Pedifix Visco GEL Hammer Toe Crutch Item # 1037-M Medium 4 Total SMARTGEL TECH

I was recently diagnosed with “capsulitis” of the joint below the toe next to my big toe. My foot surgeon (from a previous foot surgery) recommended I wear a big boot on that foot for a month to take pressure off that joint. That seemed like “overkill” to me. So I began looking for a way to take pressure off that joint with something smaller. I had used these last year when I broke said to (to cushion and support the toe) and I had a couple left. I put them on my big toe, the affected toe and the third toe. Voila!! Successfully took the pressure off - and I could still wear normal shoes! A huge plus! Can’t wait to show my foot surgeon when I report back in 10-days! Worked perfectly when I had a broken toe and worked perfectly a year later when that injury caused more problems! I ordered more because they do occasionally tear (probably not quite large enough for my big toe, so I will be ordering a large size). These are amazing!! Thanks so much - saved me from wearing a huge clunky boot!!!

I had surgery for a hammertoe. The podiatrist that did the surgery made the hammertoe much worse. For the past few years, I’ve been practically walking on my toenail. It has been extremely painful at times. I have only worn closed toe shoes because of the way the toe looks. This product has helped me incredibly. While I am sure it won’t actually straighten the toe, it does hold the toe in the correct position. I can actually look down and see my toenail for the first time in many years. Needless to say, my toe is held in the correct position for walking comfortably. You can even wear it with flip flops. My only con is that it is overpriced....way overpriced!

These are very comfortable and lift the hammer toe up, taking the weight off of it while they cushion the top of the toe. Because they are soft, made of gel, they do get distorted out of shape due to the pressure from the hammer toe. So you will want to have multiple toe crutches. I have been buying them for 5 years. However, they have gotten quite expensive in the last 5 years. These will NOT correct or cure a hammer toe. Nothing will, other than surgery. However, using these has alleviated the pain and I am able to do all of my normal routines, including dancing, without needing surgery.

I like these. They relieve the pain in my toe. I purchased two of these (medium) in December, 2021.. Each package had only two toe crutches. The text describing them does not match what I received. Chuck

Comfortable, washable

This works perfectly fine for me. I even forgot that I had it on. Just need to test it out while I run.

I bought these as a 100% skeptic, as I've bought dozens of bunion and hammertoe products that have gone directly into the trash. When I started to put the first one on, I didn't pull it all the way to the base of the toe (I have bunions on both feet and wear the hammertoe splint on the second toes) and reached for the trash can. However, I decided to make a bit more effort, and I pulled it all the way down and positioned the top part on the "knee" of the toe. And suddenly I realized that it worked like a charm. I've been wearing ridged toe protectors on the toes for years, and these splints place just enough additional pressure on the toe - to the extent that maybe, now, the toes won't get worse. If your toes are overly short, they may not work for you. Otherwise - BUY THEM!

These do straighten my curved toe (the one by my pinky toes) while I am wearing it. I was hoping it would train my toe to stay straightened, but that hasn't happened, at least not yet. I am still using them in hopes that my toe will learn to 'stay straight' on its own. I need to use one each side of the curved toe as my toe seems to really be resisting being straight. I think my need to use two of them is causing my foot to feel crammed in my shoe. I'll post an update hopefully to tell you that things have improved.
