because of extremely sensitive feet, I can't wear anything with toe seams that you can feel AT ALL. Are the seams truly flat?

I don t feel the seems at all but it's really has never bothered me before and the socks are comfortable

The foot portion of the sock is designed very well. It fits great and I don't feel the seams at all. They are wonderful!

I wish I had asked that question before purchasing. No, they are not -- lucky for me I wear mostly flats. But it's not suitable for heels.

I have been wearing mine in my tennis shoes and they are worn nearly everyday. I received my pair about 2 months ago and still in great shape. I would say replace them if they start feeling flat under your feet or pain returns. You can check their website too for more specific information. I love mine though! :)

I would classify these as a one-size-fits-all product. They come in either narrow or wide but I believe they are talking about the width of the material and not the width of your foot. If you are a woman, with average length toes, I believe these would be comfortable. However, if you have unusually short toes this product might not be comfortable for you. I will say that I no longer use the toe wraps because I don't think my toe was showing any improvement with 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?

Yes, seamless toe. Just got back from London where I took several pair to help me navigate with my very sensitive feet. They were terrific: Well padded, not difficult to get on and off, good for circulation and prevented swelling. I'm not an athlete or a hiker. Just 80 years old and arthritic.

I bought this post-op to prevent slipping. I,too, have sensitive feet and didn't really notice the oval relief pattern until someone else asked if it was comfortable.

I also have a wide foot, so I wore the 7/8's because I normally wear a 7. They were almost too long, and having the back not fit got a bit uncomfortable, so I think going up a size intentionally could cause the same problem. But the width was definitely an issue for me, there are seams all along the bottom, and they rubbed at my toes and odd areas around the sole of my foot, it got pretty painful after a bit.

I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer. I work for a hospital and the floors are not nice at all to my feet. I went to doctors, stretching, even the expensive shoes but nothing worked I bought these and in one day I could feel the pain decrease. By the end of the week my pain was gone that I had battled for the last 2 years. Recently I just had to get a new pair of shoes and they were tight fitting with these inserts so I tried for the last week without them and my heel pain is horrible my back and hips hurt so this weekend I wore my boots with my inserts and the pain went away. So long story short if your in pain you have nothing to loose but the pain! I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

yes. once i started wearing them i no longer felt the achy leg pain at the end of a 12hr shift on my feet!! i notice how tired my legs feel when i don't wear them.

I don't think so. I don't really remember. all the ones I had were coming apart where they were stitched at toe so I trashed them.

No, personally they did not feel overly warm, but they are obviously different than wearing the "Crocs" type of shoe in that there is no holes for ventilation. I chose these as I wanted clean feet (without chance of the dirt getting inside the shoe) when digging in the dirt - and they did just that for me!

I think it all depends on the extra room you may have in your shoes or sandles.I have only worn them once with sandles when I had to go out to put out the trash.The ridge above the toes does take up some room. If your shoes provide the room and you are comfortable, I would wear them every day. I wear the to bed and they makea super big difference, even how my foot feel the next day. Standing or walking in them aloneis very comfortable...no problem at all there....

I used these for plantar faciatis but I would asume they would be great for flat feet too. Same type of condition. Good luck!

Honestly my feet are so flat I call them duck feet. They help a lot. If you have planter F, try them. I also get accupuncture on my feet and calves past few months. But without these orthodics I would be in a lot of pain. Buy them they should help!

They definitely help stretch the toes. I'm hoping to avoid a hammer toe that has been developing on one foot, and I'm not sure they're doing that, but I read that one way to avoid hammer toes developing is to stretch the toes, so I figure they will help in the long run and probably won't do any harm. From the beginning never hurt my toes, so I didn't have an adjustment period like some people have described. I use them every day, and I enjoy being calm and still for half an hour or 45 minutes while all I do is stretch my toes. That's worth something too!
