I recently discovered these strange things called YogaToes. I saw an advertisement for them in Yoga Journal and was intrigued so I looked them up on amazon.com. They cost about $40 but they had good reviews so I decided to give them a shot. My husband had been recently commenting on how close together my toes are when he was giving me a foot massage. We discovered that him separating my toes out a bit (by putting his fingers between them was extremely painful for me even though your toes really should not be all squashed together. I blame my high heeled and pointy toe shoes. Enter YogaToes. The brand recommends wearing them for just 10-15 minutes per day initially and then slowly increasing the length of time. The idea is to separate your toes out and realign your feet. Initially I hardly had the flexibility to get my foot into these and they were uncomfortable so that I was only wearing them about 5 minutes per day. I wore them while watching TV though and was gradually able to increase the length of time I wore them to where I can now have them on for an hour, I can put them on easily, and they feel great on my feet. Its now a pleasant relaxing sensation to put them on after a long day spent on my feet. They are made of thick and sturdy rubber and come in different colors.
