Football care: straps, bands and ice

What can you find in the Foot-Store care selection?

This page brings together the equipment used to prepare a player before exertion, limit minor accidents during the match, and assist with recovery once the session is over. You'll find straps, wraps and elastic bands, cold therapies and ice packs, massage rollers and devices, as well as more general care products like arnica balms and sprays. The brands featured cover both caregiver equipment (Tremblay CT, PowerCare, Prestoglas, Powershot) and products designed for individual training (Select, Bliss, Sporti, Uhlsport).

Strap, wrap or cold pack: which product for which use?

The choice mainly depends on when you plan to use it. A strap or compression wrap is applied before exertion to support a vulnerable joint or prevent known discomfort. A cold pack or freezing spray is used hot, right after an impact or twist, to limit inflammation. Massage rollers and devices are mainly used at the end of a session or after exertion, to relax the stressed muscles. Resistance elastic bands are primarily for warm-up or guided strength training.

Balls, luggage, protection: other pages to equip your club

Care equipment is often complemented by other gear available on the site, which you can view separately:

• The balls, for training as well as matches.
• The football luggage, for transporting the team's gear or the care equipment itself.
• The protective gear, to enhance care with preventive equipment worn during play.
• The accessories, for everything related to daily training.
• The club space, designed for group orders and equipping a full team.

You can also return to the Equipment page to see all the available categories.

When to watch for good deals on care equipment?

Care equipment is part of the gear that regularly features in the site's sales events. The Black Friday and the end-of-year holidays are often a good time to refresh stocks of straps, wraps and cold packs before winter. The winter sales, followed by the French Days in spring, are other times to keep an eye on if you want to complete your care bag without delay. For this, you can check the pages Sales, Clearance, Good Deals and Black Friday, which gather ongoing offers from all categories. If you're looking for a specific item quickly, the page Shipped in 24h might also help you find what's selling fast.

How to equip a club rather than just an individual player?

A player who equips themselves individually usually looks for a strap, mouthguard or a small cold pack to keep in their bag. A club or educator has different needs: wraps in larger quantities, shared massage devices, fully stocked caregiver bags to cover multiple players during a match or tournament. In this case, the club space brings together the formats and packaging designed for group orders, which should be checked alongside this page.

Frequently asked questions

Where to find cheap straps or compression bands?

The prices of straps and wraps vary depending on the brand and packaging (individual, bulk or club format). To find current offers on these types of products, the Good Deals and Sales pages are the most reliable, as they are updated with ongoing sales events.

What's the difference between a cold spray and an ice pack?

The cold spray can be used within seconds, directly on the affected area, making it convenient on the sidelines. The ice pack, whether instant or reusable, keeps the cold longer and is better suited for extended treatment after the session.

Does a massage roller replace a massage device?

No, both serve different needs. The massage roller is used independently to relax muscles before or after exertion, while a massage device often offers multiple intensities or functions and is suitable for more regular or shared use within a group.

Is care equipment different for children?

Some products come in adapted versions, like children’s mouthguards, designed for smaller jaw sizes. For the rest of the care equipment (wraps, straps, cold packs), the same references generally work for players of all ages.

When should you look at clearance rather than new items?

Clearance is suitable if you are looking for basic care equipment without specific expectations about the exact reference, for instance, to complete a club's caregiver bag. The New Arrivals section is more suitable if you want to discover the latest references added to the catalog, especially in cold care or kinesiology wraps.
