The product fits well but does slip around a little bit. Also it's a bit more stiff that comfortable. Perhaps a gel support or more cushion support so it can also fit into shoes better.
This is a fine split for a turf toe. Buy more than 1 as they get dirty and need to be washed. I must have a bunion or such as it gets pulled over to the side and becomes painful with a few hours in a shoe. I need to get down to it and pull it back under the affected toe.
At first it was a little uncomfortable to wear and walking with it was a little painful, but the more I got used to it there was less pain. I don't wear it everyday, only when I know I am going to walk a lot. Definitely recommend this!
I was diagnosed with hallux rigidus about 7 years ago and when I walk for a great length of time I have experienced much pain around my big toe joint afterward. I did have a cortisone injection about a year ago but the beneficial effects have now faded and I would, for now, rather not experience the pain associated with getting the shot itself. From what I read stabilizing the joint itself is said to reduce the inflammation so I ordered this brace since I knew I could not tolerate a carbon fiber or stainless steel plate in the shoes. I put this in my sneaker one day before I walked about 2 hours and it seems to have reduced the aftermath of pain in that joint markedly. From now on if I am going on any extended treks I will be pulling this brace out to reduce joint pain after the fact. Great cost for something that works!
Very comfortable. Use it primarily to ease discomfort on my daily walks. Highly recommend!
