. Created by a Sports Podiatrist
Correct Toes were designed by sports podiatrist and elite distance runner Dr. Ray McClanahan. For both his patients and himself, Dr. Ray desired to cure the root cause of foot problems rather than settle for symptom management. He embarked on a mission to discover a truly curative method of foot care. Dr. Ray realized the powerful healing effect of rehabilitating and strengthening the feet, and that natural toe splay is an essential component of long-term foot health. Ultimately, he developed Correct Toes, customizable and comfortable toe spacers that would enable his patients to combat and prevent common foot problems.
2). Designed to Align Your Feet Naturally
Similar to braces impacting the alignment of teeth, Correct Toes slowly and progressively change foot architecture. Structural changes create a wider base of support, improving balance, proprioception, gait and posture.
3). Modifiable for Your Unique Feet
Everyone has unique feet and individual needs! With this in mind, Correct Toes were designed to be customizable to accommodate a variety of foot conditions, as well as optimize fit and comfort.
Reference our modifications chart and modifications video to see how to customize your Correct Toes.
4). 4 Distinct Sizes
Correct Toes are available in four sizes: X-Small, Small, Medium, and Large. Proper sizing is based not only on your shoe size but also your foot width, toe width and existing degree of toe splay.
Our sizing chart or printable sizing guide can help you find the best size for your feet.
5). Get Results While Being Active
Best results occur when using Correct Toes during daily weight-bearing activities. Correct Toes can be worn barefoot or in naturally shaped shoes. Naturally shaped footwear is flat, widest at the ends of the toes and flexible in the sole. This type of footwear encourages natural foot and body movement, optimizes foot strength and promotes proper toe alignment.&p[url]=https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/makes-correct-toes-unique/&p[images][0]=https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IMG_0041_cropped.jpg){kind=link}
