Dr. JK- ToePal Gel Toe Separator, 1 Pair, Clear, Hammer Toe Straightener for Women and Men, Bunion Corrector, Mothers Day Gift

These work well. I bought these to straighten my second toes to my big toes. They bend inward when I walk and it has begun to cause pain in a pair of shoes that I wear to work. These straighteners correct the positions of my toes and help to prevent my second toes from turning inward. Due to their restricting my toes from bending the way they want to, these can feel uncomfortable, and even hurt a bit, but that is only because they are doing their job. The instructions suggest to start by wearing the straighteners only an hour at a time. I will like to confirm that is a good suggestion. I can only stand to wear them for about three hours when I’m on my feet. Although, I prefer to keep pain to a minimum and wear these for one to two hours at a time. I haven’t had these for a long time yet and I don’t wear them every day, but in time I think I will increase to every day for two to three hours a day. I really like these. They are perfectly comfortable outside of the pained toes that are not wanting to be corrected. The other thing I’d add is that I tried to sleep with these on my toes, but the silicone material sticks to the bed sheets making it difficult to move around.

Omg, these are EXACTLY what I need. After looking at many different brands, I chose these because they have a longer, rather than short, separator between the toes. These seem to be the only ones made this way. And, yes, it has made a difference. It is loosening the fascia in my toes/feet - I can feel it after I take them off - my toes and feet feel open, relaxed, longer. It's only been a week, but I expect over time, they will begin to straighten. And, I will have some manual therapy on them. That being said, they can be challenging to wear - in a good way. This is true because a set I bought for my husband from Dr. JK is perfect for his yoga toes, but too soft for me. Because of that, this set is working deeper because they are not as soft. After awhile my feet can get achy, or with shoes that are more narrow. Of course, then it's time to take them off. The only missing thing is the pinky toe. On the next round of design, this should be added. Since this is a process, you can't go wrong with using this set.

I have purchased many toe separator/hammertoe devices. Most are not wide enough across the toes or are not strong enough to effect any change. Many are painful, make my toes numb, etc. The ToePals are by far the most effective of all the items I’ve purchased. They are flexible, have a distinct divider between the toes, stay in place, and are strong enough and wide enough to push down the hammertoes. I can wear them for hours without pain. I bought this pair as a backup for the ones I bought last year. They’re too bulky to wear in shoes - for me anyway - but I wear them around the house, could probably sleep in them. The toes do get tired, but I’m gradually increasing the time I wear them.

These are supremely comfortable, but do not provide much separation between the third, fourth, and fifth toes. If you have a bunion but your other toes are nice and straight, these will probably be perfect for you. If this company decides to make a version that will allow all my toes to splay, I will definitely buy them. Since I need more separation for all my toes, the Eda House toe separators Gel Toe Separators Toe Straightener Toe Stretchers for Women and Men - Eda House in Shoe Toe Spacer work better for me. They seem to give me as much splay as my $65 Correct Toes.

They work well to establish uniformity in the “mess” I refer to as toes. RA has left me with claw toes that make it painful to walk, that individually twist in ways one’s toes are not supposed to. These help align toes in a more normal position & help “stretch” the contractures that define the “claw” shape. This stretching feels wonderful.

I wear women's 8.5 shoes, and these are way too small for me. It was a struggle to get them on, and after ten minutes or so my toes started turning purple because the gel pads were cutting off circulation. I tried snipping off the small end and just using the first three toe slots, but they're just too tight. I ended up buying the style that fits between your toes but doesn't wrap around them entirely, and those have actually done the job without strangling my toes.

I needed a toe spacer that was thicker than the small ones I'd been finding at stores and these fit the bill perfectly! My toes curve a little so the regular toe spacers didn't help move my toes so they weren't touching, but these do! These have significantly improved my bunion pain and my podiatrist says my bunion has actually reversed in severity after using these. They're no cure-all or anything magical, but I have noticed significant improvements in my foot comfort so these get two thumbs up from me!

Great product to use to help your toes but inferior design will break after pro longed use. Mine ripped at the big toe but is still usable just not as comfortable. Cleaning wise it's not the easiest but it doesn't smell which is nice.

I purchased these last October and use them almost every night. I was nervous to purchase since the price difference was quite significant compared to other brands but I’m glad I did. Despite being very flexible and soft they provide the perfect amount of stretch between my toes on both feet. I am a women’s size 6.5-7 shoe. I am somewhat careful putting them on and taking them off but a few times I wasn’t and they still held up great. No rips or stains and they always return to the original shape. They are easy to clean as well. I can leave them on most of the night and I am comfortable but even 30 min on makes a difference. It’s such a great feeling. My feet always feel better afterwards and it helps with a nerve issue I have that affects my right leg and foot. I work in emergency services and have been working minimum 12 hr shifts but up to 21 hrs at a time since COVID started and at the end of the day these really help take my foot care one step further. Thank you for making such a great product at an affordable price. I will likely purchase a second pair to keep at work to use on breaks.

I have used many toe spreader in my life since I was in high school. The space between my big toes are quite big but my right foot, the bunion bone is coming out. So I use toe spreader in my shoes to prevent. I bought Medium size for myself, size 9 shoe size-female and got a large for my dad size 15 and his bunions are way worse. Good quality, solid, as well as the space between the big toes are big enough that keeps my toes wife open. I purchased other ones from Amazon but those are soft and do not spread my toes at all. If you want to buy something, buy this one.

In my case, it did not work at all

The Gel Toe Separator appear to be a quality product. I have worn them everyday since they arrived and I find them comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time. I purchased this product to aid in pain relief due to bunions; however, In my opinion the spreaders between the middle toe and ring toe and the ring toe and pinky toe are very thin and do not spread the toes apart far enough.

I ordered this a couple of days ago because I liked that the spacer between the big toe & second toe is thicker than other ones I’ve seen similar to this (which I have purchased & hated). These are perfect!! My second toe is very crooked & leans right into my big toe - with this, it straightens my toes out very nicely. Same with my left foot. I don’t know if I can wear these with shoes on, but I’m going to give it a try. I just might get another pair now that I know how great they are!
