Will this item keep my big toe from bending down?

Yes, if that is what you want it to do. I actually bought it to keep it from bending up, so I rotated the splint to the bottom to keep it down. You could do the same, and rotate it to the top of your foot, to keep it from bending down. If you leave it to the side of your foot as intended, you will have a little loss of up/down bending motion, but it won't be totally immobilized.

Not quite. The Velcro straps are adjustable but are flexible/flimsy in that they will not be able to keep the big to from bending down.

It could. The velcro strap can be attached in any orientation. However, it does only a marginal job in my opinion.

No it will not keep the big toe from bending down. The strap will go around several toes to keep them straighter. But the strap cannot straighten the big toe. The big toe is too strong.

YES they will help. I only wear orthaheel shoes and have insert in all my other shoes (even my yard clogs) I am overweight and my ankles turn in and this helps keep them straight which then helps align my knees and hips I would buy them if I were you. (Also, you should go on the orthaheel website to see the video of how they work, very interesting)

No, probably not. It's only 1 inch wide, which is kind of narrow. Slacklines are about 3 inches i believe, which helps accommodate the whole foot.

yes , I wear mine lose, but you might have to stretch it some if you have big ankles

Yes, that's correct. Curve on bottom, which lets the little padded part on the longer top comfortably secure your heel. Works great!

I am sure it will because it is adjustable and opens up so you can center your foot and strap it to your comfort. I wear size 9.5- 3wide and still have room to make it tighter. It does not go all the way to the toes so it really doesn't matter your shoe size.

They definitely help stretch the toes. I'm hoping to avoid a hammer toe that has been developing on one foot, and I'm not sure they're doing that, but I read that one way to avoid hammer toes developing is to stretch the toes, so I figure they will help in the long run and probably won't do any harm. From the beginning never hurt my toes, so I didn't have an adjustment period like some people have described. I use them every day, and I enjoy being calm and still for half an hour or 45 minutes while all I do is stretch my toes. That's worth something too!

Toe loops are far from bulky. The tape is thin but very durable and has been treated making it feel soft against both toes. Tho it fastens with a velcro-like tip, the tip usually is placed between the taped toe and the untaped one and is not felt. At least I don't feel it when wearing closed or open-toe shoes. That should give you some idea of the lack of bulk in this device.

It's not supposed to go over your shoe. You have to wrap this around the bottom of your feet to restrict rotation

It should. This tool is like sharp scissors on a pole so you don't need to bend over.

As you can see from the product picture, this item does not wrap around the width of the foot, just around the big toe; therefore, I see no reason why width of a foot would affect the performance of this product. Works great for me, though my feet are not wide. The product is very flexible and soft.

Yes. Majority of my shoes are 4-4 1/2 heels and stretch the front shoes so does not pinch when my foot push forward due to the height.

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

The gadget worked rely well for normal socks. I would expect it will do the job with compression socks. Probably the hardest thing will be pulling the compression sock over the device which will depend on some elasticity in the sock to allow it to stretch over the blue foot. My best guess is yes it will work, but cannot confirm. The device was fabulous for me post hip replacement. Hope this helps.

Yes, It will help you if you have flat feet. You should give a try. Thank you for your interest.

Not really, unless you do a partial dip for your heel or toes. Just large enough for your hand.

I have used this for my toes once and it worked fine. You just have to be very careful.
