I had surgery years ago, I have no pain. My big toe has gradually moved toward other toes. Would this help if worn only at night?

If you wear it at night consistently it will help. But I recommend wearing socks with them because if not tossing and turning will cause it to move, shift and eventually come off.

I do not know. This product was not helpful to me. It did not fit well and was uncomfortable.

It advertises that it will gently realign but I use it more for a cushion and it is so soft, I am not sure how it would realign.
640760
Yes and No...I think it will help but you should also add something stronger to it. I wear my during the day with shoes, I hope this helps

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!
640762
Yes but I can also wear with some shoes when I do have pain unlike the 5 hole separators.
640763
Yes, I think it would be helpful for you to use these Toe Gel Separators. They have helped my big toes alot!
640764
Probably not. I would suggest a product called correct toes. They separate all your toes.

I also wear it on the second toe to separate it from the big toe. I don't think shoe size is all that important. I have average size toes!

No - I have no idea why you are using it, but it was a waste of money for me. My toe wouldn't fit in ANY shoes with it on and didn't help when not wearing shoes.

Hi Shelah, Well you can wear them anytime you want. They don't fit in shoes, so what works for me is to wear them in the evening when I watch TV. The important thing to remember is that when you first start out only wear them for a few minutes and gradually increase the wearing time. The first time you do it they might hurt or feel funny, but once you get used to them it stretches out your toes and your feet feel good! For me, the best amount of time is half an hour. Anything more than that is too much.

No, it uses velcro to hold the big toe in place. You can adjust the velcro to keep the big toe from bending more or less.

I'm not sure about the big toe but other than that one, my guess is yes because you can cut it to fit smaller toes. I found that it did not straighten my toe but did provide cushioning but it also was rather bulky in my shoes and wouldn't fit in some of my closer fitting shoes. You can probably check it out at most any drug store. Hope that helps.

They absolutely realign your toes and straighten out your foot bones. You need to use them regularly in the beginning to set them straighter. After your pain abates a little, you can lower the frequency and extend the time you wear them . They've helped my bunions become far less painful over the last several weeks. Well worth the $ IMO, and definitely better than surgery !!

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 use a half dropper full every night and I am still using the first bottle I bought 2 months ago. I really works for me. I only have to use it at night because my toes only hurt at night.

Ask your doctor's advise. It shouldn't be necessary to wear them at night while sleeping because your legs are elevatedand things like blood pooling and swelling should be diminished or shouldn't occur.

I personally didn't wear it at night because I felt my body just needed a break from compressions stockings and the extra support but I don't see why you couldn't if you are feeling like it's helping and if you are comfortable enough in it. I found it to be a huge help and was even able to stop wearing it after about 7.5 months of pregnancy. Hope this helps!

I have used these and think the large is better. I use them all day and night to keep the toes apart and they do the job guess it might depend on your foot size. I'm a woman's 8 1/2

Never tried the night splint. But this sleeve is very comfortable to sleep in and wear all day. It made a huge difference for my plantar facsiitis. I was sceptical at first myself, but it does really help.

Yes, I have worn this at night. It takes a night or two to get used to but it really helps ! Good Luck

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 don't know how long one would have to wear them to permanently improve alignment. Yoga toes are very helpful in releasing foot and toe tension and this does improve walking and balance for me. Because I already have a bunion on one foot I doubt these would help keep alignment in that foot but yoga toes help my feet to adapt better to that bunion.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps.
