are simply gel forms placed between the toes ; it is recommended to wear them about an hour a day. They stretch and spread the toes. After spending hours in uncomfortable shoes or on one’s feet in inappropriate footwear, I have no doubt feel soothing.

There is a free way to help feet feel refreshed and challenged ; just grab a towel, and with your bare feet try to wad it up, pass it back and forth, rotate your ankles, etc. This exercise is very helpful using different muscles and improving circulation.

The sellers of say that the product stretches and strengthens foot muscles. They do not say which muscles are strengthened. What is implied however, is not only untrue, but could be harmful. There is a "before" drawing (not an actual photograph) of a misshapen foot in a sandal. Next is a bare foot encased in a Yoga Toe; and finally, a normal foot, the "after" drawing of a foot. Nothing is actually stated, but the implication of improving feet in ways they really can not, is obvious.

Next, read the reviews page. Some comments seem genuinely realistic, offered by helpful customers. The problems arise with the unreal and incredible claims made that simple gel inserts can straighten BONES. Several people write that they saw their feet actually become straight, and in days.

The website prints all these reviews without setting the record straight. There were no disclaimers I could find regarding the ability of to repair bones, only the misleading pictures and reviews. There is no way a gel insert placed between toes can repair a bunion or a hammertoe . If you believe that, I have some magic beans…
