Description
Heal2Toe Toe Separators are designed to create a deliberate, stronger stretch through the toes and forefoot, helping create space between crowded toes and encourage more natural toe positioning.
Unlike soft pedicure separators, Heal2Toe separators are substantial and intentionally thick. Their purpose is to place the toes into a greater degree of separation while you are sitting or resting, rather than simply keeping the toes apart.
At Advanced Podiatry Solutions, we find they are most useful when used in conjunction with Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT). FMT works hands-on with the joints and movement of the foot, while the toe separators can provide an additional stretch between appointments as part of a personalised care plan.
They may be recommended for people with:
- Bunions / hallux valgus
- Tailor’s bunions
- Crowded or overlapping toes
- Reduced toe spacing
- Forefoot tightness
- Toe and forefoot mobility restrictions
Important — These Are Not Pedicure Separators
Heal2Toe separators are designed to provide a significant stretch, so they may feel quite firm or intense when first used.
They are not intended to be worn all day and should not be:
- Worn inside shoes
- Worn while walking
- Used during exercise or activity
- Worn while sleeping
They are designed for use while seated or resting, when the feet can remain relaxed and unloaded.
How to Use
- Rinse the separators with water before use.
- Align the openings with each toe.
- Gently slide the toes through the separator.
- Sit or rest while wearing them.
- Begin with a short period and gradually increase your wear time as advised and as your feet become comfortable with the stretch.
The stretch should feel noticeable, but it should not become painful.
Why We Recommend Them With FMT
Toe position is influenced by more than just the toes themselves. Joint movement, foot alignment and the way the foot functions as a whole can all contribute.
For this reason, at APS we generally recommend Heal2Toe as a support to hands-on FMT care rather than a standalone solution.
FMT can help address movement through the foot and toe joints, while the separators provide a useful passive stretch at home between sessions.

Please Note
A stretch is expected, but pain, numbness, burning, discolouration or significant discomfort is not. Remove the separators immediately if any of these occur.
Do not use over open wounds, broken or infected skin. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, peripheral neuropathy, reduced sensation or a silicone allergy, seek appropriate healthcare advice before use.
Do not walk in Heal2Toe Toe Separators or wear them inside footwear.
