Instant Relief for my opinion

As I understand it, a hammertoe has an abnormal bend in the middle joint of a toe. Mallet toe affects the joint nearest the toenail. I have mallet toes, and these little gels were immediately effective and gave me relief. I’m wearing them 24/7 in hopes I can retrain my toes. Luckily, I seeing my doctor next week to find out exactly what to do, but I’m very happy with them!

Pros
  • Made with advanced SMARTGEL technology
Cons
  • It may not prevent further damage to the affected toe

depends on toe size

Since I need my pinkie toes and the ones next to it straightened, these are too big. (I only tried them when small was out of stock, which works well & mostly comfortably, although too sticky to sleep with.)

Pros
  • Perfect for everyday use
Cons
  • The gel material may become discolored with frequent use

These work: my feedback

These are excellent for their purpose. They would be better if they lasted longer. I have bough another brand of toes appliances and they last much longer

Pros
  • Super easy and comfortable !
Cons
  • The gel material may become sticky in hot weather

would not buy again

Do they keep your toes separated? To a slight extent. Do they flatten a hammer toe? No. They do not flatten a hammer toe, nor do they keep that toe and the one that is trying to migrate under it apart.

Pros
  • very comfortable, easy to use
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for individuals with allergies to certain materials

what a great purchase

I had developed a right foot "hammer toes" after my big toe was fused for severe arthritis . I have had that hammer toe for 6 years now and after receiving this product it straightens out the hammer toe (first toe, next to the big toe) and the toe pain disappears . it is comfortable enough with the very soft elastic silicone ring that hold it in place to wear it all day with a shoe or sandal . A GREAT purchase for me!

Pros
  • Helps to redistribute pressure and weight
Cons
  • It may not provide enough relief for severe cases of hammer toe

Has made it more comfortable

It stays on very well and has supported the toe and made it feel better in my shoe. I hardly know its on there. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Trusted brand in foot care and relief products
Cons
  • The gel material may not mold to the shape of the foot properly

Instant relief - my new review

My toe hurt even wearing soft slippers. Once the gel device was put on, I felt relief. So far no pain when wearing shoes or slippers.

Pros
  • have used this product for a while, once you get used to it you don't know you're wearing it
Cons
  • It may not fit properly for individuals with larger or wider feet

Works pretty well good for me

Does seem to improve hammertoe. Initially I could only wear it for an hour a day. After a while I could wear it longer. Is a bit of a project to get it on.

Pros
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive
Cons
  • The crutch may cause discomfort when walking

Works best for me of any of the support products

This crutch is easy to put on (a bit of talc helps) and doesn't raise the toe so far as to be noticeable in shoes but does keep the toenail from dragging. Soap and water scrub keeps them clean and, so far, they haven't gotten sticky. My hammer toe developed a pressure callus under the toenail and the crutch immediately relieved the discomfort of recovery. As a side effect the crutch comforts a toe's arthritic joint.

Pros
  • Helps to reduce inflammation and swelling
Cons
  • The gel material may not provide adequate shock absorption for physical activity

Soft, comfy, can work if you're creative

Dear Fellow Foot-Problem People, Others have mentioned that these things should be longer. Some say they don't fix the claw-like problem of hammer toes. True, they should come in extra-long. Meanwhile, I have very long hammer toes, and discovered a hack: I can fit two on the one super-long second toe (they overlap some on the bottom side), thus lifting the end, as intended, so the end of the toe does not rub on the shoe - tra-la - AND the hammer IS somewhat corrected, because the lift on the…

Pros
  • Bunion Pads
Cons
  • It may increase pressure on other areas of the foot

Pedifix Visco GEL Hammer Toe Crutch

I'm so pleased and thankful that this Pedifix Hammer Toe Crutch really works and has given me much-needed relief for my toe on my right foot. Great concept that's economical and very comfortable.

Pros
  • Holds toe in place.
Cons
  • The crutch may cause discomfort or irritation to the skin

Worked better than other brands

Had tremendous hammer toe pain. Put this on the day it arrived and it alleviated most of the pain. After a couple of months I had to buy a replacement set as the hoops on the first set stretched and made them less useful. I bought another brand of a similar product and they were useless. Buy this brand and you will find relief.

Pros
  • Can help to improve quality of life for those suffering from hammer toe pain
Cons
  • It may be difficult to find the right size for some individuals

" COMFORT " good for me

After having a knee replacement (twice) My right foot (second toe) is curved in and was raw from walking. After trying the Pedifix Visco GEL Hammer toe crutch I am pain free and its very comfortable to use.

Pros
  • Almost too soft. Could be a little more firm. Could be a little longer, cover both joints.
Cons
  • The gel material may not provide enough support for severe cases of hammer toe

hammer toe aid - my new review

Received promptly. Quality of construction: good Comfort in use: good Ease of application: good Correction of hammer toe? fair It primarily aids (not prevents) crossing of 2nd toe from first, but otherwise is not helpful.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • It may require frequent readjustment throughout the day

GOOD AS SEPERATORS for my opinion

If you have hammer toes, these gel crutch will keep the toes separated. They do not help with straightening out that hammer toe which was why I purchased them. I did not need my toes separated but rather straighten.

Pros
  • NA
Cons
  • I have been wearing it a few days but it broke already so disappointed in the quality.

Really helped with Hammer Toe issues

Got this for my sister who was having issues with hammer toe and wanted some to try prior to surgery and she loves this and it really is helping her.

Pros
  • Provides immediate relief without medication
Cons
  • The crutch may slip out of place during movement, causing discomfort or pain

I could not run without this product!

As clearly stated by the manufacturer, this product is designed "to support claw or hammer toes, elevating toe tip and relieving distal pressure". It's not going to not straighten your hammer toe! They have other products for this, however I've not had any positive results with them, but my deformity is fairly severe, would say on a scale of 1-10 mine is about a 6, from 1 being hardly present to 10 being severely deformed, next to no mobility and overlapping an adjacent toe.If you're still…

Pros
  • Second time we have ordered them. They work perfect for my husband’s toe.
Cons
  • Not anything that really works

Work well but box only had two units, not four as stated

I like these. They relieve the pain in my toe.I purchased two of these (medium) in December, 2021. Each package had only two toe crutches. The text describing them does not match what I received.Chuck

Pros
  • Good for my hammer toe
Cons
  • The gel material may become smelly if not properly cleaned

This thing works! - my new review

I have a bunion & claw toe. This product effectively holds the claw toe down to prevent rubbing in a closed shoe. The almost transparent material enables me to wear sandals or flip flops without calling attention to the deformed second toe. The only downside is I cannot wear it for more than 3-4 hours at a time because the claw toe starts to hurt.

Pros
  • Can be used on either foot
Cons
  • The gel material may harden over time and lose effectiveness

No more pain good for me

These really helped take the pain away while walking. I highly recommend them. I wear both, one on the problem toe and the other on the one next to it. Note for skinny toes, they are a little loose.

Pros
  • I have tried several things, but these things help.
Cons
  • Small for big toe, comfortable on other toes- for me
