Dr. Frederick's OriginalDr. Frederick's Original All-Day Comfort Toe Sleeves - 4 ct - Gel Toe Caps with Metatarsal Pads for Pain Relief - Breathable Design for Men & Women

Love these and may only ever use instead of inserts. Great for boots or such. Did not work with more open heels but had enough cushion and coverage to protect my toes from scratching and rubbing raw inside of shoes. The balls of my feet were not sore at end of day. Can take a little to get use to them as they are different and can make toes a little warm. I liked that thought as I'm always cold. Would love if they reached a long across ball of feet.

So I got these after a recommendation because I was replacing old ones of another style. I am a runner, I have pins in my toes, so these really help. First I will say that these are very comfortable they stay in place and I really don’t feel the lower seam when I run. However… When I unsealed the package and opened them I thought. “that’s weird, there’s three left and only one right foot. “. Give me a little grace with that one, it was 4 in the morning and I had had absolutely no coffee and my ability to function had not yet kicked in. We’ve all been there so hear me out….Then I thought, “duh, one is just inside out. “. But then my brain was thinking, if one is inside out, were these used? Were these things that I just had my hands on, used on someone else’s foot and then sold back to me? Because why would one be inside out? That’s super nasty. Now I need to go burn a layer of flesh off of my hands. I keep picturing someone’s nasty feet all up in someplace where I’m now putting my feet and I want to throw up. And don’t come at me telling me the package was sealed because used products get resealed in things all the time. But besides the severely questionable hygiene and the panic that I might now have a flesh eating virus, these are actually Hella comfortable for running and stay in place better than the ballerina toes ones I was using before. I tried to send a message over to the seller, he probably looked at my message and went wow she’s pretty dumb just turn it inside out… But again… Why was one inside out?🤢🤮☠️ 🦶🔥😳.

I bought these along with another toe sleeve to try because my sock seams have been absolutely SHREDDING my toes in my work shoes, which have steel toes.Pros: Covers the parts of my foot I was looking for, incredibly cushy, stay in place reasonably well under socks.Cons: Could stand to be a little longer to cover more of the ball of the foot for those of us with bigger feet; kind of bulky and confining, so they might overcrowd your toes depending on the shoe; trying to get your socks on over these will be a struggle; and though they stay in place mostly well, I did have the big toe slide around into a weird spot and tear

Very comfortable ! Keeps my toes from rubbing in my sneakers

Somewhat helpful for my sore toes. Note that these will take up some space in your shoes so if your shoes are loose and rubbing these should help snug them up. Otherwise, if your shoes just fit, they may cause your toes to bunch up and be crowded. Ended up cutting the big toe part off and just using the bigger size for the other four toes.

I purchased this product to prevent blisters on my small toe for whatever reason this toe always manage to rub some kind of weird way. When wearing this toe protector, it became painful and I couldn't adjust it to go pass my little toe. I ended up with a painful blister. Maybe it's how my toe is shaped. But I am really disappointed. Excellent concept but needs to big a little bigger to come pass the little toe completely and not stop at the bone of the toe. On the bright side it covered and protected the rest of my toes perfectly.

My toes feel better after using these selves. At first it was weird as it feels slippy inside the shoe, but once yo use them it doesn’t bother anymore

For now, I just wanted to quote two sentences from the package: "Can be worn with shoes. For best results wear socks over the cushion to help prevent running and skin irritation.Actually, I have to add that it was difficult to put the things on. I have to believe that one size DOES NOT FIT ALL. However, I finally got the things on...sorta, but I have no confidence that they'll stay in place.Finally, I'm not expecting much, but if I am pleasantly surprised after wearing them for a while, I'll happily upgrade my one-star review. It's now Sunday, and I'll update this review on Monday or Tuesday. I have to be fair. My advice is DON'T BUY THESE THINGS UNTIL YOU SEE MY UPDATE.UPDATE: Don't buy them. I can only talk about my experience with them, but that has been enough for me to say that they're WORTHLESS!!!UPDATE: 4/1/24: My final word is that they're worthless for men unless they are men with tiny feet. How tiny, I don't know, but I wouldn't buy them if my shoe size was more than 10. They're just too damned small to fit too many men. Why the manufacturer doesn't make larger sizes I have no idea.
