Functional, but not great
I ordered the large Darco toe guard to fit in my men's large Darco square-toed surgical shoe after toe surgery to provide some additional protection during recovery. As far as the primary goal of the product: it absolutely covers and protects the toe. However, I have a few complaints: first, it is enormous and looks fairly ridiculous hanging way off the front of the shoe. It is in no way mold-able by hand as advertised. I would recommend other buyers to be sure you get the smallest size you think you can get away with. It also does not fit into the square-toed shoe well at all; the insole won't go back down into the shoe with the toe-guard in place. I just put the guard in when I'm around the house to protect from the dog and my little ones, and not when I'm in public because it is uncomfortable and unsightly. I would probably buy the product again just because it is functional and fits the Darco shoe, but would try a smaller size (perhaps the women's size?) if I thought I could make it fit.
