Toes are so neglected!

If we didn’t need toes, why would we have them?

All my life I’ve just accepted that the toes are what they end up being. As if we have no choice in their future. They just are what they are.

But our TOES can help us have a better quality of life as we get older!

It’s been proven that using our toes as they were meant to be used can greatly reduce or removes knee pain, hip pain and even shoulder pain!

My journey of strengthening my toes and my entire foot has helped me work through my hip and knee pain when walking and jogging for exercise as well as standing!

Your toes were meant to push off the ground and yet I was barely using my toes at all. I also had them squished into sport shoes that were keeping the toes squished together as if they were one big toe! I’ve worn Brooks, Reebok, Nike and even though they were all wide shoes, they still had my upper foot squished. The problem is that I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL! I thought that was how it was supposed to be in order to be supported.

NO! You should be able to spread your toes apart much like spreading your fingers apart “inside” your shoes with comfort!

I bought my first pair of wide toe box shoes and wondered how on earth I would make do with so much room in the toe. It was very uncomfortable. But after about three months, I couldn’t believe the change! No I have barely as much room because my toes splay so regularly!

Everything about my walking gait, running gait and standing posture has gotten nearly 100% better now that I’ve trained my feet to be healthier!

Do you train your toes? Can you splay your toes well?

My favorite shoes are from ALTRA. They have several different foot shaped shoes with different cushioning levels! I also use Toe Separators from Correct Toes! Best money I’ve spent!
