That describes my right foot pain exactly. I tried the metatarsal pads which did help with the pain, but I kept running, and last fall my second toe actually crossed over the top of my great toe which of course has a bunion. For me what finally helped was getting Correct Toes.
https://www.correcttoes.com/shop/correct-toes.html I didn't want to spend $65, so I went a year using the metatarsal pads. I also switched to Altra shoes. They are zero drop and have wider toe boxes. After the toe crossed over, I finally got the Correct Toes, and I kick myself for not getting them a year sooner. Maybe my toe would never have crossed over. I trail run and can go three hours in my cushioned Altras with the toe separators pain free. Sandy O

yogatoes was the original, and many knock-offs have come out since then. i wear them around the house and sometimes when i sleep. i use it when i have a little pain in my arches - probably a mild PF.

Margaux if you want to see if stretching your toes is beneficial before spending big bucks on Toe Correctors, you can try inexpensive generic toe stretchers available at your local pharmacy or on Amazon. They are still too big to wear in shoes, but you can wear them for an hour or more when you have time to put your feet up. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/DenadaDance-T...rs+for+bunions

Those Correct Toes remind me a little bit of Joya Toes.
I wear mine to bed, and I can walk barefoot in them. I've had them for years. They're great, and cheaper than Correct Toes. PS I have Yoga Toes and almost never wear them. They are too bulky to use under the covers and I can't walk in them. For me Joya Toes is a much better product.
