I recently broke my 5th toe (pinky) &amp; have tiny toes. would love to not use tape &amp; gauze to stabilize it, would these work???

Hard to tell. i used it on the two longest toes and it worked well, but I think that your two toes to tie together would have to be similar in length.

I have fairly small hands and tried to use one splint on the 2 fingers you mentioned and it didn't work. It kept popping off as there's not enough velcro to keep it on 2 fingers. They are made for only one finger. I use my splint for my middle finger and after a couple weeks wearing it during the day and at night, I now only have to use it at night. Best little splint, from my personal experience. Hope yours gets better.

I used a gauze tape to keep it on. I used it for protection - I cut off a portion of my finger and had to have a skin graft, so I needed to keep it safe. Taped on securely, it did stay on overnight. I only used it for flying on an airline where I didn't want my metal protection to be a hassle.

As is, I think it would be too large for a 5 yr old child. I am wary of cutting or trying to reshape it. I would think a pediatrician or podiatrist would be able to procure something appropriate.

Unless you have very long and large toes, I doubt it can be used for the pinky. Also, this product rubs a lot and can make a blister. I had to return the 2 I bought.

Yes, I do use it almost on a daily basis depending on the shoes I wear. I still cannot put it on my toes.I was them by hand in mild,soapy water and let them air dry over night.

Interesting question, do you plan on having one of those injuries soon ? My husband just used this product for the first time about a month ago and he still has some of the product still on his toe !!! Because this material forms such a "cement-type" coverage, I would be concerned about putting enough product on such a large wound. Would it absorb so much blood that it would be dangerous ? I guess it could b removed by a doctor. I think this question needs to be presented to the manufacturer and/or a physician/surgeon. Good luck.

Probably not. I would suggest a product called correct toes. They separate all your toes.

I haven't tried oils (good idea), but I have sprinkled with water (using my fingers) to provide more moist heat--before I microwave it (be careful of heat when you remove--that water gets hot--may not heat the maximum time). That works well. Also, I cut the toe out of a long male sock and thread my Pack thru it, just to keep cleaner.

yes. keep them bare on the bottom for best results. drape a small blanket or towel loosely over the top part of your feet. It's ok to wiggle your toes - ha!

Three in a package and I really like them. My podiatrist cut the tendon of my middle toe after my initial surgery so that the toe would not force the second toe over. Unfortunately, now my tendonless toe goes wherever it wants while I sleep and it hurts. I strap my bad to to a stable one and it solves my nighttime toe pain.

Hi there! You could easily cut through the silicone to eliminate the little toe section. I think you could probably get through it with scissors, and if not, try an exacto blade.

No, just roll them open to get the toes in easily, and unroll them up to put on. I've used these for foot pain for a while, and they are great. I just had serious foot surgery and have to keep compression on to prevent swelling - these are perfect!

I don't think this would be useful for stretching a shoe lengthwise. This product is primarily for stretching out the toe box (so your toes don't get so crushed together).

When I used it, I just applied a layer over the toenails of a cleaned foot. Give it a few minutes to dry, then you can put your socks on.I do not use it anymore and changed to plain vinegar per my podiatrist recommendation. It is a year long process, and you need to hang in there. Quick fixes if advertised are clearly bogus...would not happen.

I used these after my bunion surgery. Think about where your own bunion pressure points are. You may need to consult a dr.

These loops will work wonderfully to hold two toes together tightly. I doubt that the loops will keep a toe from bending down or under. I use them to keep my dislocated second toe bound to the third toe and thus keep the second toe from climbing on top of the big toe. They perform this action perfectly. I will have toe surgery this month to straighten (realign) the second toe. I don't see how these loops could help with hammer toes, but I'm not a foot specialist. Trying them on hammer toes would not cost all that much.
