I have been searching, and purchasing, numerous products for my toes/feet alignment after bunion surgery. Nothing has worked, money down the drain, until I found Correct Toes - they are the Best! The medium fits perfect (women's size 11.5-12). Correct Toes are a quality product, easy to put on, feel amazing, and leave my feet feeling great! I can sleep and walk in them comfortably - I will be purchasing more pairs! Thank you for a product that really works! Would love a price point closer to $30-$40. (Posted on 3/10/2021)

My 2nd Pair & The Best Customer Service Review by Jeannette

Quality

I ordered my second pair of Correct Toes. The first pair lasted over two years with constant wear. I try to wear them 24 hours a day. I have ugly bunions on both feet and Correct Toes are slowly improving them. It is not a fast process but so much better than the alternative. Some days I am wearing a shoe that doesn't work and some nights I take them off for a break. I had sent an email regarding the new purchase and didn't get a response so I sent a nasty email. I was wrong - they did not receive my first mail. Instead of sending a rude mail back Joselyn Terry sent me the nicest email. The best customer service I have ever experienced. I will order a third pair when these wear out. (Posted on 6/9/2020)

Recently bought a pair of correct toes from lems because I suffer from bunions and claw toes. I'm only 17 and I can testify that I have messed up feet because of my dad has them and also from wearing "good shoes" for almost my entire life. I will be buying more products soon. If they brought down the price a little bit I think more people living on a budget fund would buy them to help correct their deformed feet, just a recomendation. (Posted on 3/11/2020)

Hardly ever worn, does not stay in place Review by Niki

I bought these in March 2019. I have Tailor's bunion on both feet and found Correct toes online. I bought after reading the reviews, thinking these would help.
I have hardly worn them as they are hard to keep in place and always slips out of my toes. I bought small after going through size chart.
Once in a while I'll try to put these on thinking it work this time, but never does. They slip out especially from my pinky toes for which purpose I bought. Keeping them on is an effort too. Really disappointed.

Hi Niki,

We offer a 30-day-no-worries return policy, with a 90-day materials warranty if they split or break during use. You may also return Correct Toes within 30 days, even if they have been used or modified. If you are ever experiencing difficulties or seeking assistance with wearing and fitting Correct Toes®, you can always contact us anytime at info@correcttoes.com.

Sometimes the sizing chart isn't as accurate as we hope, because traditional shoe sizes don't take into account the width of the foot at the toes, which is one of the reasons why we offer a 30 day return policy. We might suggest placing a shim (small piece of material such as shoe liner) in the pinky toe pylon (https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/tips-and-how-tos/shims/), wearing toe socks under the Correct Toes®, wearing a traditional sock over the Correct Toes®, or any other types of modifications that may help to better custom fit the Correct Toes® to your feet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BuV1ZOTdFc&t=). Again, feel free to reach out to info@correcttoes.com for any further assistance or questions you may have.

Painful Review by D.Walker

I bought this in hopes of correcting two mallet toes that give me grief when I run farther than a few miles.

The devices are hard, uncomfortable, and painful after only 15 minutes. I also bought the recommended toe socks. Wearing the socks under the devices didn’t help with the discomfort.

I have running shoes with an extra wide toe base, and still cannot fit these comfortably inside of them.

Total rip off, in my opinion.

-------------------------------------

Hi D. Walker,

Our apologies that your pair of Correct Toes® was uncomfortable for you. We often suggest modifications (https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/modifications-for-your-feet/) to help customize Correct Toes® to your unique feet and to help them fit inside Correct Toes Approved™ shoes. While some shoe companies advertise "wide" shoes and toe boxes, we absolutely recommend people to wear shoes from our Correct Toes Approved™ list (https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/shoe-list/correct-toes-approved-shoes/). Additionally, we offer a full refund within 30 days if you would like to reach out to us at info@correcttoes.com.

Correct toes have helped me tremendously. I no longer have heal pain. However, I am already on my second pair
of correct toes since they seem to come apart too easily. I wish they were built with stronger material. Additionally,
the price of $65 is too expensive, especially in today's economy where people don't have too much money to spare. (Posted on 9/4/2019)

The quality of the product is good but they are very uncomfortable to wear in every shoe that I have. If i buy another pair, then they are too big for my feet. I didn’t see a change in my feet after two months of wear. My toes overlap, and I have seen nothing change, idk..And now I cannot get a refund because I am way past the return period because I wanted to give the product another. shot There are definitely some cheaper, affordable options out there but just do research and read reviews.

-------------------------------------

Hi mc,

It it important to choose footwear that is flat and widest at the ends of the toes. Please see our Shoe List for approved brands and styles that are compatible with Correct Toes®. Correct Toes® are a great tool to assist in realigning toes and foot bones, but minimal progress can be made if shoes with a narrow toe box are consistently worn. Foot and toe rehabilitation will often additionally require strengthening and stretching exercises to facilitate the rehabilitation process. These exercise videos can be found in our Video Library under the Foot Help section. Thanks for trying Correct Toes®, we hope this helps!

Great product! Review by AZmom

I had broken my 2nd toe 40 years ago and it healed okay until I had buildup on the break. Last year I had surgery to fix the toe which helped considerably but then my toe was still being aggravated by my big toe leaning towards it due to a bunion that I had surgery on, but later the bunion kinda came back. I tried correct toes and it has made such a difference in how my toes feel. I wear them a lot at night and in my Lems. I also just wear them barefoot around the house. The correct toes also made my neuroma go away because my toes were separated. The price might seem high at first but the results are well worth the money, plus the quality of the product is excellent. $65 is an inexpensive fix when you are suffering from foot pain! Highly recommend! (Posted on 7/10/2019)

The best solution to my foot problem Review by Jose Unamuno

Quality
Price

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with inflammation of the fifth metatarsal on my left foot. I was prescribed custom-made inserts (they cost $300). I ordered them thinking they would fix my problem, and they did (for a little bit of time). I wore them for over a year and, pretty much, got used to the thought of living with foot pain. Fast forward to four months ago. I got a terrible pain in the ball of my foot on my second metatarsal (left foot again). I went back to my orthopedic doctor and he diagnosed me with hammertoe on the second toe, which was also causing metatarsalgia. He sold me another pair of orthotics ($45) and told me to buy a pair of Hoka One One running shoes ($99) and Ooofos ($50). He put me on prednisone and told me that I was probably never going to be able to walk barefoot again; he also said that the last resort was surgery. I bought everything he said, took the medicine, and...the pain did not go away, it didn't even improve. I started doing research on how to ameliorate the condition and came across this website. I read some reviews and watched some of the videos where I was introduced to conservative care and the use of Correct Toes (CT). I pulled the trigger and bought them together with the metatarsal pads (Pedag). I also saw the post of a person who posted her x-rays before CT and 4 months later and was impressed by her improvement. As soon as I started wearing CT, I experienced improvement, so much so that I wore them for longer than recommended. I have been wearing them for over a month and the improvement has been fantastic. I still experience discomfort, but my foot feels much better than it did with other treatments; the best part is that it continues to feel better. I currently wear Crocs (the ones made to work in kitchens), and I bought a pair of Xeroshoes (Hanah) and they have been wonderful while wearing CT. Let's just finish by saying that I'm a fan and satisfied customer. (Posted on 3/21/2019)

Very happy to find these... Review by Kate M

I just got them, have only worn them once (inside my new Vivobarefoot shoes), and anticipate great success with them. I practice Iyengar yoga and have been improving the toe spread between my big and 2nd toe for the last several years, and have used "YogaToes" and like them but they can't be used while walking/exercising. I believe these will help me obtain better balance and increase toe spread and help correct the damage I've done to my feet wearing shoes that were too small and high heels. While I see no reason these will not hold up over time used and cared for as suggested, I notice a seam between the toes and it is slightly more raised in some areas. I am extremely sensitive, however, and doubt most people would notice it. Only time wearing them will tell if it is a problem for me, but that is why the four stars for quality. If they perform as promised, the price is/will prove they are a great value. (Posted on 9/8/2018)

A miracle! Review by Barbara

Quality
Price

I used to love to walk and do things with my kids. Then I started to develop plantar fasciitis, bunions, and hammer toes. I was in excruciating pain all the time. I had a multitude of cortisone shots and several pairs of $350 orthotics. I did stretching exercises every day. I bought $200 sneakers like the podiatrist recommended and wore them all the time. I taped my toes like the doctor said. When I reached the point when I could no longer walk due to the pain, I scheduled surgery to correct my plantar fasciitis and bunions. As a last ditch effort, my husband looked online for a cure that would help. He found correct toes and I wore them everyday for the three weeks preceding my scheduled surgery. My feet improved so much that I cancelled the surgery. Five years later, my feet feel perfect. I have absolutely no pain. Even on days when I choose not to wear them, my feet feel great. I recommend them to everyone I meet who complains about foot pain. When my daughter had to have her warts removed, our podiatrist could not believe the improvement I had made. However, when he left the room one of his employees asked me where to get the miracle cure. I guess podiatrists will never recommend this amzing device because it would put them out of business. For those people who want to buy the cheap ones for painting your nails, you can't walk on them because they are too fat on the bottom. As for the other products out there, most of them go around your big toe which makes them harder to fit into shoes. Don't settle for the knockoffs! Get the best! You won't regret it.

For sure the use of Correct Toes helps you to live a better life.
A lower price would make them more affordable for many people.

One year review: They work! Review by Tokyo_Toes

Quality
Price
Value

When I purchased these a year ago, I remember reading a lot of reviews and being a bit frustrated about not finding any long-term wearers to tell me if they actually work! So, here goes. I bought these a year ago. To be clear, I also switched to zero-drop natural footshape footwear at that time (Lems, Vivobarefoot, and Drifter Leather for everyday shoes and hiking, Altras for running, and SoftStar for house slippers) paired with five finger socks (Injinji and ToeSox). Yes, this was expensive to replace all my shoes and socks! However, I realized I was getting a bunion on my right foot and in the year leading up to this, had started getting corns on the third and fourth toes on both feet. My mom has terrible feet and multiple foot surgeries, and I didn't want to end up with the same problems if I could avoid it! After wearing Correct Toes with Lems a few weeks, I noticed more space between my toes. Within the first three months, my third and fourth toes straightened back out and I stopped getting corns altogether. The beginning of the bunion hasn't progressed at all. The joint is still a bit larger than the other foot (to be expected, as a bunion is a deformity of the joint), but my big toe is in correct alignment. If I wasn't looking at my feet carefully, knowing I had a noticeable bunion starting a year before, I probably wouldn't notice the difference. I have absolutely no pain, pressure, swelling or redness in that joint like I did before. For the first 6 months or so, I wore the Correct Toes 24/7. After 6 months, I stopped wearing them at night because if when they shifted out of place, it would wake me up and I had to fix them. If you need to add splints (I did), expect it to be a little uncomfortable at first. My little toe has always leaned into my fourth toe at a steep angle. When I first put the splint between those toes, I would get a burning sensation (you are stretching ligaments after all) so I would slip off my shoes to alleviate the pressure and take the Correct Toes out for an hour or so for a break. The discomfort does pass! As mentioned above, I am a runner. I wear these while running (4-5 miles a day) and even wore them for a 1/2 marathon this year. When I first started wearing them while running, I would sometimes get blisters at the tops of my toes. Yes, this feels as weird as it sounds. But, it didn't take too long before my body adjusted and I didn't get blisters there anymore. As runners often get gross looking feet from pounding away at them, I really appreciate that these are keeping my toes in correct alignment! Most of the time, these are very comfortable. I don't even notice them anymore. In sum, there is some adjustment to them. Do not be afraid to modify them to your feet (for example, I had to cut away a bit from the underside of them between my fourth and fifth toes, as it was pinching when I first bought them). They last really well. Even with constant wear, including a lot of running, this pair lasted a year. I just had to buy a replacement now - which is what reminded me to write this! I highly recommend them. (Posted on 10/31/2017)

I am 52. I ran for decades with orthotics for flat feet and stopped a few years ago when pain from hallux limitus became too severe. More recently even walking had become uncomfortable. About 1 month ago I decided to try a new approach and purchased Correct Toes as well as zero drop shoes from Lems and Altra. After a few days of break-in I am now wearing Correct Toes daily. The improvement is dramatic! I believe I actually have increased range of motion, though I can't be sure because I didn't make a 'before' measurement, however I am certain that the severe pain I had when my toes were at either end of the range is gone. This product has made a significant positive improvement in my quality of life. The only issue I have had is that after a 4 day backpacking trip I developed some blisters on one foot from the Correct Toes but I resolved this simply by taking a day off from wearing them and now all is fine again. Thank you for the risk and effort you took to bring this product to market. In one month your product has reversed damage from years of traditional shoes and orthotics. (Posted on 8/22/2017)

Saved my feet! Please consider making skin tone colors Review by LO

I was diagnosed with (mild) Hallux limitus and was being pushed to have horrible foot surgery. I found this site and all the information about healthy shoes about 6 months ago, bought Correct Toes, changed all my shoes, and I'm happy to report that doing these things solved all the foot problems I was having. I'm back to walking and running with NO pain. Even the big toe joint deformation seems to be disappearing. I noticed there are now other colors of Correct Toes, so the only thing that would make this even better is if the Correct Toes were made in nude-for-you colors (not just plain beige, please!) to make them less conspicuous when worn with open toed shoes. Although I wear these with sandals now, I would heartily plop down to purchase another pair if they were offered in a color closer to my skin shade. (Posted on 8/17/2017)

I have bunions and had pain in the ball of my right foot which progressed to a crossover toe. I had seen the Correct Toes before the toe crossed over, but I was put off by the price. When the toe crossed over, I had no choice. I bought the mediums 1.5 years ago, and I have not had foot pain since. I contacted Correct Toes to ask if the size smalls would help correct the crossover toe better because it would be pinned lower to the ground. They suggested waiting for the new size small. I waited and bought the pair soon after they came out. They are amazing. They fit my feet perfectly without modification. I have only been wearing them 10 days, but I even think the toe looks less claw/hammer-like. I am hopeful for continued improvements. I wish I bought Correct Toes at the first sign of foot pain.

Grateful Review by Jackie

I've been wearing correct toes for a few years now. I have an old injury on one foot that was causing a lot of problems. Since using correct toes almost constantly I don't have pain in that foot - unless I skip wearing the correct toes for a few days. So they definitely are helping.

my only complaint is they tend to last about a year because the medium was a bit too big and it put stress on the middle part when putting them on. I can't wait to try the new small size. I think that will be perfect for me!

I only wear shoes that allow me to wear the correct toes, whether Lems or Softscience. I have worn these running as well. It has worked well for me. I have a large collection of toe socks because of this, but it's the best product out there for foot issues. For those looking for good toe socks, check out smartwool for some good options that are warmer.

If I find the smalls last longer than the mediums have for me I'll try to update the review to 5 stars across the board! (Posted on 5/23/2017)

Excellent product Review by Chris

Quality

I purchased these a couple of years ago. I am now purchasing them for my husband, who needs a larger size. There are many different kinds of toe separators. Be careful. Don't buy the ones that only separate one or two toes. You need to have all toes separated in order for the magic to work. They suggested wearing these as much as physically possible, so I tried to wear them 12+ hours a day. I would wear them in my boots, at home under my socks, sometimes even in bed with socks on. These work great because there is nothing on the outside of your big and little toe which would be more cumbersome when trying to wear in shoes. I couldn't wear these in high heels of course, but worked well in tennis shoes. Since your toes are separated, only a wider shoe would work, so wearing them to work wasn't really an option for me. These correct toes instantly made my feet and toes feel better and eventually reshaped my toes back to normal, eliminating the pain. I wear them occasionally now, kind of like a retainer. Though these are expensive for what you get, they last and are most comfortable ones I tried....and they work. Be patient and you won't need a foot doctor. (Posted on 1/16/2017)
