Foot protection for Judo / BJJ?

Question

i have been doing judo, and every time I spar, my feet get all torn up with mat burn. It really hurts and takes FOREVER to heal. Is there anyway I can wrap my feet, or do something to help prevent this? Thank you.

Answer 1

whoa, wth kinda mats are you using? straw?

Answer 2

well, yes they will toughen up over time.

however, there is also a kind of foot wrapping you can wear that protects your feet but you will still basically be barefoot, called the hy-gen you could try those, they will protect your feet and keep your dojo cleaner. here's a link;
