Stopping a toe from dislocating

[cracker]

I tend to use thick zinc medical tape, I tend to rap round around the out side of the toe and then cross it on the other side. I bit like the charity ribbons. Repeat if needed. I find it works on big toes and the smaller ones. It can last a few days.

my toes like to dislocate too. where can u get the tape from please Jess? my big toe dislocated in frount of my physio today.

Since my little toe started subluxing and the orthopaedic surgeon I saw said I cannot have surgery because of my hypermobility. I now get shoes with a bespoke orthotic from the hospital's surgical appliances. I used to just get orthotics but because I have such a problem buying wide shoes I now get shoes. Even wearing an orthotic has not stopped my little toe from subluxing. I just tape it to the next toe for support (and now that toe is bent). I have tried different bandages and tapes. I have been given exercises to strengthen my toes by a physio which I know I should do more often. I cannot understand why it is such a nightmare buying very wide, supportive shoes that don't look bl**dy awful. Any reasonable looking shoe that I have found I can't get an orthotic in it.
