About MILEPROOF

Most races are not lost in the legs. They are lost to a heel blister at mile 18, a raw chest at mile 22, a burning thigh, a torn palm on the sled. MILEPROOF exists to take those problems off the table so the only thing left to think about is the race.

Who we are

MILEPROOF was started by endurance athletes who run trails and roads, ride, and race, and who also work in medical device manufacturing. We kept carrying the same mix of tape, bandages and borrowed balm in our race bags, none of it made for sport. So we set out to make protection designed around the sports we do, made by manufacturers that also produce medical devices.

MILEPROOF is a brand of Whisper Soft Inc., a Texas company based in Austin. We launch in January 2027 on Amazon and TikTok Shop.

What we make

We focus on three moments: the training block, race day and after the finish. Our first products cover blisters, chafing, nipple protection, nasal breathing, hand protection and recovery care for scrapes and scars. We organize them by sport so a marathoner sees what a marathoner needs and a fitness racer sees what a fitness racer needs.

How we make products

• Our products are made by manufacturers that also produce medical devices. Products regulated as medical devices are made by FDA-registered manufacturers. FDA registration does not mean FDA approval.
• We describe what a product physically does. We don't claim our products treat, cure or prevent any disease.
• Our sport nasal strips are external nasal dilators for use during exercise. They are not intended to treat snoring or sleep apnea, and we say so on every pack.

Every product must pass our quality standards before we sell it.

How we write our guides

Our guides are written by the MILEPROOF team to help athletes make decisions, whether or not they buy from us.

• Sources first. Factual claims are backed by peer-reviewed research or guidance from medical organizations, listed at the end of each guide.
• Honest about evidence. When research is mixed (nasal strips and performance, for example), we say so.
• Kept current. Each guide shows when it was last updated, and we revise guides when better evidence appears.
• Not medical advice. Guides are general information. See a clinician for wounds that are deep, infected or not healing, and for any medical condition.
• Honest reviews and endorsements. We never publish invented testimonials or buy reviews. Creators we pay or send free products to must clearly disclose that relationship.
• We sell what we mention. Guides are written by MILEPROOF and may mention our products. Guides are not reviewed by a clinician unless stated.
