Fitting a Gel Crest Pad

Properly fitting a gel crest pad can be a little difficult until you understand the purpose of the gel crest pad.  The gel crest pad should fill the void space under the hammertoes (the sulcus) with enough bulk to physically insure the tips of the toes do not come in contact with the ground.  In other words the tips of the toes should be floating in air and never come in contact with the ground, that said the hammertoe should not be elevated to a point where it is causing joint pain or jamming the toe against the top of the shoe. Some individuals may need to get shoes with increased height in the toe box area. There must be adequate space to allow the crest pad to function correctly.
