Dr. Frederick's Original Open Toe Sleeves | Half Toe Sleeve Metatarsal Pads | 4 Pieces | Ball of Foot Cushions | Great for Calluses and Blisters | for Men and Women | Perfect for High Heel Shoes

These toe things are AMAZING! Let me tell you my typical (bad) choice in footwear: I'm a young woman, love stylish shoes. However, still in school and there are a lot of hills and I am walking around from 9am-12midight. So that's a lot of time on my feet! STORY: And guess what my favorite style shoes are: white vans, brown boots with 2in heel I've had for 4 years (they are worked in quite a bit), and B.P. boots. Vans? Not too bad, got at least 1in of cushioning but since I've had them for 4months now they are flattened and I can feel the texture of bumpy ground and it is hard at the end of the day my feet are definitely sore. IF there was a pebbly ground you would know you are stepping on something that isn't smooth. Brown boots that I love so much? Yeah the heel of this thing is fine, supported no problem. But the front of my foot? Exactly where the gel insoles cover in the picture? Maybe 2cm of thinned out plastic/wood stuff and my metatarsals are KILLER at the end of the day oh my gosh. But I can't stop wearing them just because my feet hurt. If there was a pebbly ground you know that your feet are balancing on top of each pebble and it hurts a bit. Worst part, red B.P. boots are my favorite and have the LEAST support of all they are the worst for long days at school! Ouch, so bad, so painful...but they go with my nice clothes. My nike's don't flatter my dresses you know. If there was pebbly ground, these shoes have such low support I feel like my feet go in EVERY SINGLE GROOVE of the pebbles and the pebbles are sharpened as my skin has to step on them. Without shoes it would probably feel better, but we wear shoes in society! RESULT: These half toe sleeves..just wore them today, are beautiful. Maybe there are other products that can help, but I tried these and I recommend all of you do the same. It's definitely a great buy. And I don't know these people I just saw a bunch of products and decided to pick these and OH MY GOD the payoff is amazing. They are made of the most adorably soft gentle squishy texture you just want to play with it in your hands its like thin squishy blanket that molds to you. And I have smallish feet, size 7, but these things could definitely fit any size foot guarantee. The material is very stretchy and the way it shapes is like this: one big toe socket and another socket to hold the rest of toes both fit snugly but there is some wiggle room and be reminded, it stretches. The biggest hole where you stick your foot in is angled outward in such a way that I fit VERY comfortably inside (size 7) but the opening still had flapping outward space that I'm sure is room for bigger feet than my own. This is great! Anyone can buy these. I promise I put these on immediate squishy heaven comfort in the worst B.P. shoes I was telling you about. I might be able to tell I'm stepping on pebbles but I have such a nice squishy thing that so delicately encases and supports my metatarsal area (in picture) that I could wear my shoes all day!! No more choosing plain outfits because I can wear my least supportive shoes now, because they are extremely well supported with these awesome toe sleeves! No more sad pain when I go home and my feet want to kill me, I can just relax from normal walking pain! Buy them you people. No regrets with this girl!

These do not stay on the foot. I walk every morning for exercise and before the first half mile was over the slipped off the end of my feet and balled up underneath my toes. I thought about using athletic tape to hold them in place, but over the next two weeks I couldn’t get the athletic tape in any configuration I could think of to hold these on my feet and by the end of the 1st mile the head slipped off the end of my feet and balled up under my toes. So I thought I’ll use duct tape, because we all know there’s nothing duck tape can’t fix… Or so I thought. As it turns out not even mighty duck tape wrapped all the way around my foot can hold these pads in place and by the end of the 1st mile and a half they had slipped off my feet and balled up under my toes.

The gel like substance these are made from is both a positive and a negative. It feels cheap, like I won't get very many uses out of these things. I've worn them 4 times, with different results each time. The gel does not stay in place very well. You get it on your foot, and have to carefully stretch your sock over your foot, so it doesn't grab the rubber and roll it down. I am not very successful at this. Once I had issues with my left foot, once my right. The area over the pinky toe part of the foot was rolling down with my sock and creating a roll that became an irritation over the course of my shift at work. I had to strip my foot down, to fix it. The third time, neither foot was comfortable, at all. I still don't know what happened. I took them off, and put them in my locker. So finally the fourth night, it was ok. Nothing too great or too bad. When I took off my socks that night, I discovered the right one was half stretched down my foot. I don't think I will wear them again. I need something a little more sturdy and less movable, so they will stay where they are all night without rolling under my socks. On a more positive note, when they were on, they were fairly comfortable. Squishy soft. My feet liked them. My callous on the side of my foot felt better. I just don't think they are what I am looking for.

AMAZING!!! I didn't use this for blisters or bunions. I broke my pinky toe and the toe next to it. I couldn't tape my toes together, because I have small toes and the tape just wouldn't hold them together. But I found these, and I said, it just might work. I've been using them for a week now. They are so comfortable. It protects my toes from the inside of the shoe. It's silicone, so it has a nice soft feeling. It hasn't irritated my skin. It's not hot or to tight, and doesn't make my foot sweat. It does lose its fitting if worn all day, 24 7. So I take it off and adjust it. But it's perfect for me. I also applied a sports flex tape around it, over my foot, just for added thickness and support of keeping the silicone on, keeping it in place because of my broken toes. Then I put my sock on. I'm definatly buying more. It really relieves the pressure of walking on my foot. It's helping me so much. I don't have to use that big heavy medical support boot now.

Right now these are my favorite foot pads, which I wear because of calluses on the ball of my foot. They are much better than the toe-ring pads that were too thin and floppy. These have a graduated thickness which is thick on the ball of the foot but thins out as it goes higher up the foot. And because they surround the foot, they also help with my Tailor's bunion as well--that's a bonus because I was just going after callus relief when I purchased these. The gel pad is very comfortable in all areas and because it's low cut on the top of the foot, you can wear them with shoes that have a low throat. They are easy to clean too--I just take mine in the shower and rinse them off. Because they are made completely of gel, you can just pat them dry. The pads I favored before these had an ace bandage around the foot and the ace bandage took longer to dry. While these have a graduated thickness, I still wish they were just slightly thicker on the ball of the foot. They are acceptably comfortable, but not quite as comfortable as my former ace bandage pads. Sometimes the gel pad would roll up when I put on my socks, but I wear very snug fitting socks in all areas except the toe, To prevent this, I've started putting on my socks toe-first. Let me explain: I turn the sock inside out and feed the toe of the sock over my toes and then up the rest of my foot (this turns the sock it right side out). Since the toe of my socks don't have tight-fitting elastic, I can get them over the gel pad without them tugging against the pad. By the time I get it the tight part of the sock (arch upward) I am past the toe area. I've only worn these for a week, so I don't know about their durability. It would take at least a month to evaluate durability. I have noticed an indentation (compressed pad) on the pad where my callus is, but this also occurred on the thick pads I formerly wore--I just don't know that it occurred the first week. I wear the pads about 12-14 hours a day and about half of that is standing on my feet. Like I said, almost perfect. Wish they made a deluxe model with a thicker pad. Then my and my feet would finally be happy.

It is just ok. They don’t fit great but will work. They buckle on the side of my sandals, which is quite visible. They provided a little relief, but not as the description stated.

Yes, that’s what I said. I do circuit strength training at the gym. Even though I would wear padded gloves (open finger tips)) when pushing /pulling arm weight machines, my palms would hurt. I have eliminated palm pain by a 1-2-3 process. First, I put on thin compression gloves (open finger tips). Second, I put on the metatarsal pad. I fit the big toe part of the metatarsal pad over the thumb and fit the larger opening over the other 4 fingers with the thick gel pad fitting across my palm. Third…I put on the padded gym glove and I’m all set. Almost like open finger tipped boxing gloves 😂. Its been a game changer for me knowing that my hands won’t hurt when it’s time to workout. I hope this helps someone out there…

Update - Though this product did t work for me, I was genuinely surprised when I received a message from the company saying they wanted to give me a full refund. I really appreciate when companies care about their products and their customer service. It goes a long way with me. So I gave them 5 stars for great customer service. I would recommend trying because if it doesn't work for you, this company will work with you to give you complete satisfaction and a full refund. This product isn't great at all. I have both bunions and tailor bunions on both feet. I have to buy multiple products just to wear any pair of shoes. I always buy larger size shoes to help with the width. I bought these and I have to say they are very disappointing. They are very flimsy and move a lot. They don't cover your feet well. I am a size 7.5 and wear 8.5 for reference. These do not protect your feet. I end up getting blisters and my skin is raw and painful even though I have these on my feet. Cheap and not durable or helpful. I have some other ones that are cloth material and go over your feet but cover your toes. They work. It's too bad these don't because I wanted ones that don't cover my feet for open-toed shoes. I don't recommend.

These are great, I have spina bifida, I need foot aids all the time, I love the soft gel these are made of, very comfortable on the foot, and the cut makes it looser around the sides, so they don't scrunch the toes together, similar products are made of firmer harder materials and usually become uncomfortable after a few hours of wearing, these give a good amount of cushioning to the bottom of the foot and I wear them all day, they stay in place so i do not have to keep adjusting them. I also purchased the gel heel protectors which were equally as fantastic as these. Would thoroughly recommend.

Grundsätzlich ist es eine gute Ware. Anfangs eine riesen Erleichterung, polstert sofort empfindliche Stellen ab und man kann gut laufen damit. Nach ein paar Stunden hab ich dann allerdings Schmerzen an den Füßen bekommen uns es fühlte sich eingeengt an.Für breitere Füße würde ich sie nicht empfehlen. Ansonsten finde ich das Produkt sehr gut.

Hoy las he usado por primera vez para una ruta de senderismo de más de ocho horas y el resultado es perfecto!!! Mis pies llegaron sin ampollas ni molestias como solía sucederme antes así que las recomiendo al cien x cien 😀😀😀

It is not very comfortable and your feet sweat when you put these in your shoes.

Conforme à la description. Bon produit. Je les ai déjà essayés. Je suis contente de mon achat pour l'instant. A voir dans le temps.
