;Some separators are comfortable enough that you can wear them all the time without problem. That’s usually the case with models designed to cushion and relieve pain. Models that are designed to stretch the toes may require a different approach. At first, you may be limited to only 10 minutes before you start to feel uncomfortable. Slowly, you can extend your wearing time. Some people find that an hour a day brings noticeable changes. Others wear a toe separator all night. A little trial and error can help you find what’s right for you.
