When to see a podiatrist first

Foot pads and toe products are a good first step for many people, but some situations need an in-person exam first. Please see your podiatrist first if:

You have diabetes, neuropathy (numbness or tingling) or poor circulation.
There is an open sore, redness, swelling or warmth.
The problem started after an injury, or it is severe or getting worse.
It has not improved after 2 to 3 weeks of correct use.

WARNINGS

If you have diabetes, neuropathy ( numbness tingling of the foot,) or poor circulation, consult your physician before using. If numbness, discoloration, irritation or additional toe pain occurs, discontinue use immediately. Remove for at least 4 hours per day and do not wear to bed. Do not use over broken/ open wound or inflamed skin. If symptoms persist, visit a foot specialist. If irritation, discomfort or any problem results from the use of this product, discontinue use and notify your Podiatrist or other Medical Doctor immediately. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Full Description

The silicone Gel Toe Cap slips over, cushions and encompasses toes with soft gel protection. The comfortable stretchy gel cap absorbs shoe pressure and prevents blisters. The gel is amazingly soft and silky to the touch.

Perfect For

Fantastic for preventing pain caused by rubbing and irritation especially at tip and knuckle of the toe. The gel toe cap will help prevent toenail loss in hikers and athletes such as football, tennis, pickleball, soccer, and volleyball players. Another lesser-known feature: helps maintain shape of end of toe after a nail removal.

FAQ

Q: How long will the cap last?
A: Silicone is very durable and can last for years. Being careful not to overstretch while applying the cap can prolong it's lifespan.

Q) My gel toe cap feels warm or sweaty—is that normal?
A) Yes. Silicone is occlusive. Sprinkle a little talcum powder, air-dry the cap daily. If skin is becoming macerated, decrease time of use during the day and be sure to remove at bed time,

Q) How do I pick the right size for toe caps?
A) Measure the circumference of the painful toe at the widest point and match to the size chart. If between sizes, go up. Too small = pressure/ feeling tight ; too big = rotation/rubbing.
