What are these for? Are you supposed to use them only in "fingered" shoes (like Vibrams), or regular shoes as well?

Hi! You can use them with whatever shoes you want. They are super comfy and after a few uses you will love the feeling. Primarily, I use them with my running shoes, which are not Vibrans. Besides the comfort, I really feel how my feet grasp the shoe while running, and this did not happen with regular socks. I purchased 5 pairs of fingered-type socks of another brand, which are thinner, and I use them with whatever non-workout shoes, including shoes for formal attire. I really love the five-finger socks concept!

I originally bought a couple pairs for exactly that reason but quickly began wearing them every day regardless of the type of shoe I'm wearing. These socks are particularly better than conventional "mitten" socks in conditions where extra toe grip is desired (hiking, golf, running, etc).

you can wear them in regular shoes, too. Cuts down on the chance of developing blisters when running.

It depends on your shoes. I have found that they are too tight on my weightlifting shoes(very flat shoes, I am referring to the New Balance mx20v3.) So I dont use them. But they are fine on my asics crosstrainers.(larger shoes gel 180 TR) I also like to keep my feet tight on my shoes so depends on your fit. Hope it helps

These can be used all the time. I have been using them when wearing shoes since I bought them. Good Luck!!

I'm not a podiatrist, so I really don't know how to answer your question. They provide a good stretching of the toes and feet overall. If you have toe alignment issues, you probably should consult with a podiatrist...

Previous responders are correct. I see everyone uses these for shoes, they should be adsvertised as such.

They fit most hand sizes but don't bother they are pretty much worthless for thump pain/stabilization. Go with a splint that is Velcroed around your thumb and wrist area. I got mine at hand doctor but you can find them on the net.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps. Wayde

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!

No. They are for stretching the toe area as shown in the photo to widen and relieve pressure on the baby toe. Sorry.

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

Absolutely! They are a bit larger prints for finger nails. So using them on the toes is even better.

I bought them for toe positioning. Due to lower leg weakness, they weren't useful,but I think they would do what you want.

I used them on top of the existing insoles. You could trim them to get the desired fit. Uncut makes for more of a cup.

Here at Atlas Biomechanics we recommend that these can be worn under socks with or with out shoes. Most people wear them all day with their shoes. We sell to hundreds of Podiatrists and they also recommend under socks and worn all day. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,TeriAtlas Biomechanics

If you can I would recommend removing any insole that is a part of your shoes and replace them with these; depends on the shoes. I bought these to use in my Running shoes and had to remove the existing insoles before putting these in the shoes. That worked for me. Hope this helps!

You're supposed to use them on your feet everyday until the pads don't come out "dirty" anymore then you're suppose to start using them on different parts of your body. However the best advice I can give is to keep your money and not to buy this product but that wasn't the question

The thing is, the different types of warmers are made for different air-exposure levels; so, the foot warmers are made to work in the lowest air-flow environment. If you use them in a glove or pocket, they will probably not last very long, because they are getting more oxygen and will "burn up" quickly. On the other hand, if you put the hand warmers in your shoes (even if you can stand the thickness) they may not warm enough to make a difference, because they're not getting the intended amount of oxygen... Having said all of that, if you're only going to buy 1 type, as I'm thinking of doing, I would go with the toe warmers, since they will fit in your shoes better. Just know that if you use them in gloves or pocket, you'll have to replace them more often. .
