I'm a runner with a hammer toe on my right foot. Can you run with these on?

I have not try them, but i think they are not very comfortable to do it. I use them at night only, for daily activities I use taylor made insole

. The wrap shouldn't be a problem as you run. I fits as tight as you want it to but I don't even feel mine after I have my shoes on.

I am a salon owner, former runner yes they work, I am on my feet for many hours!

Absolutely, in fact it may really help. I am a walker who logs in between 8 and 10 miles every morning and I swear by them.

I do not have hammertoe...I had surgery that removed the joint in one of my toes. I use the Profoot Toe Straight to hold that toe in place( if I didn't the toe would float up). I could run with it on...hope this helps

Yes, you can. They get sweaty though and will need washing much more frequently than if you just wear them for non-athletic use.

I suppose you could use it that way. They aren't very tight on my head so depending on how fast you run, they might fall off.

Sorry. I don't know. My big toes want to go toward the other toes on each foot. The Toe Alignment works perfectly for me to keep them in place. I've used them several years and have had no problems with my big toes since I started using them. I hope someone else can answer your question.

I would think so. I wear them in my running shoes, dress shoes, ballet flats, etc and have never had a problem. Once you get them in the right spot, it really just positions your foot where it should be if everything were working right and you didn't have fallen arches etc. These are the only things that work to eliminate my pain and allow me to keep running and boxing when my feet are bad. It is worth a try if you want to keep up your activity level while healing .

Yes, you can. However, I do not keep them on for too long because they tend to squeeze around my the mid-section of my hand. I had purchased two sizes. The extra small was entirely too tight, but the small was a better fit. So whatever size you are just make sure to get a size up. I honestly forget them a lot and have gotten used to the callouses. But, when I use them, they are functional and cool looking. Hope this helps.

I don't have hammer toes so this is a hard question for me to answer. From looking at pictures of them, I think this would help with mild or beginning hammertoes. This does help the toes and feet feel better from stretching. Good luck!

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.

Depends upon your arch difference on your feet before you started. You want to keep them even as possible. I know when I started to wear them on both feet my feet and legs hurt for a little while until they got used to the new muscle tone.

The short answer is no. However, I do everything in these, and they don't go anywhere. I can run 6 miles without ever having to push them in. They stay out pretty well, in my experience.

In my experience and other service member experience, you have to be careful with that bit of rubber in the middle of the sole that connects the springs to the studs and the two rubber bits at the toe. This was just with running. I would not recommend them for hiking, but would stick to something with chains.

No . I purchased these for my mom, so she could walk more comfortably. But it was a waste of money. They didn't help her out at all. So I highly doubt they'd be comforting for a runner.

Will be a tight fit into a running shoe even without a sock you will still feel some discomfort. Suggest use a thin sock on the brace foot.

No reason you couldn't, but I usually stretch with shoes on for more stability in my foot.

They are not specific for one foot. I use both of them for my right foot. Love them!!

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?

It wouldn't be bad, I would stick to running or cross trainer for that tho. These shoes are more rigid and better used for outside. You don't want to wear out your good hikers inside on a treadmill....

Yes. That is part of why I bought them. Slide on left shoe and rubber on right.
