ZenToes Gel Toe Caps, Silicone Toe Protectors, 6-Pack (Small, Black)

I absolutely had to come here and recommend these Zentoes gel caps. I just ran my first marathon yesterday, and for months I’ve been battling the same two blisters during my training. They’re on each pinky toe, and they would almost start to heal before my next long run. No amount of blister proof socks or bandages or body glide could help me not accumulate new blisters over the old ones. With marathon day approaching, I was desperate for something that would stay put for the entire marathon and protect my poor pinky toes. I bought these on a whim, trimmed about a centimeter off each one, and put them carefully over each pinky toe. Right off the bat I knew these were the answer. The silicone is thick but not too thick, and SO soft and comfortable. I ran my marathon. And I have no new blisters. My toes were completely protected the entire time, the caps didn’t move at all, nor did they cause me a bit of discomfort. These are the answer. I think every running store should carry them. I hope someday they do because people need to know about these!! I gave them to my friend before the race and she said she thinks these saved her marathon because she didn’t have to worry about her pinky toe blister either. I got the small size and they were perfect. I do recommend trimming them. The value can’t be understated. I wish I’d known about them during my training runs because I could have been blister free this whole time. Seriously I can’t recommend them enough.

I have been using ZenToes for long backpacking trips for two years now, and I have to say that since I started using them, I have had no issues with broken blisters or losing nails during my treks. I have been a backpacker for eight years and often had issues with blisters or abrasions on my feet when I was only using a pair of wool socks to protect them. Not only that, but I hike and backpack in California's Sierra range, and the downhills can be difficult on toes. The first thing I learned to do to protect my feet was to wear Injinji 5-toed sock liners under my wool outer socks, and that made a huge improvement, but I could still get toe blisters occasionally. It was only after I discovered Zentoes and began using them on four of the toes that I stopped experiencing broken blisters and lost toenails while trekking. Now when I put on my boots, I first apply the Zentoes, then over the Zentoes go my Injinji socks, which stretch to fit over them. Over the Injinji liners then goes the wool sock outer layer, and finally the boots. With this three-layer protection, I can still get blisters, but the blisters are cushioned and do not break while I am trekking, which can be up to one week. I still lose a nail or two per trek, but they don't come off until some days after I have completed the trip and am recovering. I highly recommend this 3-layer approach to backpackers who are still having issues with painful blisters during mountain backpacking, being very pleased with this product. We should note that if you are an active hiker, these silicone toe caps will eventually tear or enlarge too much and need to be replaced. I have purchased 3 multi-size packs in the last two years.

They're okay, does protect my toe in my sneakers.

Chronic large toenail removal girly here. I just had one removed for the 4th time and really dreaded the ugly process of healing and regrowth. Every time I wear a bandaid, I always get questioned about “what happened” and honestly, the story isn’t cool enough to explain every time. Soooo I decided to try these out. Let me start off by saying that these are SO COMFORTABLE, SUPPORTIVE, PROTECTIVE, AND STURDY! They can absolutely be reused and fit comfortably on your toe without squeezing too tightly or sliding. Also, I wore this to the pool shortly after my most recent surgery as a protectant from the sun and it did exactly that! My only “con” is that the size for the large toe is a little bit too long for my large toe, so I do have to roll it up a tiny bit. However, that’s not visible when I wear sandals. I also wish they were waterproof, but again that isn’t what is advertised or expected.

I give it a 3+ star rating. It fits as described, but the gel has irritated the top of my large toes. It fits on the toe just like a sock fits on the foot. However, it is too thin for the protection I need. I lost all my toe nails due to chemotherapy and the 2 big toe nails are very slow in growing back, so the exposed skin is very sensitive to anything rubbing against it. If they were a little thicker, I think they would be more effective for my needs.

These are perfect, great fit, really helpful while a toenail regrows.

These gel toe caps are AMAZING! I stubbed my big toe really bad and cracked the nail partway down. I was so afraid of injuring it further while it healed and bandaids weren't staying on. The ZenToes stay on snugly without strangling your toe, they clean really easily, and they not only protected my toe but cushioned it to make the healing process more comfortable. Love these things!

Goes on easy. Stays on all day. Comfortable and cushions wrll.

works as advertised. it is re-useable but after every use, it will have some scratches and tear appearing. given the cost and the number of caps given, well worth the price.

These are the real deal. Not a cheap knockoff. Worth every penny

Son los mejores!!! Yo los uso para caminatas muy largas de muchos días para evitar ampollas y rozaduras en ciertos dedos. Son lavables, reusables!!! Los recomiendo muchísimo!!

Exactly as advertised, strong too.
