I discovered your products 6 months ago, and I have been using them ever since. I have seen changes in my feet, hips, and knees. Much better, love it! My question is: When I run, my big toe is, like, 30 degrees up. After some runs, I can see a hole in my sock toe—usually the right toe. I use Correct Toes most of the time, but not when I do a big race (half or full marathon). What can I do to keep my big toe flat?

Greetings, Luisa!

Thank you for your comment. I’m very glad to hear that you’ve been benefiting from your footgear! In terms of the big toe problem you mentioned, and in order to better assist you, I think we’d need to see an image of what you’re describing. Please do snap a quick photo, if you wish, and then send that over for us to evaluate.

Kind regards,
