Soft Zone Gel Digital Caps Small/Medium #10495

These are more expensive than some other brands that look almost the same in pictures, but there is a huge difference in quality. The Silipos brand does not deteriorate with time like the lesser expensive brands do which start to deteriorate and turn gummy after a short while. These you can wash and use over and over. I tried almost all the brands to see what worked best and these are it. I have a bad psoriasis rash that gets on my toes and cracks open and bleeds so these save my toes. I use them over and over and wash them with gentle soap, usually shampoo, and let them dry overnight.

I gave this five stars because it provided the relief my wife was looking for. One of her toes through the years had turned slightly casing it to compress against the toe next to it. It caused great discomfort in walking regardless of the shoe she wore. She had tried getting a shoe with a wider box toe, but that only slightly made a difference. We were concerned that to correct the issue may require some minor corrective surgery. These little "Rubber Toes" did the trick. They do, however, work better when worn with a sock as the sock keeps it in place better. The are washable and re-useable, can be trimmed to use on shorter toes. They are very soft and my wife says she doesn't even know it's on when walking. We explored several other types and brands, but this one worked best for us.

In 2010, I bought my favorite toe caps from Foots Smart, very "cushiony", great for protecting sensitive toes/toe nails during exercise. Held up well over time. Unfortunately those are no longer sold. Those were about 1/8" thick. These seem to be a little more than half that thickness, but they are the best replacement I have found so far. They are are little loose on my small toes (which are slender), but my gym socks will hold them on.

For size "small / Medium - they are 18.5mm or 0.73 inch diameter (!) - ie huge vs pinky toe size ( at least my ones) I cannot imagine anyone could have a pinky toe that large. Certainly they are useless to me for the intended purpose. It would be SIMPLE for the manufacturer to simply write these dimensions on the product page. Yet they do not -- and other reviewers writing qualitative words "big" - or "too big" is not that helpful when there exists a system to quantify such things --ie xyz inches --or xyz mm. So - here you go. A picture next to a calipers. Now people can make a factually informed decision on whether to purchase this item - perhaps for a toe other than a pinky toe. I hope this helps. EDIT -- the smaller ones are the other brand -- there is a picture of their size with calipers on the amazon review for them. They are just under 15mm diameter. They fit my pinky toe.

These worked perfectly for my big toes. I walk a lot and my big toe nails both broke and these caps protected them so well. I love them and I told a lot a people at the gym about them. They fit perfectly and did not slip at all.
