Has anyone found a more effective toe alignment option?

Neo G Medical Grade Super Soft Bunion correction system - LeftThis splint is soft and comfortable, also seems to be holding up pretty well over 6 months of nightly use. Won't fit in a shoe really. Best bet for that is just the gel toe seperators imo.

I basically use cotton balls for daytime. Bedtime, I use the individual toe separators. However, I only use two separators on the big toe.

Not particularly. I ordered these as a less expensive alternative to the superfeet orthotic inserts I have been wearing. These do not fit as well or relieve pressure/correct alignment issues nearly as effectively. I would not recommend.

These aren't meant to fix the bunion, but to just slow down the progression. I wear them to help align my wayward big toe and for the extra cushioning it provides my bunion. In this aspect, it most definitely helps!

I don't think so as it is soft & padded.It is not firm to straighten the toes.

I'm not exactly sure about your "proper alignment" issue, and the how much shoe fits will depend on the size of your foot, and the shoe you are wearing. I have these clips on both my commuter, and my "go fast" bike. On the commuter, I could be wearing any number of street shoe styles. As I wear a woman's size 8, the shoe generally fits my toes up to the balls of my feet. They work especially well with my running shoes, but are a bit difficult to manage with platform sandels.(ok, not recommended, but I am riding to work after all) Hardcore riders that think only clip on peddles will ever be acceptable will probably be horrified by the thought of these, but for those of us that find the risk of clip-ons far out weigh being acceptable in their eyes. I am thoroughly impressed by the Delta clips, and would recommend them to anyone.

I think it's sized for the big toe and the second, but if you cant find one that you think will work, maybe you should give it a try. It's not a very expensive experiment.

I think that it is unlikely with this orthotic, unless they have a narrow version. I did not find this helpful, and no longer use it.

I bought this to comfort both of my big toes as I have bunions on them. They have helped my toes very much. I think the toe gel separators would be of help to you. They don't cost too much so you might want to buy a pair of them. Hope this answers your question!

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).

I couldn't get them to expand very much at all. I have open toed shoes too, and tried to stretch the area at the base of my toes. The stretcher wouldn't even expand enough to touch that part of the shoe...didn't work for me at all.

I'm not sure about the big toe but other than that one, my guess is yes because you can cut it to fit smaller toes. I found that it did not straighten my toe but did provide cushioning but it also was rather bulky in my shoes and wouldn't fit in some of my closer fitting shoes. You can probably check it out at most any drug store. Hope that helps.

I have found that it varies with the shoe. You would have to try it both ways. The Pedag inserts have brought me relief.

Yes, but the product overall is not good. It does not hold the crooked toe down ! Good luck.

I have hammer toes on one foot. This what the physical therapist. suggested I use to try to relieve it in hopes I won't need surgery. So far it's working,my toes are a bit straighter. I put them on the bad foot, and 'grip' them with my toes, it loosens the tendon. Using something like this would also ensure you never get hammer toes. For something so simple, the benefits are huge.

No, not anymore than toe clips, maybe less. Caveat that I have only a dozen or so days using them and wear fairly stiff (uppers) shoes.

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...

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