Question 1

what are the dimensions of this item?

Accepted Answer

One may order either "small" or "large."  The longest tip on the large measures 2"; slightly less than 1" wide at the fullest point.  The  longer small tip measures slightly less than 1 1/2 " and slightly less than 1" wide at the fullest point.  The longest tip is designed to fold to the front.  I hope this both makes sense and is helpful.  (See photos of separators.)

Question 2

how many to an order?

Accepted Answer

They actually last a long time. I have only used two so far and ordered them several months ago

Question 3

Should I use a small or larger size? I have size 12 feet and want to use between 3rd and 4th toe.

Accepted Answer

This should be an adequate size to provide cushioning. The size is fine between every toe of my size 8 feet (woman). If your big toe is starting to cross your second toe because of a bunion you would need a better spacer for that. Also available on Amazon, and I've purchased them as well.

Question 4

How thick are they?

Accepted Answer

They are about 1/8" thick.  One responder noted that they are slippery and do not stay in place, but that is not 100% accurate from my experience. Correct, they do not stay in place if you wear a very loose fitting shoe, flip-flop, sandal, etc.  The reason they work for me is that I still professionally dress every day for my job, so I still want to wear fashionable shoes.  My shoes are typically snug through the toe area.  When I put the gel separator between the affected toes and hold it in place while I put the shoe on, then the separator stays in place all day.  All I know is, I used to have shooting pain, as if hitting a nerve, whether I had shoes on or not, almost unbearable, but this has corrected the problem for me.  My podiatrist gave me the first one, but I cannot find them in any drug store.  I  think they are rather pricey, but they are washable and re-usable, which helps.  And, they WORKED for me!
