So I've only tried it on for a few mins I don't know how it will work for future walking, but I was so excited I wanted to leave a review right away:I don't have hammer toes, but I have what appears to be a compressed nerve in my right fourth toe courtesy of not wearing sneakers on a 10-day sightseeing vacation 2 years ago (learn from me). It will not heal, and I couldn't wear any of the stiffer leather boots in my beloved boot collection because the nerve would pinch (very unpleasant sensation). If I did wear any boots, I would find myself limping piteously in fear of the pinch. This of course was not the end of the world, but it was pretty depressing nonetheless. I saw a podiatrist and a neurologist and neither of them quite cared because I looked like a healthy young adult in no apparent pain with no visible issue. After googling various toe splints, I saw this and hesitated for a few months, thinking it would just be another disappointing episode in my toe journey. But I finally got desperate and decided to at least give it a try. Today I tried it on with boots for a few minutes....and it seems to allow me to walk normally. My fear still prevented me from going very fast or putting too much weight on my toes, but I can't express the happiness this hopeful feeling brings so I'll leave it at that.I will add that I wear a women's 7 in boots and the small size fit my fourth toe perfectly. It also stretches a bit. Will update here in the winter when I've worn the boots on a regular basis, if it allows me to.
