CLAW AND HAMMER TOE CUSHIONS

TAILORED SHAPE FOR IMMEDIATE COMFORT.

Do you have one or more mallet, hammer or claw toes, perhaps flat feet that cause your toes to progressively bend on themselves? Maybe you also have painful corns on or at the tip of your toes? Try the EPITACT^® hammer toe cushions that comfortably extend your deformed toes and limit the formation of corns.

Description of the hammer toe cushions by EPITACT^®

Wearing shoes when you have a hammer or claw toe can be very painful. By protecting the toe without straightening it, the risk is that it stiffens in this position and it will be even more difficult to realign it. The solution is to place a comfortable cushion under the toes to help them ‘uncurl’.

The hammer toe cushions perfectly fit the area underneath the lesser toes. This allows the affected bend toes to straighten and then relieves toe pain caused by contact with the shoe. Indeed, excessive pressure between the shoe and the prominent joint of the toe is responsible for the formation of corns. By extending the toes, the hammer toe cushions contribute to maintaining certain flexibility and limit the development of corns.

How do they work?

The hammer toe cushions are made of EPITHELIUM 26^®, a patented silicone gel. As it straightens the toes, this pad helps them to return to the correct position and improve the distribution of loads to the forefoot. In addition to reducing pain caused by pressure and rubbing against the shoe, they also limit the formation of corns at the tip and top of the toes and calluses on the ball of the foot.

Moreover, the hammer toe pads stay very well in place thanks to the flexible elastic loop that passes around the 3rd toe.

Characteristics of the hammer toe cushions

• very soft fabric that allows for perspiration evaporation;

Advice EPITACT^®

If you also have corns at the tip or on top and between your toes, combine the hammer toe cushions with the Digitops or Digitubes^® protections, respectively.

The hammer toe cushions are recommended if the affected toe is still movable.
