Video on site says ergonomic shaping helps prevent the safety straps from digging into the space between the fingers. True? What about toe straps? Thx

The toe straps do not bother me at all. They are more comfortable between the toes than a flip-flop.

In my experience, this is true. The toe straps are not as confortable as the paws, but I usually do not need them in my practice since my real problem is sweaty palms that make me slip on the yoga mat or the floor.

The digging is minimal. Considering how my hands and feet sweat, my yoga practice wouldn't be the same if it weren't for the yoga paws.

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!

Thus far I've had no problem of and pinching of fingers. The unit lowers and lifts in a stable manner that allows you to have full control of the chair. When raising or lowering the seat, you are in full control and are even able to leave it mid way if necessary.

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

The base is flexible enough that you should be able to, at least secure the rest of the toes. I have a similar situation with my 4th & baby toe, in that they are so tight together (but, not webbed). I am still able to get the gems fairly close, so that they still have the stretching affect.

Hmmmm to be honest im not sure either but my guess is (i bought this for sling shot) because it is "ergonomically correct" when you pull this rubber it wont slip from you finger?

They are adjustable so you can make them smaller/tighter if required. I have found that I like wearing my thinner running shoes and my 5 finger shoes with the straps. They work pretty well without going for the clip ins.

I wore the adjustable smaller strap around my second toe which attached(Velcro) to main strap under foot to help pull my hammertoe in place. This product comes with 2 skinny straps as well as larger strap pictured

I know it is a little harder to do but you need to load the strap through the bottom of the buckle. While depressing the thumb tab you have to thread the strap from the middle on the bottom to the outside. That will take care of any slipping problems. I have a 400+ lb. friend that works out with me and never has a problem at all with them.

Actually i do not remember the extra straps. the first x i used it i pulled the big toe much too far and hurt my foot. when i get back from this trip i will try again. have tried TONS of these things and this was the easiest one i found. and it certainly works. will work better when i GRADUALLY increase the pressure. sarahleah

Actually it is simpler. I have used my friend's trx and prefer the Woes because the straps can slide through the carabinier and adjust naturally. For instance with the trx you have to fiddle with both straps to make them even whereas you can often just shorten/lengthen one of the Woss straps, grab the handles and even the sides just by putting some weight on them(with hand or feet). The sliding function also allows for more interesting exercise variations. I have bought 5 sets for friends and they are all still going strong.

Padding inside the wrist works best for me! You can try both, but i think padding inside the wrist the way most people wear it

Can be above the wrist. The short leathers should be palm side and the suede side should cover the back of your hand. I stretch the elastic when I am putting the glove on so that I can fasten it just below the wrist, but it always slides into position above my wrist when I flex my hand. If you find your wrist gets irritated by the constriction, loosen the Velcro a little!

I did not use mine too long...I have narrow feet, but it was too tight and eventually hurt. I had to quit wearing it. A great pair of custom made orthodics along with daily stretching of my calf muscles helped a lot.

They give you different looks. I prefer the cone shaped. I think it is easier. You have to get used to it though. I kept burning my fingers. I don't like wearing the gloves.

I got this for my husband and he loves it. I don't know about the specifics of it but he uses it for work (major appliance technician) and it really saves his hands and tendons. I hope this helps you a little bit.

Sometimes you just can't use the gripper, you can use smaller potatoes or cut them down a little. What I think is easiest is just not use the gripper, I bought the safety gloves and they are remarkable, you just have to be careful.
