Steins Hammer Toe Crest Cushion and Buttress Pad Reduces Pressure from Calluses and Hammer Toes, Medium Left, Beige, 3 Count

For the last 5 or 6 years I've had a painful situation where the toe next to my little toe curls under the middle toe and I've improvised prosthetics using foam toe separators and paper sports tape trying to get the toe to behave. I saw two different podiatrists and told them that if amputation of the last segment was the only solution I'd be ok with that and they recommended using toe separators like girls use when they paint their nails 'til they're dry. That worked as long as the separators were in place but I can't wear shoes with those in place. As a last resort I recently saw a different podiatrist who said that amputation was not warranted and he installed a unit very similar to this and I got immediate results and have been very happy with this simple fix. Here's some advice: 1. These are designed for 'custom fit' by adjusting the lace that goes over the top of the toe but with arthritis in my back, kness and hips it's very painful to adjust these each time so once I get the right spacing I commit it by taping down with sports paper tape. I've been using the same one for several weeks and just wipe it down with a moist cloth each night. 2. I tried to economize by buying the all-in-one-piece silicone ones but within minutes the strap was cutting off circulation in my toe...no way to adjust so just a waste of money. I'll keep buying these because they work so well.

Developing more foot pain after injury, these pads helped with the pain in the toes as I relearn to walk. Will never fully recover so buying more pads. Firm, well fit, well designed and so comfortable I forgot they were on.

Because it is so hard to write a review about these. I supposed the most important issue someone would want to know is that they do in fact work. I have hammer toe and when I wear these, it’s such a difference. A very good question would be why don’t I wear them all the time, and I just forget. However, I removed two stars for two reasons. The first problem is the rubber band that they use to keep the support attached to your toes is very thin so it’s very uncomfortable on your toes. If the rubber band was even twice as wide, it would be better, but I think they should make it considerably wider. The second problem is also related to the rubber bands, they fall off… But I suppose technically the supports fall off the rubber bands. Nevertheless, the two become detached one from the other. So after oh, maybe half a dozen uses, they are not usable anymore. This issue issue could be solved by the manufacturer, simply putting the word “Disposable“ somewhere on the packaging. All in all, these worked beautifully for a proof of concept undertaking. When my podiatrist suggested something like this, it seemed unlikely that they would help, but these did help, and they made a noticeable difference in the comfort of my walk.

Works well, easy to use, just make sure you don't pull strap too tight or it may leave toes swollen and sore. Washes well and not too thick. Works best with socks.

The standard solution for hammer-toe is a silicone ring that fits on the toe itself. It's hard to get one that fits snugly but is not too tight. This product has only a thin elastic strip that keeps it positioned properly. I found it comfortable and so far just as effective. You can't wear it in the shower, but otherwise it's distinctly better.

As many people who have tried different products, I was hopeful this would both work & be comfortable. As shown in the manufacturers pic, there is a skinny piece of well secured elastic that you pull to get the hammer toe down in proper place. 1. This SKINNY piece of elastic quickly cuts off circulation and leaves a deep indentation where it digs into the skin. 2. What they call "foam" is a very dense material that is hard and totally uncomfortable under the toes. I have a size 6 1/2 shoe and bought a small. 3. The hard dense foam shape of the product is made for the MIDDLE toe, according to the directions on the package. When used on the 2nd toe, it is even more uncomfortable. 4. The amazon site states it is machine washable. The package directions say to NOT immerse in water, and only "spot clean". All that being said, I took a scalpel and cut out some of the hard foam, but the skinny elastic holding my toes down (just a moderate hammer toe - not severe) still turned the tip of my toe purple. Truly a useless product.

My podiatrist recommended a cushion to use under my hammer toes - one on each foot. I’ve never used anything like this so it took a few times to get used to them, and I’m glad I stuck with them. They are comfortable with shoes, stay in place and keep my hammer toe from slipping under the toe next to it. Just wash them in a garment bag and they will last awhile. For me, they work.

I have a hammer toe on the third toe on both feet, and these little pads really help. I got them from a podiatrist initially, but it was more convenient and less expensive getting them from you! I wash them by hand at the end of the day so they're clean and fresh for the next day.

Perfect and works great

Me parecieron un poco (duros) nada flexibles y esto Me lastimó un poco
