FAQ

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HikeGoo, RunGoo, and WalkGOo?
TUBES:

HikeGoo is our longest-lasting formula, designed for extended, rugged activity. It contains a high concentration of hard waxes to stay put all day.

RunGoo offers similar durability but includes slightly more soft waxes and oils. The difference between RunGoo and HikeGoo is almost imperceptible.

WalkGoo is our most moisturizing formula, with the highest level of soft waxes and oils. It’s ideal for daily foot care and everyday activity.

JARS:

HikeGoo and RunGoo now use the same long-lasting formula. We discovered that runners needed the same durability as hikers, so we unified both into one high-performance formula designed for all-day protection.
How do I apply the goos?

Apply a thick layer directly to blister-prone areas of your feet (heels, between toes, toe sides, or all over). Do not rub it in. You want a visible layer to act as a friction barrier.

Gently roll or pull your socks on to keep the Goo in place.

If you get any on your hands, use the inside of your clean sock to wipe it off.

Apply once before your activity. One application will last all day, no need to reapply!

Note: HikeGoo and RunGoo are slippery without socks.
Can I Use the Goos on an Existing Blister?

Yes, as long as the blister hasn't popped. Our Goos are designed to prevent blisters, not treat them. However, applying them over an unpopped blister can help reduce further friction, which may keep it from worsening while you continue your activity. Our Goos are to be used on closed skin, not open wounds. 
Can I Use the Goos on Areas Other Than my Feet?

Yes! Our Goos can be used on any area of closed, healthy skin where you experience friction, chafing, hot spots, or blisters.

Common use areas include undercarriage (for bikers), thighs, under sports bras, around heart rate monitors, under backpack straps, and even sensitive areas like nipples.

Just keep in mind, our formulas are slippery without clothing or socks, so we don’t recommend using them on your hands unless you specifically want that slick feel. (That said, some customers do use HikeGoo on their hands for paddling.)
Are the goos fragrance-free?

YES, all of our products are fragrance-free.
