Rick and Carl and testing early versions of the product on the trail. Carrying the brand forward is both a personal and professional mission, preserving the original commitment to toughness while continuing to refine and grow the company for the next generation of hikers, runners, and walkers.
Our Commitments
Commitment to Persistence
We believe protection should last as long as your adventure. Our formulas are designed to deliver all-day blister prevention with a single application. No constant reapplying, no mid-trail interruptions. When you move, your protection should move with you.
Commitment to Joy
Movement is freedom. Whether it’s reaching a summit, crossing a finish line, or walking with someone you love, staying blister-free means staying present. We’re here to help you focus on the experience — not your feet.
Commitment to Quality
Every product reflects our insistence on performance and reliability. From formulation to packaging, we focus on creating long-lasting blister prevention you can trust mile after mile.
Commitment to Durability
Our products were born on rugged terrain and built to endure heat, sweat, rain, and long miles. We don’t design for ideal conditions... we design for real ones. Tough trails demand tough protection.
Foot Kinetics remains dedicated to creating long-lasting blister prevention for hikers, runners, walkers, and anyone who refuses to let blisters slow them down. From mountain summits to finish lines to everyday miles, our mission is simple:
keep you on your feet, doing what you love!
