Has anyone actually had toe realignment with this product?

I've used it. I don't see improvement but it seems to help the toe from getting worse. If the toe is at a sharp angle towards other toes, I can't see it helping at all. I would ask my GP for an opinion as he would be dealing with toe problems from a variety of cases.

I think you would need surgery to achieve realignment, but I do use this when I am sitting around in the evening after a day at work. My foot is less painful and this splint is helpful but it is not realistic to expect realignment.

No. I purchased this higher priced product thinking it would work. Took about 5 minutes to realize it was not strong enough to pull my toe. Needs.to be made from steel. Returned for credit. Was very disappointed

I am using this bunion aid now mostly at night. It help to eliminate my pain as I am afraid to go to surgery. However, my bunion is medium and not severe pain which needs surgery.

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 had a toenail that cracked and some of the toe was uncovered. I didn' have any pain or burning due to this. Everyone may be different.

It worked great when I used it,especially as it was easy to use vs. proper laces, but can't honestly compare it to other braces on the market due to no experience with any others, sorry! I finally succumbed to foot surgery due to major pronation of my foot sliding away from my ankle (ouch!), and now I no longer have need for a brace, but it worked fine when I needed it! Sorry I can't be more helpful!

NO. I bought them just to stretch the toe area and they would not stay in place. I would not recommend this product.

Toes are fully inclosed. At times it feels like I have six toes when I am trying to line them up with the sock toes. I have found the sox to work quite well. The help me notice if I am torquing my feet too much in a position and gently remind me to balance my efforts.

I had no problem. Well at first because my toes aren't limber it takes a lot to get them on. Now no problem at all!

No. And I luv it! Make sure big toe and heels R on metal. And weigh 2-3 times to confirm accuracy. I skip my nutritionist thanks to this scale :D

I have been wearing them for a couple of weeks. They help with releaving pain. However, my begining stages of a bunion would require me to wear for a year to see any results of straightening but everyone is different.

Sorry. I don't know. My big toes want to go toward the other toes on each foot. The Toe Alignment works perfectly for me to keep them in place. I've used them several years and have had no problems with my big toes since I started using them. I hope someone else can answer your question.

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.

Yes, I moved them between multiple shoes, they do have a small sticky patch on the backside but I never used it.

unfortunately no. but once I got used to it, I stopped hitting my toes on it (which I did twice)

Yes. It works great regardless if you wear shoes or not. I do both (even at the office!)

I am not familiar with this condition. So I googled it. It is only my opinion that I think it would help. I purchased this system for my plantar fasciitis which is heel pain. I found that following the protocol was extremely helpful. I was told to learn to live with my condition, get special shoes or opt for surgery. That was not an option for me. Diligence is required and getting past the initial pain is key. It was a "hurts so good" because I got tremendous relief. I no longer have plantar fasciitis. I don't know if this answer has been a help to you but I believe it is definitely worth the effort. Occasionally I still use my walkers when my feet are tired. I am not familiar with this condition.

Yes, I have used this gel on my toes..both on the outside edge where you get a callouses and in between my toes. This is not that strong. I have never experienced a problem with the three times I've used it.
