Is there an actual rigid splint to keep big toe from bending?

There is no splint in the Darco Toe Alignment. It uses Velcro to keep toe straight. I bought it and used it once. It is kind of bulky and cumbersome for me. My problem is to keep toes from rubbing each other. Now, I use foam tubular.

I looked all over amazon, the web, and all of the stores in my area and came up with nothing. My toe was broken and I needed something to keep my toe from bending so I used popsicle sticks and sports wrap. Wasn't very good. Good luck!

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.

no. it is a cloth splint, and not strong enough. I have the same problem and it is better than anything else I have found

No, it uses velcro to hold the big toe in place. You can adjust the velcro to keep the big toe from bending more or less.

NO....there is a piece of Velcro type material which attempts to hold toes in place. It does a pretty good job.

I don't think so. Amazon Marketplace has shoes & insoles expressly for the supinator deviation. However there is a good website that has info about various foot conditions. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/beforeyoubuy/a/aabyb_shoes.htm

Hello,I would take a look at the Spenco RX full length insole. That will help with flat feet.Nicole

No, just roll them open to get the toes in easily, and unroll them up to put on. I've used these for foot pain for a while, and they are great. I just had serious foot surgery and have to keep compression on to prevent swelling - these are perfect!

I did not find one. My spouse wears a size 10.5 shoe and I bought the next to the largest size sock which fit. He loved these socks at first but is now saying they are cramping his toes so I bought the largest size and he is still having that problem. These socks hug the foot so if you are not comfortable with "snug" do not buy.

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

Yes, I have custom orthotics and they work just fine. I wear a women's size 9 narrow shoe and bought a medium Adjust-a-Heel Lift. I needed to trim it since it was too wide for my shoe. This size might work prefectly for a wide shoe, however.

I haven't worn mine for a while, but when I was wearing it, I always wore sandals (flip-flops, or what we called zories when I was growing up). I don't think you would be able to wear a conventional shoe while wearing this splint.

These loops will work wonderfully to hold two toes together tightly. I doubt that the loops will keep a toe from bending down or under. I use them to keep my dislocated second toe bound to the third toe and thus keep the second toe from climbing on top of the big toe. They perform this action perfectly. I will have toe surgery this month to straighten (realign) the second toe. I don't see how these loops could help with hammer toes, but I'm not a foot specialist. Trying them on hammer toes would not cost all that much.

this might be a bit big. perhaps use 3 inch instead of 4. I have only used this for foot/ankle splints.

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

Not really. The width doesn't get narrow enough to be able to place the stretcher as far as the toe area.

Look on Amazon for Tuli's heavy duty heel cups-regular. There are comments of the severs disease.

They make an elongated leg cast sealer that would probably work better. The shoe size shouldn't be a problem because the foot part is quite large.

That's a tough one. My Sperry's are pretty substantial at the back for support. I have used the product on my every day shoes and have luck with the product at the front of the shoe. Have you tried wooden shoe stretchers, along w/a product like this-might work.

No stabilizer needed. Remember to get the alignment done or you toe will be way off.
