Positioning

- Cut a small section of the sponge roll to match the length needed for your toe.

- Gently slide the sleeve over the affected toe, positioning it over the area that needs cushioning or protection.
- Ensure the sleeve sits comfortably around the toe without twisting or bunching.
- Adjust the position as needed so it provides a snug, secure fit without feeling too tight or restrictive.

Start Slowly

Begin with 15–30 minutes per day to let your feet adjust. Gradually increase usage to 1–2 hours daily or as comfortable.

Best Use Cases

- While relaxing at home (watching TV, reading, etc.).

- During light activities like yoga or stretching.

- While sleeping (optional — wearing socks can help keep the sleeve in place).

- Can be worn inside comfortable shoes if there is enough space.

- Avoid wearing with tight or non-stretchable shoes, as this may cause discomfort or reduce effectiveness.

With Shoes?

- Not recommended for use inside tight, snug, or formal shoes.
- Can be worn inside wider, roomy footwear (such as sneakers) if there is enough space for a comfortable fit.
- Ideal for use at home with or without socks for added stability.

Adjustment Period – Mild Sensation Is Normal

- It’s normal to feel slight pressure or a new sensation when you first start wearing the sleeve.
- This happens as your toe gets used to the added support and cushioning, and the material adapts to your toe’s shape.
- The sleeve is designed to reduce friction and gently support alignment, so it may feel different at first compared to going without it.
- Start gradually — wear it for 15–30 minutes at a time, then increase duration as it becomes more comfortable.
- With consistent use, most users notice improved comfort and reduced irritation within a few days to weeks.

Cleaning Instructions

- Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap.

- Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting the material.

- Air dry completely before next use.

Tips for Best Results

- Be gentle when putting them on: Slide the sleeve onto the toe carefully to avoid overstretching or tearing.

- Expect a new sensation at first: This is normal as your toe adjusts to the added cushioning and support.
- Use consistently: Daily wear helps reduce friction and improves overall comfort over time.
- Pair with socks if needed: Helps keep the sleeve in place and prevents slipping.
- Use on clean, dry feet: This helps avoid irritation and keeps the material in better condition.

When Not to Use

- Do not use on open wounds, cuts, or infected skin.

- Avoid use if you have severe irritation or skin conditions in the affected area.

Suitable For:

- Hammer toes and overlapping toes (helps reduce friction and protect affected areas).
- Corns, calluses, and pressure points on the toes.
- General toe discomfort caused by rubbing, tight footwear, or daily activity.
- Daily support, especially for those who stand or walk for long periods.
