Silipos Gel Tube Toe Protectors For Corns and Hammer Toes

Sore toes caused by corns, blisters, hammer toes, and calluses can limit your daily activities more than you may think. Luckily the Silipos Gel Tube Toe Protectors for Corns and Hammer Toes can be cut to size to provide pressure relief, compression, and friction reduction to the area to alleviate pain and discomfort in the toes. This fantastic tubing is also lined with gel to keep the toes moisturised, and is a great option for reducing scar tissue.

What's Included?

• Choice Of Either:
  • 2x Ribbed Knit Toe Tubes
  • 3x Mesh Knit Toe Tubes

Sizing Of the Toe Tubes

Both the mesh and ribbed knit options are sized the same, being 2cm in diameter and 15cm in length. They are ideal for use on all toes but the big toe, which we would recommend finding a wider option for. These toe tubes are constructed to fit most adult users, and are designed to be cut to the right length to suit your foot dimensions.

Who Can Benefit From Using This Gel Toe Tubing?

The Silipos Toe tubing is designed to offer effective pressure relief and shock absorption to elevate comfort when you're on your feet. It also helps to manage and reduce shear force on the toes, reduce friction between your toes and shoes, and prevent irritation. This makes the gel tubing suitable for managing and alleviating pain and discomfort from:

• Sore toes
• Blisters
• Calluses
• Corns
• Hammer toes
• Fatigue

This tubing is also ideal for reducing tissue scarring on the area.

What's the Difference Between Mesh and Ribbed Toe Tubing?

The mesh toe tubing will offer more compression than the ribbed, being designed for an extra-snug fit for those who want tighter protection. If it's compression that you're most in need of, the mesh option could be the right choice for you!

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
