Video on site says ergonomic shaping helps prevent the safety straps from digging into the space between the fingers. True? What about toe straps? Thx

The toe straps do not bother me at all. They are more comfortable between the toes than a flip-flop.

In my experience, this is true. The toe straps are not as confortable as the paws, but I usually do not need them in my practice since my real problem is sweaty palms that make me slip on the yoga mat or the floor.

The digging is minimal. Considering how my hands and feet sweat, my yoga practice wouldn't be the same if it weren't for the yoga paws.

It is fairly easy to use the mouse, but not so easy to type. Instead, I would recommend another brace designed to prevent carpal tunnel. There is a stiff piece on the back of the hand, but a "beanbag" like pad at the wrist where it rests on the desk or computer. It is made by Imak and is called SmartGlove. I always use this glove when at the computer.

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

Actually it is simpler. I have used my friend's trx and prefer the Woes because the straps can slide through the carabinier and adjust naturally. For instance with the trx you have to fiddle with both straps to make them even whereas you can often just shorten/lengthen one of the Woss straps, grab the handles and even the sides just by putting some weight on them(with hand or feet). The sliding function also allows for more interesting exercise variations. I have bought 5 sets for friends and they are all still going strong.

They give you different looks. I prefer the cone shaped. I think it is easier. You have to get used to it though. I kept burning my fingers. I don't like wearing the gloves.

No - I have no idea why you are using it, but it was a waste of money for me. My toe wouldn't fit in ANY shoes with it on and didn't help when not wearing shoes.

Hmmmm to be honest im not sure either but my guess is (i bought this for sling shot) because it is "ergonomically correct" when you pull this rubber it wont slip from you finger?

Mine has not stretched out of shape, in spite of regular wear. The side support is probably the most helpful part of the design and, I think that stretching/loosening would defeat the purpose and design of the stabilizers. And it would not be at all helpful if the brace is too sight. Ask your doctor for advice. If you are purchasing this in a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist or pharmacy tech for assistance. And ask if the item can be exchanged it it's too snug, or tto loose.

I only own the Military Strap Trainer system from Woss. If the difference is on the width of the band, I would of preferred it on the wider side instead. Why, because sometimes I do use a TRX system with my PT and I realized the difference was in the width of my military strap was smaller, making it a bit of a harder workout and the handles were not as cushiony. Although functionality wise, everything works well with what I have and am very happy with the military strap system.

In my opinion it might be hard. Because the pinkie is so short I think the toe wrap would just slide off. I have long toes and use it on the second and third toe and even then, it works it's way up. Sorry. :(

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.

Earlier comments are all correct. My only suggestion is, like the others, is an adjustable strap that will put more of the weight on you shoulder rather than trying to lift the neck with you hand.

Hi David, since my husband has severe back issues. I did a lot of research online and was worried about him having to reach so low to lock in the ankle adjustment. I chose the 960 for the ease and comfort for him. the 960 model also has longer handles on each side as well as other handles to grip or push for more of a stretch. which I seem to like more than he does. If you'd like more info I looked up on You Tube a side by side comparison. I'm including the link for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a21CTqahr4o. He is a little slow to get started if you start the video about 1:43. he will get into more of the description and will show the differences on each one. I hope this helps. J

I think these straps work well for any kind of pulling exercise/movement because of the added grip. I use to use gloves when lifting but I prefer straps by far. Hope this helped

I did not use mine too long...I have narrow feet, but it was too tight and eventually hurt. I had to quit wearing it. A great pair of custom made orthodics along with daily stretching of my calf muscles helped a lot.

Yes, but beware that in order for the pad not to shift you will have to tighten the strap. That requires the toes to be in a position they don't want to be in and therefore eventually cause some pain. What works for me is that I adjust the strap up or down the toe (usually up the toe) and that relieves the pain. However, that may be more difficult for you considering the toes you intend to straighten or small and not much room to move up and down.

Actually i do not remember the extra straps. the first x i used it i pulled the big toe much too far and hurt my foot. when i get back from this trip i will try again. have tried TONS of these things and this was the easiest one i found. and it certainly works. will work better when i GRADUALLY increase the pressure. sarahleah
