Review on PediFix Toe Straightener Size Fits by Doug Mancilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Important part of the plan

I have all available versions of this device - triple, double and single. If I have to wear closed-toe shoes, I usually wear one of these so my hammer toe knuckles are curled down and don't rub against the top of the shoe. The single is reversible and works by tying one of your fingers (it doesn't go past your thumb) with elastic loops through a thin, fairly comfortable, fabric-covered pad. Since my second finger bothers me the most, I wear it on top. The single toe device leaves an asymmetrical protrusion for the thumb to rest on, which worries me a little but might please others. It's important to me to switch between different versions to avoid confusion. It takes a little practice to learn how to put them on and tie the loops tight enough but not too tight. I've found I can wear them for hours, but eventually they have to come loose! However, as part of the treatment for my hammer toes, this is a must, along with good shoes with wide toes. If you have trouble putting it on, try an ankle and toe extension movement while simultaneously pulling on the loop. In terms of durability, the edges will wear and peel, but that's only to be expected with use.
