Silicone toe spreader are designed to cushion the space between toes.  Some people develop painful corns between the toes also known as soft corns or heloma molle.  These corns can be extremely painful, ulcerate, become infected, and in some cases lead to amputation of a toe.  The most common spot is between the big toe and the second toe, however they can occur between any toes.

In most cases they are caused by excessive pressure associated with enlarged toe joints. Toe joints can be enlarged by trauma or normal wear and tear arthritis of the toes.  The enlarged toe joints start to encroach on the adjacent toes space, they cause pressure, pressure leads to corn, corns lead to more pressure, more pressure leads to wound. When a wound forms it can become infected quickly, the inter-digital spaces are not the most clean places on the body.  Silicone toe spreader reduce the acute pressure between the toes, this reduces the risk of further breakdown and corn formation.  Silicone toe spreader come in three different sizes. in most cases the medium or large is perfect for the first inter space and medium or small are used for the lesser toes.
