Povihome 10 Pack Pinky Toe Separator and Protectors, Triple Gel Toe Separators for Overlapping Toe, Curled Pinky Toes Separate and Protect

Okay let me give you a little history. In 2020 I realized I had Morton's naroma and my left foot. The answer pretty much from the doctor was shots or surgery. Was surgery only being about a 70% success rate I wasn't up for that. And having had shots in my feet 20 years ago for plantar fasciitis, what a painful experience that was even though it corrected it. But I learned that shots for Morton's neuroma isn't all that long lasting so I decided to not do that. I searched for other options like wide toe box shoes, toe socks, and other items. Although they all worked to some degree nothing worked as good as this product has! First of all it's very very comfortable. I've never liked something on my feet all night long, and one day I woke up and realized I was still wearing the darn thing. Secondly I can wear this with my wide toe box shoes or my regular shoes and I still do not get the pain from Morton's neuroma. I just can't believe how wonderful these work! They're so soft they stay in place and they're very comfortable. I have some sort of obsession with things having to be perfect, and write all the time. And I am satisfied with this product. Normally I would keep searching and searching and searching till I find the perfect answer. Well, I found it. In some ways I want to say it has corrected the situation but the science says Morton's cannot be corrected without surgery. But there's definitely times where I don't put this on and just walk around in my socks and shoes and there is no pain. Why is that? I think this has something to do with this toe separator. In the past once I took off whatever I was using, toe socks, why toe shoes, and then went into regular shoes I would immediately feel the pain within probably the first hour. But I could go a whole day and so far not feel any pain. I just love these things! I've probably made between 2,000 to $2,500 purchases through Amazon in the past 20 years and this is in my top five! Highly recommend!

easy to put on, good quality, perfect cushioning but best of all, relief from the pain my second toe to my little toe which curls under my middle toe - have tried many different protectors and this is the best. The size is good and I have smaller toes but the silicone material would stretch for a larger toes. I wear thongs frequently and they stayed put (purchased the see through). Will purchase again.

These pinky toe spacers work well for open-toe shoes, when barefoot, or with socks on. They are soft and squishy, but it does have limited compression. I was able to wear more than 6 hours the first day without feeling pain. They are easy to use. I then used them in my hiking boots with socks on. That also worked as there was enough space in the toe box. Then I tried them in formal shoes. It was super tight. I backed off. I have been using them regularly for a week in flip-flops and Keen hiking sandals. I have noticed that the spacer at small toe seems to bulge and push out the little toe. Overall, the toe spacer does work as intended. It spans 3 toes. It might take time and practice to get used to it. It would be nicer if the end tail/flap was thinner, and the same applies spacer at small toe. The silicone material is easy to wash. I like having several so that I have a fresh set to use. I like the design but it could use some improvement. I will continue to wear this at home when I am able to use open-toe shoes. Good quality and durability. It is good value for a pack of 10.

the gel is not ventilated. So, the humidity causes itching around each toe. But, it does keep the space between my toes dry (the interdigital space)

I bought these to help with nerve pain similar to a mortons neuroma, and they have been amazing! The little bit of extra spacing they provide has made an unbelievable difference and I have been able to walk longer without pain than I have in a long time. They are light, comfortable and easy to wear, and with a wider toe box shoe I don’t even notice them. If you have compressed nerve pain that shoots through your 3rd & 4th toe, I recommend giving them a try. If they work out for you then it’s an inexpensive, easy, non-medication, non-surgical solution. I am so glad to have tried them!

Great fits well and relieves the killer corn on the side of the pinky metatarsal head very well

My pinky toes curl inwards, and blister if I spend a long time on the treadmill. These spreaders help A LOT. I tried some of the "single toe" spreaders - those shift and twist inside my socks and running shoes, and make the problem even worse, causing blisters and tearing skin. Properly used, these three toe spreaders remain straight and are very comfortable. Ten miles yesterday! The best way to put the toe spreaders on (takes less than two minutes): 1) Slide the spreaders onto your bare toes a little bit at a time, toe by toe, then smooth them out. 2) Roll up your socks INSIDE OUT so that only a couple of inches of toe are inside-in outside out. 3) Use your fingers to guide the open sock over your toes WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SPREADER, so that it remains in place, undisturbed. 4) When you release the sock, it should gently hold the undisturbed spreader in place without shifting it. 5) Probe with your fingers, wiggle your toes - the spreader should "stick like paint" and conform to your skin. If it isn't absolutely smooth, start over. 6) Gently roll your socks up over your feet; feel again, make sure the spreader hasn't shifted. 7) When you put on your shoes, stretch those open with your fingers as well. 8) Run for a long time. Notice that your feet don't hurt like they did without spreaders, or bad ones. 9) When you are done, take off your shoes and feel around the spreaders with the socks still on. 10) Roll off your socks, inside out, heel to toe. If you put them on correctly, the spreaders should still be straight. Your toes will probably be extra pink, but not red or blistered. Tomorrow, I will try using these spreaders with hiking boots for a 5 mile hike on a muddy trail, perhaps with doubled socks. If they work for that as well, I will be one very happy camper! ------- Added note: Over the last six months, I've walked more than 500 miles with these spreaders. Two pair are still in the bag, the other three pair are slightly dingy looking but still working great, no tears or holes. I will purchase another five pair bag to make sure I have a lifetime supply. Best wishes to Povihome; please continue making a great product, and please continue selling to the USA!
