For use with misaligned toes
Whether Bunion or hammer toe - Taping Loops® can correct misalignments of the toes and relieve pain in a simple and natural way.
The Loop principle: copied from the foot
A Taping Loop is an elastic band that is applied to the foot and takes over the task of the weakened ligaments in the foot that cause the toes to become misaligned. When applied correctly, the affected toe can immediately be pulled into its correct position. Loops can be worn barefoot, over toe socks or Tabi socks.
Application for Bunion
Bunion or hallux valgus is a malposition of the big toe, which is often learned by the foot due to incorrect footwear. The big toe increasingly bends towards the small toes. The ligaments that are supposed to align the big toe forward are so slack that they can no longer hold it straight. The consequences are serious and can be felt throughout the body: pain, tension, signs of wear and tear on the joints, malpositions all the way to the teeth. Healthy toes are the basis not only for mobility but also for quality of life.
The Taping Loop can take over the function of the weakened ligaments and gently pull the big toe back into its natural position.
When running, the big toe and the metatarsophalangeal joint can be stressed correctly again, malpositions and damage caused by compensatory postures of the body can be avoided.
Application for Bunion
- To attach, place the small Loop around the big toe and the large Loop on the heel to secure the band.
- To ensure the tension is effective, make sure that the bands of the small Loop cross on the outside, i.e. on the ball of the foot.
Application for Hammer toe
In the case of Hammer toe, one or more toes are curved like claws, usually the second and third toes are affected. The ligaments on the underside of the foot are so slack that they can no longer pull the toes down. The intact ligaments on the upper side pull the toes upwards - whereupon they curl up like claws.
The Taping Loop takes over the function of the ligaments on the underside of the foot and pulls the toes back down.

Notes on application
Getting used to them and duration of wear
The joints must first slowly get used to the new position. Therefore, we recommend wearing the Loops initially for about one hour a day and gradually increasing the duration over 1-2 weeks. After that, you can also wear the Loops for 8 or more hours per day.
Care instructions
The Loops are machine washable at 30°C. We recommend using a laundry bag to protect the material.
