What are finger separators and finger protectors used for?

Toe separators and toe guards are designed to fit your toes to prevent or alleviate injuries such as bunions or disease, calluses and deformities. Every problem has a toe separator or toe protector that will help you overcome it and get better.

Another way to prevent the appearance of this type of injuries and problems in the toes is to take proper care of the feet. It is one of the parts of the body that suffers the most and is not given the proper attention, so keeping them clean and hydrated is essential to avoid infections and malformations. Paying attention to the effects of socks and stockings on the feet is important, as well as changing shoes when we get home and using a more comfortable one.

In the case of bunions, women are often prone to inherit this condition, so in order to avoid them, it is necessary to act from an early age by not wearing shoes that are too closed and can cause problems. Exercising the toes, walking often, massaging and using toe separators and protectors are the best methods to prevent the appearance of bunions.

Ingrown toenails, corns or fungus are other ailments that can occur in the feet and can be avoided by following a series of guidelines. Even so, if you think you have any symptom or problem, it is best to go to the podiatrist and he will tell you what is best to cure and prevent it.

Protect yourself from corns and bunions with the protectors and spacers

As we have already mentioned, feet can suffer from different problems that affect a person’s daily life and other aspects of their physical and emotional health. Each of these problems has a product among all the toe separators and protectors that we have available at Herbi Feet.

Bunions. Hallux Valgus. It is a deviation of the first metatarsal of the big toe. It is caused by the deformation of the bone, which can be due to several causes such as inadequate footwear, when the big toe is longer than the rest, flat feet or cavus feet, rheumatoid arthritis, age or genetic inheritance of a certain way of walking. Bunions tend to occur more frequently in women. When the bone deviates the bunion is formed, this happens when the big toe rests on the second toe.
Ingrown toenails. Occurs when the toenail digs into the flesh. It can be caused by shoes that are too tight, improper nail trimming and also some people are born with their toenails curved downward.
Corns. Calluses are a thick, hardened skin that forms on the toes, heels or under the toes and on the part of the foot that is supported the most when wearing heels. This thick skin forms to protect these areas from constant friction. Corns are annoying, unsightly and can sometimes be very painful. The reasons for their appearance are the use of narrow shoes, high heels, narrow socks, lack of hydration or lack of exfoliation.
Fungi. Athlete’s foot, ringworm of the nails and paronychia. All of these toe diseases are caused by fungi. This is caused by excessive moisture in the feet, closed footwear or using public showers and swimming pools.
