Relax TonyToe Separators, 8 pieces

I wear a women's size 7 shoe. I measure medium width but wear wide for comfort. I think this information is necessary for perspective, and it would be helpful for all reviews to include it. I purchased the Relax Tony Anatomical Toe Separators in the little white drawstring pouch first. The silicone is soft and squishy which is nice. The stretch was too much for my pinkys- it tore the skin under my toe - so I cut off the last separator. I've been wearing the remaining linked portion every day, building up to two-three hours so far. I wear them by themselves for a bit and then with flexible, roomy shoes, and I walk with them on. My big toe is what needs separation the most due to a bunion. I bought the "6 pieces" separators, so I could use one piece between my big toe and the one next to it after I take off the linked separators (when they get too uncomfortable). This allows me more therapy time. I use the smaller piece, and it is almost too thick. It's too tall as well, but it's better than nothing. Ideally both the linked separators and the pieces would be made in varying sizes to accommodate the fact that feet are different sizes. My feet would be happier with something smaller. That said, this is the best toe separator fit I've found for my feet, and I'm grateful to have this product. My feet are improving.

I have been running for 35 years and have logged over 66,000 miles. I run 70 miles, 7 days per week. Five years ago, I had a bunion removed on my left foot. Over the past year or so, I began to notice my big toe drifting slightly inward on my left foot and the two middle toes separating. One of the toes separating is starting to overlap the toe next to it.I just started using these toe separators by RelaxTony a few months ago and I’m starting to see progress. It hurts bad initially when I put them on and can only wear them for 30 seconds max. Now I can wear them for a good 15 minutes comfortably. The pain in my foot is now minimal and I expect it to go away entirely as the toe separators coax the toes back to their correct position.Lastly, I like to mention that these are a long-term solution to long-term foot health. If you're not ready to put them on multiple times each day, you probably should just save your money.

This was a first time experiment for me to keep my big toe from turning into the rest of my toes. Toe separator stays put and is comfortable in my tennis shoes when walking and exercising. At first I noticed it, but soon forgot I was wearing it. We will see if it helps. Thank you.

While i will admit these toe separators are very soft, squishy and comfy to wear (in bare feet around the house); there are some outstanding issues:1. they are way too bulky to fit comfortably into shoes. The large ones for the big toes were over 1-1/4" thick in height; so unless your shoes have a very roomy toe box, they are very uncomfortable to wear in shoes - if you can even get your foot into your shoes wearing these things.2. they aren't thick enough in width (only 1/4") to actually separate your toes apart very much! Even wearing both sizes at the same time (large ones on big toe; smaller ones on 2nd toe, with thick sides facing each other) still didn't provide enough 'spacing/stretching' between my big toe and 2nd toe to make them effective at all.It's like they got the dimensions all wrong!! WHY these spacers aren't LOWER in height (so you can actually wear them in shoes) and WIDER in width (to actually separate the toes more) is beyond me!The reason I spared them a few stars is because of their great customer service. They replied promptly when I contacted them and were eager to try to make things right. I received a full refund and didn't even have to return the items.

My husband and I didn't even know these existed until my brother was staying with us and gave him a pair for his bunion issue. They were comfortable in his shoes and he used them religiously, even with sandals (they were hardly noticeable). They provided necessary relief. He recently lost one in his travels and I was delighted to find these at such a reasonable price. They are exactly the ones my brother gave him and this one came with 8! Obviously, would purchase again whenever necessary.
