Question:
Can the toe loops be used for fractured or sprained fingers?
Answer:
Interesting question. I would say that in an emergency the wide toe loops would work well to buddy splint two fingers together until medical help could be accessed. I will definitely add a couple of these to my First Aid Kit. Thanks for the tip!

Question:
I have been diagnosed with hammer toes. On one foot the toes can still bend, but on the other, they cannot. Would this product be a good fit for me?
Answer:
For the toes that can still bend the 3pp Toe Loops would be a good choice. For the toes that no longer bend I would recommend one of our Hammer Toe Crest Pads.

Question:
Are they reuseable or do you have to use another one if take it off to shower or such?
Answer:
The 3pp Toe Loops are easily removed and can be reused often. They have a velcro closure, so you can put them on and take them off each day.
Question:
I have overlapping toes. My second toe overlaps the big toe on my right foot. What is the difference between the 3 point toe loops and the digit wraps? And, which would be better for my condition? Thank you.
Answer:
Both of these products act as splints for 2 toes. The 3 point Toe Loop is a bit more adjustable and gives you the ability to snug up the velcro strap as much as necessary. It also comes in 2 widths. The Digit Wrap has a bit more padding, and it's velcro area is smaller, making it a bit harder to adjust.
Question:
My second toe crosses my big toe. I am attempting to strengthen the muscles in my foot but this is getting my third toe closer to the second, creating a "squeeze" on #2 and a gap between #'s 3&4. Can I buddy 3to4 and 1to2 simultaneously? Would a bunion splint work better on the 1to2 condition? The big toe curves ever-so-slightly to the inside at the nail.
Answer:
Take a peek at our double toe straightener. Using the double toe straightener on the 2nd and 3rd toes would be a better way to control the drift of the digits. The To Loops are good for a single digit but I don't think that'd be the case as you've described.
Question:
How do I know whether to order narrow or wide?
Answer:
The narrow is a bit smaller-with a width of 1 inch,and the wide one is 1 1/2 inches wide. Typically, the wide is for the big toe, and the narrow for the lessor toes.
Question:
I had bunion surgery on both feet. As a result I now have hallix varus deformity where the big toe is pulled away from the rest of the toes. My podiatrist suggested bunion splints but they don't have any that pull the toes together. If I get the wide larger toe loops can I loop them to the toes next to them? Thank you for any response.
Answer:
The wide Toe Loops are 4 inches long, but I am not sure that is enough to splint your 1st and 2nd toes to your 3rd toe. However, it could splint your 1st toe to your 2nd toe, as it is designed to be worn on 2 toes. You might want to try creating your own splint with some Co-flex Bandage, which you could cut to length to create your own customized splint.
Question:
Can you arrange a Toe Straightener or any other aid for Claw Toe (right foot) for a 3 years old child?
Answer:
The 3pp Toe Loops only come in Narrow and Wide, and are both probably too big for a child that small. I would suggest using a toe splint that you can cut to size, such as our Co-flex Bandage.
