Hammer Toe Straighteners 2-Pack – Toe Splints for Bent & Overlapping Toes

The Problem Is Usually the Rubbing, Not the Shape

This is a 2-pack of hammer toe straighteners at $7.99, soft splints for bent, broken, overlapping and hammer toes. A hammer toe bends upward at the middle joint, so that knuckle rides high and rubs against the top of the shoe – which is what produces the corn, the callus and the pain that actually sends people looking for a solution. A splint holds the toe in a straighter position and cushions the joint, which relieves the rubbing even where the underlying shape does not change.

Key Benefits

• Relieves the rubbing. Cushions the raised knuckle that catches on the top of a shoe – the actual source of the pain.
• Holds the toe straighter. Gentle correction of bent and overlapping toes while worn.
• Soft and flexible. Wearable inside a normal shoe, which is what makes it realistic to use daily.
• 2-pack. Both feet, or a spare.
• No power, no fuss. Wear it, take it off, wash it.

How to Use

• Fit the splint over the affected toe and settle it comfortably. It should feel supportive, never tight.
• Start with an hour or two a day and build up as the toe adapts.
• Wear inside a roomy shoe. Cramming a splinted toe into a narrow, pointed shoe defeats the entire purpose – footwear is usually part of the cause.
• Check your toes regularly for redness, pressure marks or numbness, and stop if they appear.
• If you are diabetic or have reduced sensation in your feet, speak to a clinician before using any toe splint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a splint permanently straighten a hammer toe?

In an early, flexible hammer toe, consistent splinting and stretching may help. Once the joint has become rigid, a splint relieves the symptoms – the rubbing, the pressure and the corn – but does not reverse the deformity. Surgery is the only thing that does.

How long should I wear it each day?

Start with an hour or two and build up as the toe adapts. Comfort is the guide; there is no benefit to forcing it.

Can I wear it in shoes?

Yes – it is soft and low profile enough for a normal shoe. Wear it with a roomy shoe, though. Narrow, pointed footwear is usually part of what caused the problem.

Does it help overlapping toes?

It holds the toe in a straighter position and separates it from its neighbour, which relieves the rubbing between them. As with hammer toe, the correction lasts while it is worn.

Is it safe if I have diabetes?

Speak to a clinician first. Anyone with diabetes or reduced sensation in the feet needs to be extremely careful with anything worn against the skin inside a shoe, because pressure damage can go unnoticed.
