The PediRoller is a massage device developed by a podiatrist which you move the feet back and forwards over. It may also be frozen, so if it is cold, then you can use it instead of ice for foot discomfort. The rhythmic moving of the feet over the massage roller may help those with such things as heel pain and those fatigued and sore feet some get at the end of a tough day. The ridges or ribs on the PediRoller truly get into the soft tissues to provide them a workout.
The comments from users, is yes they actually do help. People who use them do find them helpful. You simply need to use them for a few minutes, perhaps twice a day and they’re going to give some relief. They can help stretch the plantar fascia ligament and promote the blood circulation. This will only be helpful in making the foot feel better. When the pain is bad, then putting the PediRoller in the freezer before use is a terrific way to get an added benefit from the product.
Toe foams are a polyurethane foam that is commonly used by podiatrists for a range of problems.

They are often used for corns on the toes, especially after the podiatrist has debrided them. They tend to be used more for the short to medium terms. They can be helpful to prevent blisters. The toe foam is also good for protecting toes from the pressure points.

Toe foam typically comes in a longer length and you cut them to the length required for the toe. They come in several different diameters and some have a double thickness on one side for extra protection.
This question gets asked a lot (see these forums here and here); can they actually correct bunions?

Depends what you mean by “correct”. They will not make a bunion go away. They will not correct the alignment of the big toe. They will, however, lead to some small improvement in the alignment of the big toe and may be useful to helping pain deep inside the joint by keeping it mobile, but that is all. They do not live up to the marketing hype and the faked before and after photos. There are some resources on them here.
Firstly, in Australia they call “thongs” what the rest of the world call flip flops. These Archies Thongs that come from Australia are proving to be very popular with Podiatrists, a lot of them selling them in their clinics.
The arch support in these thongs is similar to what you get in an over-the-counter arch support or prefabricated foot orthotic so there is no reason why there can not be used as an alternative to a foot orthotic in some circumstances and as a useful adjunct to foot orthotic therapy.
They were designed by a physiotherapist in Australia.
