ZenToes Gel Toe Cap and Protector - Pack of 6 Protect Ingrown Toenails, Blisters, Missing Toenails

As the picture shows I have hammer toes or elephant toes on the 2nd toe of both feet. My toenails for years have been course, black and enlarged I suppose because of the stress from contact. In the last few years, the toes have started to hurt not just when I walk but barefoot around the house.I tried Hammer Toe Crest Pads and they worked but were difficult to keep in place without wearing socks. So for the last 3 months, I have been using Zen Toe caps. Not only do they relieve the pain but my toenails have also healed further relieving the pain.My first impression of the toe caps was that they were NOT going to be very durable but if they worked they would be worth the cost of frequent replacements. The toe caps are very soft and pliable. They stay in place comfortably even without socks. They wash up easily with hand soap or shampoo.I have worn the same pair every day for 3 months AND I won't leave home without them.One of the questions is "do they work for hammertoes?" and the answer is yes and better than you'd expect or hope for. Seriously work the money.

These things are great. My husband is a 12year Marine with the feet to prove it. Every toe has been broken at some point during his career, none point in any really healthy direction, and two are constantly complaining regardless of the quality of boot or shoe he buys. So I buy him what he refers to as "Toe Condoms" (they go on very similar, pinch the tip and roll on). He laughed at me for a few days, and then...he gave in. No more pain, no more soreness on his 2nd toes, I am ordering the large size for when his big toes ache. He wore a certain pair of boots for 2-13hour work days, that he wouldn't have lasted 2 hours in before. They have fit with every pair of boots and running shoes with no weird fit, slipping, or rubbing. These come as a six pack, I ordered the smaller size, but they are still fairly big. You can trim them to fit, but if you have slim toes, small toes, these may not fit well. They are washable and they seem to last a while, but when he runs through them I will order more.

Love these toe caps!I run a fair amount, and get blisters from time to time. I had ramped up my training in preparation for a marathon which left me with two big blisters on my big toes. Running seemed to make them worse but I didn't want to stop running. Enter the toe caps! These didn't make the blisters go away, of course, but they did help in not making them worse and alleviated the pain of running with the blisters. I wore these for a 21 mile run and the full 26.2 and they never slipped, never came off, never ripped, etc. and my blisters never got worse!A few notes on sizing. I got the large, which fit my big toe great. I have pretty big feet (size 15) and they fit the length of the toe as well, but they do say you can cut them down to size. If it was for any of my other toes, the large would be way too big, and the small would be more appropriate. I haven't ordered any smalls since I don't tend to get blisters on those toes.I did verify you can clean them and re-use them.A great buy, overall!

I saw these as a joke on a running group i'm in and thought Wow I need this! And yes, yes I did! They have made a massive difference in the comfort of my runs and my shoes and I am not permanently thinking about my nail falling off from friction or movement. LOVE LOVE LOVE

I bought these after I started to develop bruising underneath my toenail on my big toe on each foot when I started going on longer runs and training for a marathon. I found out that one of the causes of this can be because the toe is hitting against the end of the shoe repeatedly and that one of the ways to help prevent/lessen the bruising is by adding some padding to where the toe would hit. I went to the drugstore and bought some moleskin and put that in at the end of my shoe and started using these on each of my big toes and have since had no further bruising. They're super easy to clean and I have found that they're quite durable - I haven't had any issues with ripping or tearing. They have gradually started to wear down over time which is to be expected, but I have overall been very satisfied with them and have recommended to other fellow marathoners.
