Thank you 😭 it’s been two weeks and they are going back to normal

So I work in healthcare, and they have hammertoe cushions. Took an elder family member to the doctors, thinking they’ll need to perform some sort of surgery on their foot, only to be told to see a professional since it’s doesn’t need surgery but will need the cushion support or whatever. 😥 I was going to skip the professional and buy some cushions, until then, THIS IS AMAZING. THANK YOU.

Watched about 30 you tube videos before seeing this.... Cannot thank you enough!! Tried it with electrical tape ( all I had) and was able to work 8 hours with absolutely no pain! Immediately after work hit the store for some KT athletic tape and practiced the method... SO EASY!!! Game changer for sure....thank you so very much for your post......xxx

Can I still do my run/walks while my toes are taped?

[@debbieschwartz1038]

I wandered across this last week, and THANK YOU!!! I've tried all sorts of cushions, toe separators, etc, and this works better than all of them for pain relief.

Just had surgery on one foot about 3 weeks ago I'm supposed to do the other foot down the road but I don't know if I want to go through this again. It did not hurt I had pain pills then after 3-4 days I didn't take them. It just is awkward with the boot you don't get around as well it slowed me down which is fine. But I just had a lot of stress because I have a dog and my dog was sick never been sick before she got sick I thought maybe it was stress from my big boot. I just got the stitches out of my foot. The pins come out in 3 weeks. But my other foot I think I'm going to tape it like you're showing maybe I can prevent it from getting any worse this next year. My toes weren't real bad that they were turning into bunion and hammer toes and I was trying to fix it.

What do you suggest if all 5 toes are hammer/claw shaped? I would think that all that tape x 5 toes would not only be uncomfortable but would also be bulky and possibly increase risk of cutting off circulation?

[@libero943]

Thanks! How about a mallet toe? Can you also show a tutorial?

[@laurelrancitelli2271]

KINESIO or ?

[@kylewood8327]

Ive had hammer toe for a number of years now, will this taping help in reducing it?

[@dontworrybehappy8493]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. The only other taping styles I'd see before, was just to tape the toe next to the neighboring toe.

I'm a distance runner and this is quite helpful. Thank you!
