Darco Toe Alignment Splint

I purchased this product to help with the alignment of my second toe following a foot surgery. The product was easy for me to put on and take off which is important to me because I have back and flexibility issues. It has been comfortable to wear. I have been using it for 3 weeks and the splint is holding up well. Materials seem to be of good quality. I started to include a picture of me wearing it but this last surgery left my foot, well, I'll just say that nobody wants to see that. Good product.

I had bunion surgery back in November. After coming out of the dressings/bandages my big toe started to drift back toward my second toe. The doctor put me in this toe splint so I ordered a 2nd splint through Amazon to have as a back up. It's not the most comfortable thing to wear and I can't wear a sock on that foot and wear the splint and get everything in a sneaker (I just wear the splint with the sneaker) BUT it is working. After wearing the splint for 2 weeks the doctor took another x-ray and it is working to pull my big toe back into alignment. I have to continue to wear the splint for the next month while my foot continues to heal. We'll evaluate at my next apt on whether I can come out of the splint or if I'll need to continue wearing for a while longer.

Helped post-surgery to bring claw toes down, which had retained their muscle memory. I think this device needs to be used while bones are healing, I don’t think it will do much to correct an old deformity or once bones have fused

Great item

The product function is better than the other one with plastic piece that I have. However, the the piece goes around the big toe gets too tight around the toe and the tip of toe is turning purple and I felt numbness. If I loosen the toe piece by not stretching too much, I don't feel like the toe is straighten up and fixed. And the rebate option give at the back of the box is totally fake. Website address given for the status check shows nothing but advertisement and the 800 number has not information about the status; it seems to be disconnected. It's only $5 rebate so I let go, but I wonder what this manufacturer is trying to do with my personal information.

This is good to use during the night when you aren't trying to wear socks, shoes, or walk. When you put socks on your toes get squeezed together anyway and the brace does not work. Toe spacers work well during the day instead. I have tried wearing this during the day and the velcro ends up rubbing holes in my skin. Even worse with running. I think it does a good job of aligning my toe at night, and my bunion pain during running has been considerably less since I started using this at night and toe spacers during the day.

I've tried a lot of different splints, and this is the worst of the lot - truly useless. If you pull it tight enough to actually keep your toe aligned, the band around your toe is pulled down and digs into the space between your toes, which hurts. If you loosen it enough to not do that, there is no resistance on your toe at all - it's doing nothing. You might as well be wearing a weird looking sock. This device is for post-surgical use, and I have had recent bunionectomies on both feet. I am in the group for which this device is made.

I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a lapiplasty bunion correction. My second toe was cut to shorten and straighten it. My second toe is stubborn and wants to drift up and over the third toe. This splint holds it in place nicely during healing. To improve comfort, I incorporated toe socks which provide some cushioning and toe spacing which makes wearing this splint much more bearable. Simple design and easy to use. Hopefully, my second toe will train to its new position over time.

Other reviews complaining about lack of splint. Admittedly the name of product the gives the wrong impression. It works by the tension of the velcro/elastic. Fairy comfortable, cheaper than other sellers(who I bought from last week as the photos of product were better). They come in single packs, I needed 2.

Comprato per terzi, a detta un buon prodotto

Bestens geeignet um die Zehen in die richtige Lage zu bringen.

Me lo recetó el médico. Va muy bien al principio, pero no deja de ser goma y se da, por lo que si debes llevarlo mucho tiempo, debes comprar otro. Éste es el segundo, tras tres meses de uso del primero.

I just started wearing it after my cast was removed. My foot is still swollen and this splint is soft and comfy, yet it does its job. It is easy to put on . I would recommend it , wearing it after surgery.
