In development · Shift work
Twelve hours in closed shoes. Then the drive home.
A foot kit for nurses, caregivers and anyone on long shifts in closed shoes: a night-time foot antiperspirant, a clog refresher spray and merino socks for the mid-shift change.
We've worked out the fix. We'll make it if enough people want it.
Goal: 300 backers to start production

Why the usual fixes fall short
Close, but not quite.
- Most solutions are single products you combine yourself
- Tips get passed around, but nobody puts them in one kit
- Little is designed around shift work
What we're working on
Long-Shift Foot Kit
One small locker kit: a night-time foot antiperspirant, a clog and shoe refresher spray, and merino socks for the mid-shift change.
Expected around US$29 per kit. Founding backers pay less.
What you'd get
- A night-time foot antiperspirant, a shoe and clog refresher spray, and merino socks
- Roll the antiperspirant on the night before a shift
- Spray your shoes when you take them off, and swap socks halfway through
- Small enough to live in your locker
Long-Shift Foot Kit is a working name. The details may change as we develop it, and we'll only make it if enough people back it.
Our standards for it
- We plan to work with a certified manufacturer, and we'll share details before launch
- Merino socks from a maker we'll name before launch
- Tested before anything ships
- No “stops sweat” claims until testing backs them up
Help shape it
Three quick questions. All optional.
Your answers decide what goes in, and what it costs. Skip anything you like.
Thank you. That genuinely helps us decide what to make.
Questions
Before you back it.
Am I charged anything?
No. Backing an idea is free, and we never ask for card details on this page. If it goes ahead, it's up to you whether you buy.
When would it ship?
Only if we reach 300 backers. If we do, we'll email backers with timing before anything goes on sale. If we don't, we won't make it.
Where will it be made?
By a certified manufacturer. We'll share who makes it, and where, before launch.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and backing doesn't commit you to buying anything.
Why back it now?
Founding backers get first access at the lowest price we'll offer, and your answers help decide what goes in it and what it costs.
