I’ve tried some toe separators before my surgery but after wearing for a bit the silicone portion that goes over the toe to keep it in place appeared to be cutting off circulation. Toe swells… Any words of wisdom?

be careful of over the big toe separators-I got an ingrown toenail.

There is a toe seperater with a silicon spacer glued between 2 stretchy fabrics so it won't cut off circulation. I'll try sending it here but if I can't it's a live add in The Bunion Bulletin

They make sone without going over your toes just in be.

I use this. The separator isn’t as wide but does the job. It also separates the other toes. It does feel comfortable and not intrusive. That price was for two pairs on eBay. I have used similar for several years now and very infrequently I need a replace.
