Robert A. Roth: Separates toes comfortably

Kathryn: The medium size toe protectors were too small for my husband's size 12 feet and his toes. Inste ad of just tossing them out, wheat we did was cut the entire tube down the length, turn it sideways, and wrap that whole length around his three middle toes - almost like a "toe mitten". Then we used a band aid to secure the loose ends together. It's not pretty but it worked pretty darn good to provide some functionality and use.

Cynthia Fritz: I have used these types of tubes for my hammertoe which formed after a break that did not heal well. This is the best value I have found, as you are able to cut to fit and get many more tubes from this package than in those sold elsewhere. It is important to get the right size. I use a medium, for my second toe of a foot wearing a woman's size 8-8.5 shoe. They are tricky to get on at times but worth the effort, can be rolled in half, put on and worked down the toe and then unrolled. Easy to wash and re-use, they last quite a while. Great product if you do not need a toe cap to cover a nail area. Also used it on a toe I bruised when I dropped a book on it and it helped to protect the bruise.

Sly F: A couple of years ago I had a hammer toe pop up. Ugh! The mid joint that sticks up was starting to turn reddish probably because of the rubbing on the shoes. I was concerned since I am an insulin-controlled diabetic. One podiatrist said surgery, which I really want to avert as much as possible. Two other doctors told me to use corn pads placed on that joint to protect it. The problem with corn pads is that my grandmother used them and I associate it with old, frail people. I know that's a personal problem but there it is. The other thing is that a corn pad on that area would be very awkward and probably fall off during a lot of walking. These toe tubes were perfect, perfect, perfect. I can cut them to just the right length. They're comfortable enough where I don't even feel them under my socks and even during my hikes. I am wearing them throughout the entire waking day. I do remove them at night. These are the perfect size for that particular toe. I check to make sure the circulation is not affected. They're easy to wash and reuse. The reddening joint is doing much better now. Thanks toe tubes.

Michelle Biediger: I love these! My feet have bone spurs on my little toes and the ones next to them. I'd been wrapping one or the other toe with gauze and tape daily to keep them from their painful rubbing. These little sleeves are wonderful. You can cut them to the length needed and they stay put 99% of the time. They do take up a little space and in the beginning, I did notice it when I put it on, but after a few minutes, that sensation was gone and I don't notice them unless my shoes are too tight or it slips off (doesn't happen often and depends on if I'm wearing boots or shoes, the type of sock and what I'm actually doing at the time.) I've used them wearing sandals also and they have never slipped off. The external material is soft and the interior gel type surface is cool and soothing. It kind of reminds me of that kid slime, but it isn'y yucky or gooey like the kids stuff, it has just the right amount of non-sticky squish **LOL!!** to keep the sleeve from slipping off ;)
