Hi, thank you for your question.
It's difficult to evaluate any deformity in your ankle from the images provided. Also, intoe is a very broad definition and multiple issues can result in toes pointing inwards. Typically for such issues, no amount of gel products can fix it. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a podiatrist for an evaluation. Sometimes x-rays will be required to get further information and will guide appropriate decision making on the proper treatment.
Best,
