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 - Large - White

I have calluses on my toe and these work well. They don’t slip off. They help with the pain and they’re not too bulky so I can wear during the day with shoes.

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 toeA pair of Darn Tough full cushion boot socksHoka One One Anacapa boots or Salomon XA Pro 3D shoes depending on the seasonSince 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!

Update: the vendor is extremely thoughtful and solicitous. Offered an immediate refund or free replacement with another product even though I never asked. Superior customer service!Original review: A gummy bear and mochi had a baby! I have a sad, damaged and painful big toenail and I jog 5-6 days a week so I need some padding/protection for it. This crazy looking thing, once trimmed, works quite well to minimize the discomfort during workouts. It doesn’t offer total relief because I still have a messed up nail, any pressure is painful (no fault of the product).After 3 uses and washes it became sticky so I dusted it inside and out with cornstarch as recommended and must do so each time from then on. So far it’s lasted with no tears or nicks for a few weeks but I have noticed a little patch of fungus developing on the skin directly next to my nail (there was none before). *So beware that this sleeve doesn’t breathe and traps moisture inside. Clean it and your toe very well after each use or you may suffer this as well.

I ordered Dr. Frederick's Original Soft Gel Toe Protectors after trying a number of other soft-gel tube-like toe protectors. I needed something that would stop my hammertoes on my both feet from painfully rubbing up against my big toes. The other brands and designs of toe protectors simply didn't work, shredded, or fit poorly. Finally, I ordered Dr. Frederick's and am so glad I did. They were easy to put on, so comfortable, and their cushioning worked very well Thank you, Dr. Frederick. FYI: I'm 5ft 11in and bought the large size.

The product works very good, I bought the medium and the small size, get a litle disapointed about the medium size because of the lenght, is exactly as the picture shows, but I will be perfect if it was longer, as the small size is.

I use these Toe Protectors mainly on my two large toes to relieve pain I was experiencing from wearing some of my shoes. It seemed my toes were hurting especially on the tops and outside area as they were rubbing against that side of the shoes. It was very painful even by wearing socks. The shoe size seemed ok, but I could not walk well with the pain. I searched for a solution and found Dr. Frederick’s Soft Gel Toe Protectors. They have worked so well for me! Easy to slip on the toes, they stay put, and no pain while wearing my shoes. It has been a great idea and help for me. So happy with this product.

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 .

Too largeIf I cut them down I can get them to work kinda
