I have very wide feet and have always had problems finding wide enough shoes. I've had pain in my big toes for a long time now, especially in my right big toe. This past year the pain extended to my entire right foot, radiating and throbbing over the top and bottom of my foot and into my ankle. Nothing gave me relief. The problem became very bad and none of my shoes were comfortable any longer. It hurt just to walk to the mailbox. I went to a foot doctor and was diagnosed with hallux rigidus (arthritis in my big toe joints). The doctor told me I was wearing away my toe joints and would need surgery. I was prescribed a carbon rigid foot plate to put in my shoes and told to always wear them and to never go barefoot. I hated wearing them! They were not comfortable at all, and going barefoot was the only thing that gave me relief!
Because I am into holistic approaches to health and healing, I began researching natural ways to treat my foot problems and stumbled upon the Correct Toes website. I was so encouraged by the videos and knew I had to try them! I bought a pair of Correct Toes and a pair of Altra Instinct sneakers (from the recommended shoe list on the website), and my life has never been the same! I slowly increased the time I wore my Correct Toes and all my troubles with my feet began to dissipate. The inflammation in my big toe joints reduced and all the different odd aches and pains in my foot are no longer there. I am now walking many miles a day and my feet feel amazing! I am so thankful for these and for avoiding surgery! The only shoes I wear now are ones on the list that will accommodate my Correct Toes. My entire family is now buying proper footwear.
I am so thankful to Dr. Ray McClanahan for this amazing invention! I'm so amazed and overjoyed that I found these, as they truly have given me back my life again! I only wish I knew about them sooner. I share Correct Toes info with anyone I know that has foot problems. I will never be without my Correct Toes!
