I recently broke my 5th toe (pinky) & have tiny toes. would love to not use tape & gauze to stabilize it, would these work???

I'm not sure. They're really designed for middle toes. The small width really only fit over one toe (not including the one you loop it to). The wider size fits over two toes. Some of the problem will be with how much your foot angles. You probably don't want to pull on your broken toe at an angle.

I am not sure if you could get them to stay on the way you need it to. I have fairly large toes and I broke my big toe. It just fit with the big toe and second toe in it. But they do have velcro to help adjust it to your feet. So it might be worth at least giving it a try.

Hard to tell. i used it on the two longest toes and it worked well, but I think that your two toes to tie together would have to be similar in length.

I think the only cure for hammer toes is surgery. These loops just keep my toes straight, they don't really cushion the part that sticks up. I still need to put on one of those gel sleeves which work really well.

Yes, I would think you could use them on toe nails. I, however, have not tried that yet.

Yes, I do use it almost on a daily basis depending on the shoes I wear. I still cannot put it on my toes.I was them by hand in mild,soapy water and let them air dry over night.

Toe loops are far from bulky. The tape is thin but very durable and has been treated making it feel soft against both toes. Tho it fastens with a velcro-like tip, the tip usually is placed between the taped toe and the untaped one and is not felt. At least I don't feel it when wearing closed or open-toe shoes. That should give you some idea of the lack of bulk in this device.

I have wondered that as well. I guess if you sleep with your feet above the covers it's possible. The yoga toes are silicone and will stick to the covers if you roll over. That would not be very comfortable for your feet if they snagged and pulled a toe out of alignment. BUT definitely you could fall asleep wearing them once your feet get used to them!I hope this answers your question!

Yes. There is nothing there to catch the toe nail if that was your concern.

I have used this for my toes once and it worked fine. You just have to be very careful.

We didn't keep this device as it didn't really work for us. It may work for some. I suppose if you are creative you might be able to use it for removal, but I can't imagine that it would help. Can you just roll them down? I realize the stockings are tight and it would be nice to have help, but I can't imagine that this would make it easier. You would have to stretch the top part enough to put it back on the donner while your leg was still in the stocking. I suggest going to a local medi-supply place and seeing one in person. That should answer all your questions.

No, they gripped just fine. The toe stop was VERY slippery, as it seemed to be a plastic rather than a rubber feel. That kind of stopper is fairly worthless. Lol

Unless you have very long and large toes, I doubt it can be used for the pinky. Also, this product rubs a lot and can make a blister. I had to return the 2 I bought.

I bought this for my wife, cause she lost a nail and this product was the magical solution. I hope it works for you. I also bought something named toekini or something like that for my wife high heels, to not slide. After using it, she can wear her high heels for hours without feeling any pain.

I purchased the toe pouch to help with a sore toe.I wear them with my regular size shoe and a rounded toe.It appears that they don't take up much room but might with a narrow toed shoe.

Cynthia, I am not a doctor, but I did consult a podiatrist about mine. She said that only surgery will correct a severe hammertoe. She said it's a pretty simple surgery. I am reluctant to have surgery for it because I have heard from acquaintances that once you have surgery you will always have pain. I don't currently have pain from my toes, they just rub and are uncomfortable in close-toed shoes. Have you consulted a podiatrist?

I would never use tape alone. Gauze pad allows a medical dressing and tape will hold it on.

I bought this to comfort both of my big toes as I have bunions on them. They have helped my toes very much. I think the toe gel separators would be of help to you. They don't cost too much so you might want to buy a pair of them. Hope this answers your question!

I haven't tried oils (good idea), but I have sprinkled with water (using my fingers) to provide more moist heat--before I microwave it (be careful of heat when you remove--that water gets hot--may not heat the maximum time). That works well. Also, I cut the toe out of a long male sock and thread my Pack thru it, just to keep cleaner.
