Can this be positioned so that the cusion lies over the top of the toe joint? I have a bone spur on top that is inflamed.

This bunion guard is a simple piece of silicone, with a hole in the top, to fit over the toe. It can be positioned over any toe, in any orientation, to provide pain relief anywhere on the foot! I love these things!!!

It is very soft and I would think it would stay put as it stays put on the side of the foot covering the bunion - good luck. It is very comfortable and saves a lot of joint pain for me.

Yes, the material is flexable enough to be moved around in different positions.

I guess it could if the guard is taken off. I wouldn't use it that way though. Toe nails would have to be rather tough.

In my opinion and that of my massage therpist, it has nothing to do with the actual size of your foot. It is made to relieve pain and discomfort by helping to stretch the toes and relieve the inflamation in your feet.

I just slid the wedge in under my toes after I had the splint on. Totally comfortable, but I realized I didn't really need the wedge anyway (it's really only if you need a slightly sharper angle), so it lives in the drawer of my bedside table.

These are made to be on top of the shoe inserts, they will not fit properly underneath because of the way they are molded. They have helped me very much and are approved by my podiatrist.

Yes. I have a disease that causes peripheral neuropathy. This causes muscle and nerve pain. You can lay it upside down and set your foot or feet on it. Where a sock if you ticklish. I all would lay it upside down on a ottoman or chair and lay my calves on top or it. Great product.

Yes, I think it would be helpful for you to use these Toe Gel Separators. They have helped my big toes alot!

I am not exactly sure what a toe wedge is. The device has a spongie cushion that does rest under your toes thus pushing them up a bit.

Not at all, but my husband can pit his socks on without any problem! And he has a fusion in his back I was putting his socks on for him but not anymore!!! Hope this helps!!!!

sorry for delayed reply, I was out of town. It's either foot. and FYI . . it works "ok". If you have big calves like I do, it's hard to maintain the position. Try it.

I don't know why he would be using it on his feet, but if he has arthritic pain, I don't see why he couldn't use it there. I use it on the parts of my body where my arthritis flares up.

I had the bone on the side of foot cracked, no pain with the boot. What does your Dr. recommend, if he says yes, and you are in doubt, it will probably just be fine, the boot does stabilize the area well. Hope this helps.

You can place it under the padding at your toes. It will vecro onto the boot so it doesn't slip. It is used to create more stretch in the calf.

Not really. The width doesn't get narrow enough to be able to place the stretcher as far as the toe area.

Cynthia, I am not a doctor, but I did consult a podiatrist about mine. She said that only surgery will correct a severe hammertoe. She said it's a pretty simple surgery. I am reluctant to have surgery for it because I have heard from acquaintances that once you have surgery you will always have pain. I don't currently have pain from my toes, they just rub and are uncomfortable in close-toed shoes. Have you consulted a podiatrist?

I think it would if you're talking about the top of your lower leg since it's not long enough to go over the knee. It stretches to fit over my cast and then tightens back up just below my knee.

I broke the two toes at the top knuckle, causing a hammer toe effect. It straighten and flatten the toes, making it more comfortable to walk.
