YOGAMEDIC Toe Separator - 4 Pieces, 2 Pairs, Transparent - Toe Spacers for Bunions & Bunion Corrector - Alignment Support & Flexible Silicone

This is pretty good. Somehow i missed the note that stated this is a two pack (knew this part) with two different models. This is pretty cool as it gives more flexibility for usage. First few days may be a bit uncomfortable on the equal distance spreading model, but after almost a week i think i prefer it (even though the other ones are initially more comfortable - the one with the biggest gap after big toe). Very easy to use and maintain. Good to use with shoes (obviously not with narrow shoes - but perfect in with wide toes section shoes like barefoot shoes). Works under socks well, or over finger socks as well. Easy to wash as well. Just take them to the shower and remove them there while washing your feet, wash the spreaders as well. After the shower, dry them up with the towel and on they go again. The pics give the impression they are harder, but the material is incredibly soft and comfy (again, first few days take it slow). The crew behind this is also nice to talk with. Ended up getting another set for the missus shortly after I got mine.

I have quite severe bunions, thankfully painless but I spend much of the year in open toed sandals so I’m pretty self conscious about my feet. I love the way these separators open up and realign the toe spaces. The silicon is soft, squidgy and very comfortable. I have been wearing them overnight with socks to keep them in place and I can feel the effect as the bones adjust. It’s like a slight ache, definitely not painful. They also work well in my hiking shoes. I would have liked to have given them 4 1/2 stars! Unfortunately the silicon that goes around the toes is very floppy and thin. I have a little difficulty in bending, so this could be down to me but I struggle to wrap the separators around my 4th and 5th toes. And because the material is so thin I am nervous of tearing it or using some kind of tool. The free ebook is excellent with lots of information and exercises. There is currently a special offer which I applied for and the young company is super friendly and helpful. Even if the separators break, I would still recommend them.

I have a bunion on my right foot after years of wearing narrow toe box Nike/Addias trainers and walking 14,000 steps per day. I have found these toe spacers surprisingly comfortable. I am used to wear single big toe spacers for a month. In my first attempt, i wore the thin pair for 4 hours and thick pair for 30 minutes with no discomfort. I wear them bare foot with socks at home, walking around and doing short foot, heel raise and tibialis posterior strengthening exercises with thera bands. I have tried to wear them with Hoka Gaviota 5 with wide toe box and i have no issue with the pinky toe rubbing against the toe box. If i dont wear the toe spacers doing the intrinic muscle strengthing exercises, my toes would move in deformed positions with the big toe squashed togethor next to 2nd toe. With the toe spacers i can do squats or single leg stand with perfect toe splay, weight evenly distributed across the "tripod" of my foot. I will try to walk around at homw bare foot with these as often as possible when i work from home and over weekend.

I have the beginning of bunions, and when balancing on my left leg, I can wobble due to the imbalance. Wearing these helps me splay my toes and thus stand without wavering.

I suffer from claw foot in my right foot (toes curl downwards instead of being straight) and hoped these might help me straighten my toes out to normal. When they arrived I was disappointed, they were so soft and floppy I didn't think they would do anything, but I have been wearing them during the day and I no logger stand on my toes accidentally. I've been waring them for a week now and I can already tell my toes are straightening out. They are very comfortable and I am often not even aware I am wearing them. This is a big plus especially since I only wear it on my right foot and not the left and it would drive me insane if it felt like toes on one foot were positioned differently than on the other. The only downsides I have discovered so far is that small tears will appear in the product. They are very small and it hasn't really affected anything, not yet anyway. They also pick up dirt like crazy, but fortunately they are very easy to wash. Just running them under the tap will clean them. Overal very happy with these. If they fail I will update, but doesn't look like they will.

These are really poorly made and aren't foot shape, and not fit for purpose. These are way too small and way to small for bunions. They only last a handful of wears (5 or 6 if I was lucky and I put a lot of care in putting them on and looking after them), & don't last long at all. The section between the big toe and the next toe is way too small to correct the alignment of a bunioned big toe. They actually kept my big toe in a bunion position instead of improving it. The silicone is way too fragile too and breaks very easy/quickly. Waist of money and not great for the environment at all. For something like this to be beneficial they need to be made out of stronger/long lasting silicone, with different sizing that's so much bigger than these, so the big toe is in proper alignment when worn and moving around. Different sizes of these are needed for different size bunions and different sized feet as one size doesn't fit all like shoes and socks. different sizes are needed for women's (going up to a size 9 UK/43 European women have size 9 feet) and men's feet too. Waist of time otherwise and for me they feel like they cause more harm than good. Way Too Small, Don't Realign Bunions, Break Easy & Don't Last Long

I guess these appliances are for easing pressure on bunions. Probably do that job well. I bought them hoping to ease the pain of Morton's Neuroma, hammer toes and preventing toes from crossing. I found them to be unsuitable for toe joint problems. Instead of 3 pairs, I received 4 x right foot singles and 2 left foot singles. i.e only 2 usable pairs. I had already started using them before I discovered this, so if you do buy, check what you receive immediately and before use. As other reviewers have remarked, there is only cover for 4 of your toes - nothing for you little toe. Only 3 of the 4 toes have substantial cover, so you only have effective separation for your big toe, second toe and, to a much lesser extent, your middle toe. The silicone is soft and pliable, so very easy to use if you follow instructions about using both hands, however, because of the softness, they are ineffective at straightening and flattening toes that are starting to form the hammer shape. I afterwards bought single toe separators. These are fiddly to apply, but do a better job for your whole foot (not bunions) I tried using a couple of singles with these appliances as well, but it was too bulky and painful. Good luck.

THey work but kinda hurt after a while
