* '''Micropore<ref> http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/tapes/product6.html Micropore at Zombie Runner</ref>''' This is my default tape, partly because I have been using Micropore from my earliest memories due to my skin condition. Micropore is very thin, smooth and inflexible, but not very sticky, so you need to use it with an adhesive promoter. The biggest problem with Micropore is that it is not very durable. I find it will last well enough for a race, but I like to tape a day or two ahead of time to make sure the tape is right, and it can suffer wear in the mean time.
* '''Duct Tape''' I do not get on well with recommend duct tape, as it is not breathable, so the skin tends to become saturated underneath. Like Just like Micropore, you need to use it with an adhesive promoterto get it to stick effectively. Watch the edges, as they tend to catch and then the tape then rolls up. I have used Micropore on the edges, with some success. * '''Leukotape P <ref> http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/tapes/product967.html Leukotape P at Zombie Runner</ref>''' This is thicker, slightly rough textured, inflexible tape. It works very well when you need something more robust than Micropore.* '''Elastikon<ref> http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/tapes/product1.html</ref>''' This tape is thicker than any of the others, slightly rough, but flexible and porous.
