My teenage daughter has a broken toe and my concern is coverage for the top front of her foot while she's in school, do you think this will help?

It will keep it covered but the pressure although light pressure from the top may bother her toe I think a boot where the upper part of the foot is elevated may work best

I believe it will provide adequate coverage for her toes. I found this to be one of the best boots for support after having an injured foot. I liked this boot because it didn't cut into my ankles like the others tend to do, it also has a natural bow shape which gives a rocker motion when walking, and was the most comfortable for my broken toe.

I had the bone on the side of foot cracked, no pain with the boot. What does your Dr. recommend, if he says yes, and you are in doubt, it will probably just be fine, the boot does stabilize the area well. Hope this helps.

Not 100% sure ? It can be a little rough on sore spots at times. But it's a life saver most of the time ! I would think you could wear an extra piece of clothing if it was to hard for delicate areas !

The thicker part of the wedge should be placed up near, but not on, the toe area. I practiced before it felt comfortable. HOPE SHE FEELS BETTER.

I found ways to make it comfy and have it work. First, get a thick sock and cut the great toe out. Wear the sock under the brace, always! Second, when you first start to wear the brace, just loop the velcro loosely. Don't tighten it at all. The width of the toe protector will work first and without pain. Only start to tighten it after about a week or even two, and then, just tighten it a bit. This is a slow process if you don't want the process to be searingly painful. It takes time. I started to notice a difference after about two months. If you go too fast, you can hurt your gate or your knee, so be careful and just go very slowly.

That's a difficult answer because it's an oil, a liquid, which spreads easily and it's use is set by humans. LOL. I estimate that sightly less than an inch of oil in the dropper is sufficient for toes (top and bottom) and it easily spreads upward onto the ankles, which helps if you're in pain. This is a great product that truly works when prescribed medicine may not. One bottle for both feet nightly, sometimes in the daytime, can last me longer than one month. Invest in one bottle and I'm sure you will be rewarded with relief.

It could be helpful, to roll your insole across. Another option would be the Homemedics foot massager which we purchased this year as well.It is nice, but a larger device and not so portable.

I think there is another brand that might work better for little toes. I don't remember the name though, sorry. But it is one I gave a negative review to... ;) Keep searching, you may find one. Eventually everything ends up on Amazon!

Yes. It's purpose is to keep your foot at a 90 so it can have a better chance at healing. It does take some time to work.

I've never tried but this is more like a strong band aid...it does not really straighten your toes. I like the gel toe separators and a few other products on amazon that had 4 or more stars generally were good. No matter what I do my toes are getting more and more bent.

I'd say yes if the kids are elementary school age--but, these are going to be tight and not very forgiving so there is a pretty good chance things could go south on the kids pretty quick if one of them looses their balance (sprains, twisted ankles, hyper extended knees...etc...kids are resilient, but this might be a bit much..)

It doesn't go very high. I wouldn't say it protects the heel. They are also much thinner in the front, which is odd, since they do have nice support for the rest of the foot. I am not sure I would buy them again.

Yes, I think it would be helpful for you to use these Toe Gel Separators. They have helped my big toes alot!

I am buying these for my brother, who is a quite overweight and has diabetic foot problems. I believe it does protect his heels quite a bit. However as far as how far up the heel it goes, I would not know without looking at one as he stands on it on the bare floor. All I know is that he says it really helps out- really makes his feet feel better.

As is, I think it would be too large for a 5 yr old child. I am wary of cutting or trying to reshape it. I would think a pediatrician or podiatrist would be able to procure something appropriate.

i read some other' reviews; their complaint is that when it is "wet" (due to sweats) then the tape would slip; i can see that, it seems that it works well around the toes cuz there are lil spaces around them to move or slip. Short answer, it may not be good for your needs. :/

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