I’d like to extend my gratitude for having learned in May of this year (2018) of the Correct Toes spacers. I had no idea initially of the benefits that I was going to be receiving as I sincerely addressed for the first time the ever increasing pain that I was receiving due to the footwear that I was choosing to wear. The first time that I received council as to my choice of footwear, was as an adolescent when I started wearing ‘Beatle Boots’, with their pointed toes and a slightly raised heel, and my father’s words to me were “You’re going to ruin your feet,” which I didn’t want to hear, nor did I believe at the time. If my father was alive today, I’d tell him how right he had been.
Fast forward many years later following having worn pointed toe high heels for all of my working career, and having suffered pain in my toes caused by the gradual progression of misalignment that my toes underwent, I resorted to wrapping my toes in band-aids at times to achieve a measure of relief. In approximately 2010 I went to a podiatrist, who recommended "lopping off" my second toes on each foot due to the pressure they were applying into each of my big toes. This physician stated that it was a procedure that he commonly performed. Needless to say, my toes were remaining on my feet!
In May of this year following a trip to visit my childhood friend and being in pain during every step of my trip, I made the decision to truly address the long-standing issue of my footwear and my resulting misaligned toes. I purchased my first pair of Correct Toes. While I have always subscribed to a path of wellness as I’ve lived my life, I had been totally ignorant as to what constituted a healthy foot (i.e., how we are born with healthy feet, how to maintain them, how we can change them based on our choices of footwear, how we can regain them, and the wonderful blessings that follow when doing so). For me, I now experience the wonderful feeling of splaying and using my toes as I walk, feeling them pushing beneath me, and feeling the massaging of my legs as my feet are working, along with the beautiful alignment of my spine since changing to natural footgear. The venous and muscular health of my legs has received tremendous blessings since my addressing the health of my feet and toes. I’ve always enjoyed physical activity, and the joy of now walking with my feet unrestricted is an incredible youthful feeling. Thank you for providing me far beyond my pair of Correct Toes, as you provided me with the much-needed education that I was lacking regarding wellness in foot health.
