Morton s Extension Orthotic Carbon Fiber Rigid Insole - 1 Pair - Mortons Toe Turf Toe Hallux Limitus

Ordered these after wearing custom orthotics ($$$$$) for a few years which were designed and digitally measured and built to address my Hallux Limitus/Rigidus in left big toe. My toe was really hurting and seemed to be getting progressively worse by wearing my custom orthotics. I took a chance on the very rigid Mortons Extension orthotic sole and let me tell you what a difference it has made. The full-length support combined with the super rigidness has amazingly reduced the pain in my big toe and for a fraction of the cost of a custom orthotic. As a golfer, I can once again walk 18 holes without pain and the pain in my toe overall has decreased by at least 80%. The Mortons Extension orthotic is very thin and will fit most shoes. The one exception is any shoe that has a high natural arch in the sole. For example, my cycling shoes have a very high built in arch and as a result the orthotic will not rest flat in the shoe and can't be used, but other than my cycling shoes, these are fantastic and work with all of my other shoes. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to limit the bend in their shoe and consequently minimize the stress on their big toe. In terms of sizing, I measured the length of the removable insoles in a few of my shoes and ordered a pair that was about 1/2 inch shorter. From my perspective, I figured for a minimal investment it was worth giving it a shot and I am very happy that I did. Read more

I had a question about warranty so asked through email and Customer Service answered in a very short time. The insert is comfortable to wear and gives relief from pain in my big toe. Great product. Read more

My big toe has some arthritis. As my toe bends I feel pain when walking. These inserts keep big to straight eliminating pain. I walk with a quick gait and these inserts gave that back to me. It's pretty comfortable too. I brought a 2nd pair for multiple shoes. I find it a bit pricey but walking is freedom. Worth it for me. Read more

You will like these so much - you will want a pair for every pair of shoes. So easy to slip into your shoes and provide so much support limiting big toe flexion. You will walk longer - you will be less sore! Read more

My podiatrist recommended these after I started having big toe joint pain from walking faster and longer. At first, they felt a little tight with my shoe insoles, and I had to keep switching them between shoes. After using them for a while, I noticed a big difference — my toe joint feels much better, and even my knees feel less sore. I know they’re meant for the toe, but they’ve helped me overall with comfort and support. I’ll definitely keep using them! Highly recommend these if you’re dealing with foot or joint discomfort.

Does its intended purpose, keeps the toes from bending. Read more

Within only a few hours of wearing these inserts they started to rip a hole in the sole of my shoes. They are 100% flat and and so when placed in any pair of shoes (I tried every one I own and they all have some curved shape to the foot bed) the insert only makes contact with the shoe at the toe and heel, thereby creating intense pressure at those two spots and subsequently tearing a hole in the shoe. Since it only makes contact with your shoe unevenly, it was wobbly to walk. No shoe is 100% flat like these insoles so I can’t imaging what kind of shoe it would work with. I went to the shoe store and tried dozens of sneakers and hiking shoes and it wouldn’t lay flat in any of them. I have since ordered a full-foot orthotic with the Morton’s extension built in and it fits the shape of normal shoes much better while keeping my big toe from bending too much. Read more

These supports are very stiff and did not flex at all. They may be fine for lots of folks but I prefer something with a little give. Read more
