I have a L Hammer toe... lots of shoe inserts that did nothing... Used Gel toe protecter doubled over and taped tougher under the Great toe AND the Backer tube Kit the past weeks...OUTSTANDING RESULTS... 25 Years on my Feet as a RN I should have thought of this earlier . Well Done Video.
Excellent presentation. Received the necessary supplies and started making my own toe crest pads, which proved to be very much better and so much cheaper than the commercial versions. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My incapacitating toe pain is nearly gone.
I made 2 different versions of these for my wife's right foot. She has severe hammer toe/claw foot and is a nurse. I'm hoping these help her and give her some relief. Thanks for all of your tips and suggestions.
I ordered these items and tried to do what he did, and it was just hopeless. I could never get a shoe on. It was bunchy. I guess he’s an expert at it. I can usually do about any kind of craft from a video, but not this one.
I will try, but also think about changing your shoe style. You need a shoe with a wide toe box. I found that Lems give me these without the problem of wide heel. I would think that if you try these with your stylish narrow shoe they won’t work. I usually never buy shoes on lone, but after measuring my feet as directed, the shoes fit very well. Only problem, no dress shoe options so far. That is disappointing. I will be ordering these supplies to try.
I'm going to try this. I was thinking of getting kinesiology tape but I'm sensitive to the adhesive on plasters. I think the ones described as hypoallergenic are latex free but they are going to have some adhesive on! So I think your solution is best. Thank you.
I've been buying stuff and searching for ways to try to hold my still-flexible hammertoes in place. What a great video! I want to ask, ... are these comfortable enough to wear inside a shoe? I have custom arch supports, and I'm guessing I would have to have a deep toebox to accomodate this device. What experiences do you know of where people have worn these inside a shoe? Thanks so much. Make more videos!
