VIVEsole Toe Splint [4 PCS] - Hammer Toe Straightener - Joint Realign Cushion Brace for Claw, Curled, Crooked Toe - Metatarsal Support Loop Guard Alignment Corrector Wrap for Tendon

My bunion has worsened over the years and caused a hammertoe. In fact if i don't wear these correctors my large toe actually crosses under the hammertoe. Most bunion correctors spread the toes which really hurts after a while and which tends to push the hammertoe up even more. I bought several different types of bunion correctors over these past two years and this is the only type that works for both. Not ideal perhaps but pulling the hammertoe down does keep the bunion from crossing underneath. I've tried gel and sock spreaders and they all hurt after a while. The splint type of corrector is really hard to position just right so doesn't help me I find. Putting on this type of corrector has become a natural part of my routine: on before socks in the morning. I do take it off at night because the elastic over the hammertoe has to be tight enough to keep the toe pulled down and at the end of the day i can see the ridge and am concerned that it might constrict blood flow a little. But i find now that my foot is uncomfortable at night without it on and i'm looking for something a bit gentler for overnight. I suspect that i'm going to end up giving my toes a breather in the evening and then donning this corrector again for overnight. I really am more comfortable now with the corrector on than without. I wear it for a couple of days and then throw it in the washer (cold or warm). Then i air dry. I can reuse multiple times. I only throw away if i find the elastic has become loosened and, instead of keeping my toe down, it relaxes and no longer pulls down. This corrector works underneath all types of shoes. With dress sandals I make a choice: wear it and see the corrector peeping around my toes just a bit, or leave it off and see my big toe and second toe all crossed over.

This toe splint is easy to use and more effective than other products I've tried. The pad helps with comfort because the pad allows a soft place for the toe to come down on. Hammer toe sufferers know that a good deal of the pain is in the end of the toe because the toe bends down needing a soft place for the end of the toe to seat on. This product has that, is easy to put on and you can set the tension on the toe. My order is my second because you'll need more than the pair that comes in one package. They do require washing and one pair might not be enough. Overall I'm very happy with these toe splints.

You can't wear comfortably this article with regular shoes. Tennis shoes work pretty well with it, but get uncomfortable after a few hours. I think it may work to straighten the hammer toe, but will take awhile longer in wearing it. Glad to get it and think it may actually work.

I had high hopes for this item after reading some of the reviews, especially the ones relating to "floating" toes. I tried this item on my floating toe. It was NOT comfortable but I figured I could wear it around the house, under my socks and maybe get some benefit from it. After 10 minutes, my foot was really beginning to feel uncomfortable and when I took off my sock, thinking I needed to adjust the aligner, I was shocked to see my second toe turning PURPLE. Scared the heck out of me. I ripped the item off my foot and quickly began massaging my toes. I cannot recommend this item at all, and I've tried every one out there that identifies with floating toes. Other than surgery, I'll just have to live with it and keep using the elastic bands that bind my big and second toe together. They work better than anything else I've tried and you can actually wear them with shoes.

strap does not fit over where my toe is bent too far back, too firm under ball of foot

I have used these for years for a hammertoe on my right foot. Without it, my choice of shoes would be extremely limited. Just be careful not to overtighten the elastic and replace it when the elastic stretches too much. I always have a supply on hand.

I see no point in creating anything like this because they are not comfortable and does not help the toe situation at all.

My son loves them

Loved this very much and extremely satisfied with my order. It surely does keep the toe straight.

I have bought this product twice now and it suits my needs very well

Fue un regalo para mi mamá ya que ella tiene un problema en el segundo dedo a lado del dedo gordo , ya que este se subía al dedo gordo y le lastima pero como se ve en la foto esto lo mantiene en su posición , los materiales es suave y en la parte de abajo está un poco más rígido y sobre el ajuste es muy bueno

The ViveSole Toe Splint is easy to wear but depending upon your frequeny of use, it may loose its rigidity quit fast.

Just what I needed
