Customer Review: Happy Feet Once Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just discovered these little wonders a few weeks ago and didn't realize they were sold on Amazon until just now. I bought the more expensive version straight from their website. But I decided to post my review here as well, to echo my comments that, much to my amazement, they really do work! I am confident that the ones sold here, based on all the other reviews, are just as good as the more expensive version.
I've worn mine for two weeks now, and I'm still amazed at how I can notice progress each day, not only in my toes becoming more aligned, but more importantly, the chronic foot pain diminishing more each day!
I use lotion just before and they slip right on with no problem. After the initial discomfort of the first few days subsided, I wanted to wear them longer than 10 - 15 minutes, but didn't like walking on my bare floors with bare feet (unless they have just been mopped), didn't like that the gel material "picks up everything" as others have said, and didn't like the sheets and blankets catching on them in bed, as I have also read about elsewhere. But I found a solution!
I had a pair of hospital booties tucked in a drawer for eons and dug them out. They are loose enough to fit perfectly, with room to spare, and they solve ALL of the problems! I don't have to worry about my bare feet getting dirty, the gel material picking up stuff, or sticking to the bed linens. So now I can wear them overnight, or for longer hours during the day, which I do, and the extra time has really helped to speed up the noticeable improvement in my toe alignment and diminishing foot pain.
I've bought some extra booties since then, and I keep one pair just for wearing to bed and another pair for walking around in. I hand-wash them every few days, and so far, they're holding up fine, but I do expect to have to dispose of them eventually. I've decided I can live with replacing the disposable booties once or twice a month for the extra convenience they ad. I'm pretty handy with a sewing machine, so I've also contemplated using the booties as a pattern and making my own machine-washable booties out of cheap (and comfy) flannel or something similar, which would be more economical.
I see from the reviews that, sadly, the toe stretchers haven't worked for everyone. But for the small investment, I would encourage you to go for it - there is a very high probability you will be just as amazed and happy as the rest of us! Good luck!

Customer Review: An end to almost all of my foot pain.
Summary: 5 Stars
My toes were nearing death. I had ankle pain, pain in the soles of my feet and pain in all toes. I didn't know what to do, I told myself I have no time for foot care and concentrated healing and therapy. I read the reviews on Amazon and thought, oh wait, this (again) is a cure for people who have foot aches alien to mine. I avoided buying for five days but when the pain got really bad, I just expedited the delivery.
The packaging contains nothing but the two toe-soles and a small blue sheet of paper with instructions, the kind you read once and throw away.
I wear leather shoes with narrow noses. I walk more than a minimum of two miles everyday and walk more on weekends. I am your aggressive walker who likes to overtake everyone on the walk. I stand a lot because I am a salesman. I wore these the very first day and it caused nothing but pain for six minutes when I decided I had had enough of it and I slept. The manual clearly mentions that this will happen.
But lo and behold, on the walk to work, the pain had halved. I wore these for longer durations - sometimes keeping a gap of 2-3 days - sometimes even four days but I just had to wear them for 30 minutes every day and everything would be good.
I use it while watching a movie at home, whenever I feel like rewarding myself with a bath tub, when I'm surfing the internet and lying on my couch. These help to re-align your bones and if used a few times eliminates 85% of the pain no matter how bad it is.
Customer Review: Relief at last!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been suffering with heel spurs since Sept. 2007. I went to the doctor and got arch supports, I also had physical therapy for over a month. I used the night splint and the Straussberg sock. I tried toe exercises, calf stretches and massage. I have also been taking Ezorb calcium supplements. Not one of these methods provided as much relief as 5 minutes using the Healthy Toes Stretchers.
They were hard to get on at first, then I used some lotion. I used them 5-10 minutes the first night. The next day I was able to walk comfortably for the first time in 7 months! I over-did the treadmill, getting in the recommended 10,000 steps for the day so the pain did come back. I used the Healthy Toes Stretchers again that night and felt instant relief. I now carry them with me and use them at work for a few minutes at a time.
I am telling all my friends about them and orders some gifts. I think they are great!
Customer Review: Small problem - simple solution & I love my Yoga Toes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been amazed that Yoga Toes have actually helped my curling inward (comma shaped) hammer toes. Within a few days my feet felt sooooo much better and my toes were markedly straighter.... PROBLEM PROBLEM PROBLEM: After putting the wet Yoga Toes on, when I got into bed the bed sheets tended to pull them back off my toes. Just the slightest drag of the sheet prevented me from turning on my side.... SOLUTION: I keep two flimsy shower caps in my night stand. I slip them over my feet and now I can easily move around in bed. (These shower caps are the free-bees you are given in motels along with shampoo & soap.).... I paid $49.99 for my Yoga Toes and would gladly recommend them even at that price; but I see they are now considerably cheaper. Lucky you!!! I wear a woman's size 11 shoe and am very happy with the Yoga Toes womens "small". I'm not sure if a woman with a significantly smaller foot would find that size comfortable.Customer Review: Love 'em
Summary: 5 Stars
Thse little things are great. I've been "spreading my toes" as instructed in my yoga classes already, so these are pretty easy to get on dry. (The instructions mention that wetting them may ease the transition onto your toes). I pop them on at night, reading in bed, removing them before turing out the light. They are a gel material. If a person's toes are tight, it is possible to just get these onto the tips of your toes. As your toes stretch and get used to wearing these, it's possible to move the stretchers lower in between your toes to maximize the stretching.
Don't try to walk in them. It's very uncomfortable and unstable.
