Are all toe separators the same?
Toe separators and spacers can be a great tool to recover the anatomy and functionality of your foot.
But, are you sure you are using the right tools?
What matters when choosing toe separators or spacers
Let's talk about what is important when choosing toe separators or toe spacers.
There are different models available on the market. Some are made of softer materials (separators), while others are made of firmer materials like hard silicone (spacers).
Both options are good depending on where and how you want to use them, but there are some things you should keep in mind with either option and we tell you about them here:
1. Always make sure that the toe separators/spacers are the correct size: check your size by measuring your foot on a sheet of paper or using printable templates.
2. They should align the axis of the toes with the axis of the metatarsals. The toes should not be too close together nor too far apart.
3. Use toe separators/spacers with adjustable spacing. This way you can easily widen the gap between the big toe and the little toe and progressively increase the distance between the toes by adding additional wedges inside the gap, until reaching the optimal position.
4. Use dermatologically tested materials, medical grade, that can be sanitized often.
Toe separators and spacers are a great tool to restore the function of our feet, just make sure to invest in a quality pair.
