"The Surging Popularity of a Bizarre $30 Wellness Tool Transforming Lives"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by New York Post

Toe spacers, a $30 wellness tool, are gaining popularity as a solution to foot pain and deformities caused by tight shoes and high heels. These spacers, available in various materials, separate the toes to stretch them and improve foot strength and balance. While they won't cure underlying issues like bunions, they offer a low-cost alternative to surgery and are recommended by experts for daily use to alleviate foot pain and improve balance, with noticeable results after consistent use over time.

"Say Goodbye to Bunions with This Clever Physical Therapy Trick"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail

Physical therapist Dr Aaron Horschig suggests using toe spacers, such as Correct Toes, to prevent and treat bunions. By widening the top of the foot, these plastic or foam devices can help realign the toes with the metatarsals, reducing the angle of existing bunions and alleviating pain. Research supports their effectiveness, with a study showing that wearing toe spacers for eight months improved flexibility and reduced pain in women with moderate bunions. Dr Horschig also recommends wearing shoes with a wide toe box to allow the toes to spread out and reverse the negative effects of narrow footwear.
