Gel Toe Stretcher & Separator

I’ve been using these for 4 months now. Bought these because I have pretty bad bunions and circulation of my toes is bad, so my toes are often red and swollen. Honestly not sure if my bunions are getting smaller (the shrink may be minuscule and not measurable by me) and same for the redness and swelling. If anything, the psychological impact of ‘thinking’ I’m doing something is comforting in itself. I wear a 5.5, have wide feet and got the small, it’s possible I should have gotten the medium as the small was hard to get on the first couple of days but now it’s easy and I don’t even notice I’m wearing them while I sit at my desk in the morning and lay on the couch in the evening (1 hour) each time. I’ve had no problem with durability, but I’m also pretty gentle with them. It’s nice that they are FSA eligible! Would recommend.

I am a yoga teacher and an avid runner and Yoga Toes are one of my favorite tools! I would not go without them! I know how important our feet are in yoga, in running and in life! After all – who wants foot pain?! You can go get all the snazzy pedicures you want, but if your feet and legs hurt – what’s the point?
Yoga toes are gentle yet effective. You might feel like it’s torture the first time – especially if your feet and toes really are tight but start out a little at a time and you will be surprised at the results! Over time the tension will subside and your feet and legs will have some relief. I would say foot pain is one of the biggest reasons people are sidelined from running. Foot pain is miserable! Do something proactive so you can feel better. Yoga helps with our toes and feet as well, and Yoga Toes reinforces this practice. I personally used to have hammer toes and a he beginnings of bunions when I first began practicing yoga. My feet steadily improved. Back then I didn’t know about Yoga Toes. Once I found them I wished I had had them sooner. It was actually my mom who introduced me to Yoga Toes and I’ve used them ever since. I run half marathons so I encounter lots of foot tightness. These have helped me prevent plantar fasciitis as well! This is one more awesome tool I recommend for your self care and stretching/ strengthening regimen! Great quality product, reasonably priced, very durable and easy to use. The gel is soft so it is not harsh on your right feet. You can even walk around with them on. Great product and gives great results if used regularly. I recommend daily if possible.

I was skeptical at first, but the first few times I wore them I could immediately feel the blood flow increase in my calves and feet. My feet noticeably had an increased color to them. My toes have curled into one another for years, really excited to wear these long term to see the true benefits.

I found these toe separators to be not quite enough to stretch my big toe and a little too much on the rest of my toes. I have bunions that just started hurting a couple of months ago so I have been looking for something to prevent them from getting worse. I do find that stretching my big toe out to straighten it has helped with my pain and found these when looking for something more purpose-driven than what I was finding around the house to put between my big toe and “index toe”. I do like the feel of these separators. They are soft silicone and have no rough edges anywhere. Unfortunately, I only need to stretch my big toe, not the rest, so these are not suited to my purposes. I found that I had to really shove to get them between my smaller toes and by the time I got to my pinky toe, it was pretty uncomfortable. I will look for something that will give me a more significant stretch for my big toe only and nothing on the rest of my toes.

My toes suck. All contorted and shoes just jam me up. But I put these on while watching movies at night and they splay open your toes as you sit there. When you remove them your toes don’t just immediately scrunch back together which is unusual. While wearing them I keep flexing my toes and working them out. This helps a lot. After removing them I massage my feet and do more toe stretches. Overall I would buy these again in a heartbeat. I wasn’t sure which ones to buy so I bought these because they really push your toes apart and I’m not looking to wear something inside my shoes all day. The size I got is supposedly SMALL and I wear a men’s 10 shoe. These fit me fine and really give me a nice stretch. I’m kind of addicted to them now which means they work.

Update. It has been a couple months since I bought these at first they were a little hard to put on since my toes were so used to being cramped in together. Now I can slip them in a lot easier. That’s a good sign. Also I can wear them for more extended periods of time with no discomfort. At first my toes ached a bit as the muscles around the toes needed to be stretched. When I wear these I flex my feet a bunch and it feels GREAT. Is is like a gym exercise for your feet and toes. Honestly I never would have guessed the impact would be this good. I really like these things and I’m certainly glad I paid the money for the REAL gemstone yoga toes because they are made really well and fit good. I wear a men’s size 10. This is the first time I have reviewed something and then come back to do an update. That should indicate to you that I actually really like these. Spend the money on yourself. You are worth it!
