first time use
I have problems with my left foot and my toes are always in pain. The first time I used these it was actually pretty comforting, for about five minutes. Then my toes started becoming sore. So what I've done it i've used them every day in small time frames. Some Days i'm in more paid than others so I will use them more often to help release some of that pain. In my case the pain doesn't go away but it does give my toes a good yoga workout and stretches them which can't be a bad thing anyway, and it also helps with the discomfort that I fell. Would I buy them again, in a heartbeat! Wished I had bought them sooner. Just when you first get them.... use baby steps. Also, don't push them all the way down your toes. Start at the tip of your toes and with each day you can move farther down. Find your own comfort zone.

Great Yoga Toes
These are the first pair I have ever ordered. I have been using them every night and they are sturdy and easily washable. I am a size 11 in women and they fit my feet perfectly. My daughter wears a size 5 in women and she can wear the pair that fit between your toes (like a pedicure) but not the circle ones (they are too big). I have found that the pedicure style yoga toes actually stretch my feet more than the other style. I would purchase again.

My curled painful toes can finally say "Ahhh!"
For me, this was a perfect find! I first looked into "Yoga Toes," but then happily discovered DR JK Toe Stretchers! The price is very economical and it comes with two styles of stretchers. Both my physical and occupational therapists were equally impressed and have already recommended them to other clients. They really do "strech" to fit any size toe or foot size. I purchased them because after developing a neurological disease similar to M.S., my toes curled into painful constant spasms. They were impeding my balance and all around comfort level. After only two weeks of wearing the over-the-toe stretchers (which Yoga Toes does not come with), they are already beginning to relax and straighten. What a huge relief! I can only wear them for an hour at a time and it can take a moment to get on around my curled toes, but once I do, it is such a feeling of relief. I see these being helpful for situations like mine, for arthritis and other medical conditions, or just to relieve tired and aching feet after a long day! I am so grateful I discovered DR JK Toe Stretchers, and I think you will be too!

This really works!
I love the product after just a few days of use! I purchased this item for two reasons. My right foot has multiple problems, finding comfortable shoes is an ongoing challenge and I live with discomfort and pain most every day. My problems include a bunion, a healed and now calcified metatarsal fracture at the base of the second toe as well as a Morton’s neuroma. The fractured toe will not straighten and completely flatten out and as a result the bony prominence at the joint near the end of the toe creates pressure when it rubs against the bony area on the adjacent toe where callous has also formed and creates even more pressure and pain. All of this interferes with my ability to balance and I am less steady on my feet. I have tried various toe protectors, bunion pads, realignment aids, padding, etc. with limited, and usually only temporary, relief. In addition I took up yoga and have been working on foot strength, alignment and mobility despite the challenges with pain and balance. I put the Dr JK toe separator on my right foot the first time and wore it for a couple hours in complete comfort! I was amazed how comfortable it was while wearing and for the 24-48 hours after wearing! Since the first use I have worn sneakers, closed toe shoes, sneakers, slippers and sandals with minimal discomfort. I am thrilled so far and am now wearing the separators around the house both with and without footwear! I am eager to try out the toe spacer gels as well!

Not good for bedtime b/c it sticks to the sheets - Update
Have been wearing the smaller one at nighttime to help correct a bunion and third toe moving over into the 2nd toe space. It is too early to tell if it'll help, but plan on wearing them consistently to bed. The larger one, I wear when at home - barefoot. Not good for bedtime b/c it sticks to the sheets. Update: Hi: You have to remember that it took years for the damage to your toes, and may there was discomfort as well. It will take some time to correct. I purchased these as well as Original ToePal, Toe Separators and Toe Streightener for Relaxing Toes, Bunion Relief, Hammer Toe and more for Women and Men Initially, I ordered the yoga gems and these. I was going to return the yoga gems because of the discomfort of wearing the and lack of results. But, then decided to hold off. I started with wearing the toe separators from the order (ones that look like the spa ones) when watching TV at night. When my toes felt comfortable wearing those I switched to the yoga gems during that time and wore the toes separators when I went to sleep (separator worn upside down). I gradually worked up to 4 hours of yoga gems followed by 4-8 hrs of bedtime toe separators. I have noticed a gradual change in my toes. My 3rd toe was going into my 2nd due to wearing shoes that were too narrow. Now, my 3rd toe is starting to move back in place. I've been doing all of this now for several months, and will continue for several more. I found the toe straightener was not good for me due to my thin toes... Read More

These work!
These release a lot of tension in my feet. They also keep my toes aligned, because they just kind of remind the muscles that straight is straight and curving toward my big toe isn’t behaving…. My toes are behaving now!!!!! In fact, if I keep using these, I won’t have deformed feet when I’m 70! Using these after I do my yoga stretches, I can really feel the difference. I won’t go without these and will give them as stocking stuffers!!!!!!

Give it time and your toes will get used to the stretching!
In the package is two pairs of toe separators. I tried the one that surrounded each toe first. My ability to wear them lasted about an hour. After that all my toes started hurting..I removed them, went to sleep. Next morning tried the other style...the one that doesn't go over the top... just divides the toes. Those were more difficult to place but I think they felt better. I lasted about an hour wearing those....after which my toes started hurting between my toes. Not used to the pressure on the inside of every toe. After a day, I could wear each of these stretchers longer. And then even longer, maybe two to three hours. And so, I feel my toe muscles got used to the stretch because this stretch is simply an unnatural one. For anyone who can't tolerate these stretchers from the very first try, I would think there might not be much of a chance they'd ever work...but if you can get your toes to stretch and hold that stretch for a short while, in my experience, you can build up to longer uses. And I have to say I like these things. I once owned the more expensive yoga version which was a much stiffer material and they hurt so bad I eventually got rid of them. These are soft and pliable....comfortable at the beginning...but my feet tire of the stretch and start hurting no matter how many times I've used them. As for walking and wearing them....easier with the ones that don't fully surround the toes. No they don't fit in any shoes....and probably would never try sleeping with them... Read More

Great!
I've only tried the smaller, open set. I time for 10 minutes as I cannot go longer than that. I sure have noticed it helping in the little time I've used them. I was having trouble with my toes on my left foot after an injury and hoping this will correct them and keep them straight so I can avoid the future ruined toes that I know I will deal with because of genetics :) Love that these can be washed if needed. Yoga has also been easier.

Just what the Dr. ordered
Had to laugh the first time I saw toe separators but after logging 100 of miles running my toes started to bunch together and the pinky toe was starting to move under the next toe over. After a few a few hours with these my toes have started to spread out like you would want for great yoga postures. I'd totally buy again and have recommended them to friends

Convenient way to stretch
I bought these because there an efficient way to stretch the toes. And yoga we interlaced the toes in the fingers but that can be hard in the hands. You can use these while stretching or watching TV or whatever. If your days are spent in shoes, even wide ones, they can get a little cramped.
