I needed something like this after I had surgery on my big toe.

They would have been almost perfect, had the velcro extended all the way to the end of the closure tab.

But, for some unknown reason, the manufacturer stopped the velcro at least an inch short of the end of the closure tab.

I could have easily closed the flap, even with my ace bandages, had the closure tab had velcro all the way to the end of the tab.

As it was, I could not wear them, until after I was able to remove most of the bandages.

In short, don't be so cheap with the velcro!
