An toe orthotic or toe brace corrects the position of your toes to avoid pressure points and decrease friction between the toes. The orthotic is an aid for correction, compensation or protection in the event of deviating toe positions. It is made from silicone.
Do you suffer from:
- A hallux valgus
- Hammer toes
- Pressure points
- Excessive callus formation
- Corns
- Or even wounds?
Assessment
Have you tried everything - different shoes, different plasters, or possibly standard silicone toe pieces? Still, do your complaints persist? Then come and visit us and let's see what we can do for you.
During your first appointment with us, we will first see what is causing your problems. We'll see if we can correct your toe, take preventative measures, or take a symptom-focused approach to find the toe brace that works best for you.
The options for manufacturing the toe orthotic will then be discussed with you so that we can find an optimal solution.
Toe orthotics made to measure
When it is clear which function the toe orthotic can best fulfil, we will manufacture it for you. At the end of the appointment, the toe orthotic is ready to use.
The process is as follows:
- The right amount of two silicone materials is mixed together
- The silicone material is modelled on the foot in the correct shape
- The material hardens and the shape is checked within a few minutes
Pedicure and Podologe
Since the toe orthotic only serves as an aid to reduce the pressure between the toes, it is important that you go to a pedicure or ‘podologe’ for future assistance. These can remove excess callus and / or corns for the best results.
