We’re often asked how Correct Toes differ from other toe spacing products. While there are many toe spacers to consider, it comes down to more than just price or material. Function and purpose are the most important.

Correct Toes were specifically designed to provide lasting health for your toe and foot problems. 

In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the functionality and effectiveness of Correct Toes vs other toe spacers in the market.

Comparing Correct Toes with Generic Toe Spacer Brands

​​What Makes Correct Toes Unique

What Make Correct Toes Unique

 

1). 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.

4). Comes in 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 on your foot width, toe width, and existing degree of toe splay.

5). Can be Worn in Shoes and During Weight-Bearing Activities

Most toe-spacing products are to be worn only while barefoot. Correct Toes are designed to be worn in shoes during weight-bearing activities, such as running, walking, hiking, and standing. They can also be used barefoot around your home or when you are practicing yoga, tai chi, qigong, or other movement arts. 

Correct Toes go beyond simply “spacing the toes.” It places each toe in the correct anatomical position and mimics the natural barefoot position that promotes proper toe alignment and improves overall foot function.

Correct Toes promote balance. This is incredibly useful in yoga practice, helpful for athletes, and therapeutic for people with Parkinson’s Disease. It is also useful for senior citizens in preventing fatal falls—a common injury among the elderly.

When used according to package instructions, Correct Toes toe spacers offer a method of permanently fixing their foot/ankle ailments, without having to resort to custom orthotics or surgery.

“If it wasn’t for Dr. McClanahan I’d probably be bedridden.”

I went to an orthopedic foot surgeon, M.D. type, for my foot problems. I asked him to amputate my right foot I was in so much pain. He laughed and told me to buy a special shoe that had a bump in the middle of the sole on the outside. Told me to come back if it didn’t help and he could operate but only a fifty/fifty chance of “success”. It helped a little. But finally I had to retire. I am a pharmacist and the pain in my foot and back was too much standing all day.

Finally found Dr. McClanahan’s website. I started reading and reading and reading. Mind you I was a physiology major with tons(8 years) of anatomy classes at Berkeley and UCSF School of Pharmacy. All that fancy learning can’t replace common sense.

I purchased Correct Toes then transition shoes(Altra) then minimalist Lems shoes. Toe socks and metatarsal pads helped also. It took about two years. And now I’m almost completely healed up.

If it wasn’t for Dr. McClanahan I’d probably be bedridden.
