Toe Stretchers - Flex Gel Toe Separators for Alleviating Foot Pain After Ballet, Dance, Yoga and Sports Activities - Effective pain Relief for Bunions, Plantar Fasciitis & Hammer Toe (Pink)

Let me tell you what led me to buy these toe stretchers a while back. About six years ago, my GP diagnosed the burning, stabbing pain I was getting on the ball of my left foot, between the second and third toes, as metatarsalgia. I was not entirely convinced by this diagnosis, as having read about the symptoms of Morton's Neuroma, I figured that this what I had and unfortunately, continued to suffer pain from over the last six years, with some abatement in symptoms usually over the Autumn/Winter months when I would usually wear flat-heeled, wider-fitting boots for optimum comfort. Some months ago, the pain became more persistent and severe and would not ease off, to the extent I couldn't put any weight on my left foot, even when wearing my comfy boots and I was restricted to limping around in trainers which wasn't doing my foot or my general posture any good at all. I searched for various natural remedies on the web, eventually finding on YouTube a video posted by a fellow Morton's Neuroma sufferer who suggested the daily wearing of toe stretchers for thirty minutes or so when resting up, as a means of alleviating the symptoms, if not curing the condition. I was pleased I could get toe stretchers on Amazon, so purchased this pair and devised a routine of wearing them for a minimum of thirty minutes each evening. I also place a hot water bottle underneath the balls of my feet when wearing the toe stretchers and rest up in bed, as I think the heat helps with the blood circulation to the affected area and therefore hopefully assists with the therapeutic/healing process. After doing this for two weeks, I began to notice that my symptoms were abating; I have therefore continued with this routine on a daily basis each evening and am virtually pain-free - hooray! Of course, I don't know whether it was using the toe stretchers regularly or the heat from the hot water bottle or a combination of both which has led to such an improvement for me, nor do I yet know if when I start wearing my Spring/Summer shoes and sandles whether the symptoms will return. All I can say for the time being at least is that I'm delighted with the results I have achieved in using these toe stretchers. I'm a size four foot and my toes are quite small so the holes for the toes are quite big for me, but they still work ok in terms of seperating the toes. Another tip I cam across for alleviating the symptoms of Morton's Neuroma is to put two sponge earplugs between the affected toes before you put on your footwear, as this keeps the toes slightly seperated throughout the day, therefore taking pressure off the neuroma and alleviating the pain. This seems to work for me too! I am now currently walking properly, putting equal weight on my left and right foot, which is good news in terms of avoiding any related postural problems.

Love these.Bought as an alternative to some more expensive ones as wanted to try them.I'm a size 5 (38) they are quite scary big on opening but they work.All reading suggests starting with 5 or 10 mins then building up to longer.I find them nice and comfy and my feet feel lovely and relaxed, hopefully undoing some of the years of heels.

Like the air slowing between my toes after a day enclosed in footware

I love these!

Really does the job of stretching in between yours toes, feels great afterwards!!!

FAB

These are great for giving your toes a stretch after a long hard day in the office. I wouldn't necessarily say they prevent bunions, more so they give you the flexibility to wiggle your toes!

You have to be a size 40 to wear this underneath your shoes
