In this video, Dr. Ray McClanahan, a sports podiatrist at Northwest Foot and Ankle and the inventor of Correct Toes, discusses how bunionettes are treated using conventional and natural approaches. A bunionette, also known as a tailor's bunion, is a bump or prominence on the fifth metatarsal bone, at the base of the little toe. A bunionette is not a growth of bone, as is commonly believed; it is, instead, a progressive dislocation of the 5th metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint caused by conventional footwear. This video explains why footwear causes this dislocation and discusses natural alternatives to one of the most common conventional approaches: surgery. Dive deeper into the topic of bunionettes and how to treat and prevent them in this informative video.

It's difficult to find a pair of shoes or boots (or even sandals) that are wider at the ends of your toes than the ball of your foot. Most shoes and boots, including athletic models, force your toes into a wedge position...

Does Correct Toes work for folks over 60?
Greetings, Sondra!
Thank you for your excellent question. In our experience, we’ve seen Correct Toes work for a number of conditions in people of all ages.
