Cooper Toes

I developed a hammer toe about a year ago. (Meaning, that's when I noticed it.) It has become increasingly painful. I've tried massaging and stretching the thing. It was pain relief, but not long-lasting.About a month ago I found some ace bandage style wraps for my toe. This was a great improvement, though I could see I would be replacing them every two weeks. Searching Amazon for a more convenient supply than my current system, I discovered Foots Love. A bit more expensive, initially, but seemingly better made with a longer life expectancy that the ace bandage discovery. I've received and have been using their toe straightener for about ten days and am quite happy with the results. The hammer toe is no longer in a constant bend, red position, but lays flat and doesn't noticeably overlap my big toe. It is very easy to use and I don't notice it nearly as much as I noticed the bent red toe. I have found that if I wear it for more than ten hours and am walking around that the item will begin to slip off the anchor toe. And that is why we give four stars rather than five.

Easy to use, simple design. Soft and comfortable, wore it barefoot, with heavy socks, and with shoes. Really did not have a problem keeping it in place. Was pleased it did not interfere with my shoes. I am using it for a crooked toe, but I was really hoping to try it on my bunion. Found the instructions for use with a bunion a bit confusing. Customer service is very responsive and helpful. While feet differ, I would recommend trying to straighten toes. Not so sure about bunions, but expect that depends on your particular foot. Overall, I like it.

I've been putting off surgery for a hammer toe. I have tried about every toe straightener there is. Foots Love are much higher quality than the others I bought trying to find a good solution. The Copper Fabric is much sturdier. I can wear these with all my most narrow-toed shoes. These are soft, and you don't really feel them on, which is nice. JUST MAKE SURE to secure the Velcro to not touch skin. These really pad and hold the toe well. Thanks !

I found these looking for a good toe separator. These are perfect. Great stretch holds well, thin and comfortable. I am a nurse and am on feet for the better part of a 12 1/2 hour shift. It does not move around , stays in place where needed while I am on my feet all day (very imp. to me) I despise stuff getting twisted or bunching up. Love them !!

This is just what the Doctor ordered. I broke my toe twice. Barefoot in Hawaii dropping my golf bag and a tire on my toe. The Doctor just looks and says no big deal. They put your arm and leg in a cast but nothing for a toe. It doesn't help I wear heavy tight steel toe boots at work. I wish I knew about this long ago when it happened. I got new wider boots for work and this should be the one /two punch to straighten the broken toe.

Even though I received my order on time a couple of weeks ago, I just tried the toe straightener yesterday for a few hours. It seemed to work fine and felt good, although I need to wear it longer and with some of my shoes. It did take me a few times to get the fit comfortable, but I think this will really help my hammer toe. The only reason I didn't give product a 5-star is because I haven't used it long enough or with shoes.

These little pieces of elastic with Velcro ends fall off inside your socks or in bed at night and often get lost. If I made them any tighter I’d be cutting off my circulation!

I'm certain the developers intent was positive but as with most things designed for human anatomical anomalies we were not all created the same (thank the Lord). I did some research on copper infused items and was disappointed to learn copper does not correct anything. Copper (Cu) is a chemical element which can hinder pain receptors in the human body. However, according to several sources including the Mayo Clinic, the end result can be worse since nothing is corrected. I'm certain the intent was having the toe straightener align with the next toe which is straight. This is the case in my situation but after so many years, I was not willing to put up with the discomfort since without the unit I have no pain. In addition, there is no known method (as of 2018) for correcting hammer toes. Surgery is very painful and only 13-20% successful according to two dermatologists and chiropodists I visited and two surgeons I have as personal friends. As I initially inferred, the human body differs from person to person so the reader should understand this is only my personal opinion and not based on a professional assessment. Thanks for reading.
