I have a lot of pain in toes, expecially the second toe, it’s trying to cross over on the middle toe, I wear these to bed and when I can’t get any relief from the toe pain, it’s numb on the bottom of my toe, and these socks help to separate them, they are a little tight around ankles but not really uncomfortable, they are fairly comfortable with flip flops and wide house shoes or bare foot, They are the only thing that I found to help toe pain.
