And so when I started developing foot pain, I'm like, this is not going to work for me.

This is my only coping mechanism that I have.

And so I started researching it, and that's when I went to school and started doing all of this work.

So I have bunions from poor shoes, and that's when I started strengthening my foot and wearing these toe spacers.

Yes.

When I first started wearing these on my weaker foot, I would last about 10 minutes.

Because my toes wouldn't splay.

So when you lift up your foot and you spread your toes, you should be able to see daylight between each toe.

Okay.

If you can't do that, this is muscular weakness.

And that's when the toes start to rub or you can get neuromas.

So these toe spacers splay your foot.

and allow for better alignment at the foot and ankle.

All day.

Really?

Walk, run, the whole day.

If you were to take your shoes off in balance,

For 30 seconds, you should feel what we call the tripod of the foot, which is the ball of the big toe, the ball of the little toe, and the center of the heel.

Just standing there, you should feel the foot engage.

You want to be able to strengthen the foot like you do the rest of the body.
