Dr. Frederick's Original Soft Gel Toe Protectors for Men & Women - 6 ct - Toe Caps for Foot Pain Relief - Sleeves for Ingrown Toenails, Corns, Calluses, and Blisters - Medium - White

My day job is to take peoples dogs off leash pack hiking on the mountain trails around Salt Lake City, Utah every morning all year long, rain, snow or shine! Needless to say, over the last 4 years of doing this, I have put a LOT of miles on my feet, and turning 40 next month, my tootsies aren't getting any younger! The outer edges of my big toes tend to take a real beating and develop painful callouses, no matter how much I pumice and lotion and baby them when I'm not hiking. Besides hiking 3-5 miles for my day job, I'm also an avid recreational hiker and have conquered peaks like Timpanogos and Half Dome as well as long trails like The Wave, Redwood Forrest trail, golden cathedral, camelback mountain and many more in recent years and I will be hiking the Inca Trail in 3 weeks to summit Machu Picchu in Peru on my 40th birthday. I've been breaking in a new pair of boots for that trip, and decided to try these toe caps along with a new sock configuration to cut down on foot pain and I think I've hit on the winning combination! These toe caps are an absolute game changer and an integral part of my successful combo! For reference, I wear size 8.5 womens shoes and have small to average sized feet. I bought these toe caps in size medium and they fit PERFECTLY without being too loose or too tight. The ideal setup for long or steep hikes for me seems to be . . . A pair of Injiinji crew sock liners (with the individual toes) These toe caps over the top of the sock liners of each big toe A pair of Darn Tough full cushion boot socks Hoka One One Anacapa boots or Salomon XA Pro 3D shoes depending on the season Since I started using this combination I have experienced ZERO foot pain, ZERO blisters, ZERO chaffing or hot spots! I'm truly amazed at the difference in how my big toes feel after hikes now since I started wearing these and I will forever more wear them whenever I hike! They're very easy to wash after use and reuse and I love that I can wear them under or over my InjiInji liners! I seriously can't recommend these enough for people who are on their feet a lot and deal with big toe pain or callouses, or for anyone planning a big backpacking or hiking trip to take as a precaution! I will update this review after I've worn these on the Inca trail and let you know how they held up, but I'm SO excited to have found them before the trip! I sincerely hope this review has been helpful to someone else. And yes, I paid FULL PRICE for these and have now recommended them to everyone in my hiking group! Feel free to ask any questions!

My feet and hiking boots just don't get along. Never have. Big toes & nails and my pinky toes are especially prone to irritation & blisters. I've tried moleskin, all sorts of padded tape, peel-and-stick cushions - you name it. All with pretty poor results. But these work. They really work! Medium size on my big toes; Small size (trimmed a bit at the bottom) on the pinky toes. Super easy to put on and pull off. The result? No pain, no irritation, no hot spots and no blisters. They stay put - no sliding around or slipping off. After each hike I give them a quick rinse in warm water with a little soap and let them dry. Really high quality; they're built to last. Zero signs of degrading after 5 hikes. I'm one happy camper!

Love these! Both of my big toes had injury. Using these on my toes keeps the added medication in place for the full benefits. Also adds a bit of gel padding, allowing for so much comfort. The only issue I've had was keeping them in place without socks or peds on. The gel material will slide off when you try to wear them without some sort of outside covering, they grasp onto the sheets and slide off, so socks, or nylon athletic peds are a must. Definitely worth the money. Also they can get discolored, even when washed, so I've had to buy them quite often until my toes are completely healed, and I will continue to buy them afterwards, for the comfort alone.

I got both the small and medium sizes since I needed them for my big toe and smaller toes. The medium fit my big toe fine and was comfortable but by the end of the day with dress socks on it got a little uncomfortable. The small doesn't fit the little toe at all so I put it on the fourth toe, I broke my little toe two years ago and sometimes it tries to go under the fourth toe so I figured this would be okay. I had to take it off by mid morning it was quite uncomfortable with socks on even after I pulled the sock a little longer at the end so it was loose at the end of my foot. Three stars since the medium work but small do not.

These work wonders if you have composite toed shoes. They cushion the toes very well.

They are perfect for my long runs . Enough cushion and protection to keep my toes from being injured

I started a new running program and the shoe pressure caused me to lose the nail on my big toe. While the new nail grows in I have been putting bandaids on the toe daily. This product is perfect as a solution. I ordered the size Medium and it fits my toe perfectly and gives me cushioned protection while wearing shoes. The size Medium is quite large and I really can’t imagine anyone needing a size large.

I was hesitant to order these gel toe protectors after reading some reviews regarding sizing & comfort; however, I needed to do something to prevent my great toes from getting blisters and callouses from walking in my sneakers. I decided to bite the bullet and order them. I took the sizing reviews into consideration, looked at the sizing chart and measured my toe and decided on size medium for my great toes. It was a perfect fit! I’d like to think and believe that I have an average size toe for a woman. Shoe size 8.5 wide, but normal size great toe;) the product glides onto your toe, molding to your toe (similar to how a paraffin would be). I wear sneakers during the day five days a week for ten hours. I can’t even notice that I’m wearing a gel toe protector on both great toes. The only thing I noticed was that I was more comfortable and that my blisters/callouses weren’t bothering me any more!! Highly recommend!! I should have thought about getting these much soon! Don’t hesitate. I think most women would benefit from a size medium for great toes. Size small fits your other toes .

Me ha funcionado muy bien, lo voy a volver a comprar.

Prodotto ottimo. È proprio come me lo aspettavo. Protegge efficacemente l'alluce dallo strofinamento contro la scarpa e contro l'altro dito. Attenzione alla taglia. Per donna va bene la media

Pratique je fais de la danse country Je verrai à l'usage pour le moment les cours et les bals sont suspendus

Very Good item, it relief the pain in toes which occur while doing physical or sports activities. worth the purchase.

Lo compre porque tengo quebrada la uña de mi dedo gordo y quería hacer hiking y si me permitió hacerlo sin ningún tipo de molestia.
