ZenToes Hammer Toe Straightener and Corrector 4 Pack Soft Gel Crests Splints | Reduce Foot Pain, Prevent Overlap | Flexible Footcare Treatment | Stain, Odor Resistant (White)

It gets sticky after the first use

I have nerve paralysis in my lower right leg that results in dropfoot and severe hammertoes. I can only stand for about 10 minutes before I have severe pain in the ends of my toes where they hit the floor. My neurologist said I needed to have surgery to fuse my toe joints. I’ve been under the knife too much recently and dont want to be disabled while I heal. These gently straighten my toes and provide cushioning in my forefoot. I can stand and walk for 3-4 hours at a time and feel great. I also have been using them on my other foot, which has less severe hammertoes. They up the comfort there, but I haven’t seen much effect on actual straightening They do spread out your toes, so some shoes don’t fit right. I’ve trimmed off one or more toe loops and cut away some of the padding on one pair to get the fit more comfortable. They are squishy enough that you dont need perfect cuts. On my nerve injured foot, I do tape the little toe to make it possible to put my shoes on They are remarkably durable. I’ve has a pair that I’ve worn almost every day for 6 months. And they clean easily and don’t develop any odor. Which is more than I can say for my orthotics They claim that you can wear them barefoot. I wish I could, but my sliding dropfoot gait causes them to stick/catch on hardwood floors which is a bit dangerous for me Highly recommended for comfort, the jury is still out on whether they will correct (old man) hammertoes

El material es suave y se adapta bien al pie ayuda mucho para mantener los dedos alineados

They feel nice!

UPDATE: I wrote this review a few months ago. I wanted to hive you an updated review. I no longer have to have hammertoe surgery because this product has stopped all my pain. I still have a hammer toe on my right foot, but when I wear this device I no longer have any pain. I wanted to let you know that one day I lost it and found it in my dryer. I found that the material that it's made out of stretches out and doesn't feel as comfortable on my foot. What I found out was that when it went through the dryer that the rubber went back to the original shape. The material that it's made out of will pull out of shape after about a month and the device will slip on my foot. So after it went through the dryer I found that the heat put it back in its original shape. So what I do is every night when I take it off I put it under the hottest water that I can have and I find that the device goes back into its original shape. I put it under the water for about 5 minutes. This is very important because if you follow my directions you can buy one package and it can last you a long time. Before it went in the dryer I found that I was having to replace it once every month. Now that I put it under the hot water the rubber will shrink back into the original shape. But if you don't want to run it under hot water every night to get it to go back into its original shape you will have to use another one every month because it only lasts for about 30 days if you don't put it under the hot water.**** If you want to stop your hammer toe pain, you need to buy this now! I'm going to have hammer toe surgery at the end of July and I'm so thankful to have this. As soon as I slipped it on my right foot I no longer had any hammer toe pain! It doesn't slip at all and I can fit my foot in my shoe easily. It feels so comfortable on my foot.

This works pretty well. The toe bands need to be a little wider.
