Correct Toes Manual
Correct Toes helps position your toes and feet the way nature intended, and it's helpful in treating or preventing foot and lower extremity problems. Correct Toes toe spacers are constructed of medical grade silicone and are flexible, comfortable, and durable. This toe spacing product has been carefully designed to place each of your toes in the correct position relative to the ground and to each other. Correct Toes is suitable for weight-bearing activities such as yoga and running, and it helps promote foot strength and balance. For more detailed information about how to use this product, please click on the image below to view the Correct Toes Manual:
Some quick highlights from the Manual:
- Begin wearing your Correct Toes in increments of 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. For example, on the first day of use, wear your Correct Toes for 30 to 60 minutes. Each day, increase your wear-time by an additional 30 to 60 minutes.
- Wear Correct Toes around the house for several days before trying them in your shoes.
- Please DO NOT wear your Correct Toes in shoes with narrow or tapering toe boxes. To test your shoes for forefoot wideness, remove the liner of your shoe and stand on it. If any part of your foot hangs over the liner, your shoe is too narrow. Please see images A and B below for a visual demonstration of this test.
- Expect your feet and other parts of your body to feel different, perhaps even sore, for a while after beginning to use Correct Toes. The prolonged use of conventional footwear has caused significant foot and toe deformation in many people. Rehabilitating your foot will take time.
- Correct Toes toe spacers are best used in conjunction with Injinji toe socks and metatarsal pads placed in your shoes. Please see images C and D below.

Hello,
I am a runner with a bunion on one foot. Recently I have noticed my big toes pushing into my second toe, and I would like to know if Correct Toes would be something that I can wear when running as well? Do I need to wear them on both feet? I don’t have a problem on the other foot. Thank you!
Greetings, Lisa,
Thank you for your message. In our experience, we have found that Correct Toes is extremely helpful in addressing bunions. Even though the bunion may be more prominent on one foot, we have found it useful to wear Correct Toes on both feet, as the device is also helpful for increasing circulation and improving gait and balance.
You can wear your Correct Toes within a foot-healthy shoe while running; in fact, the device works best (i.e., has the greatest corrective effects on the toes) while you are in motion! To start, though, I may recommend wearing them for about 15-20 minutes at a time to see if there are any modifications that may be needed before you hit the road or trail.

I am a runner and have been running for more than 15 years. I have bunions on both feet. I feel that the inward deviation of my big toes is increasing over time, and I have had two metatarsal fractures. I started using 2E wide shoes, which I feel helped in reducing burning and pain in the bunion area. Do you suggest using this product for running? Would it cause fit issues with my current shoes?
Hi, Srinath,
Thank you for your comment. Correct Toes is designed to help to realign your toes with their corresponding metatarsal bones to address bunions and other foot problems and improve gait, balance, and toe circulation. Many runners also find it advantageous in improving performance and avoiding common running-related injuries.
Using a foot-healthy shoe with a wide toe box is crucial to your overall foot health and the effectiveness of Correct Toes. We often tell folks that it’s most important to make the shoe fit the foot, not the foot fit the shoe. Selecting footwear with a toe box that’s wide at the ball of the foot and then continues to get wider as it moves toward the ends of the toes is essential in restoring natural foot form and function.
Correct Toes works best while the body is in motion, so running while wearing them is a great option for most people. We do recommend a gradual introduction to the device at first. Consider wearing your Correct Toes around your house or on short walks for about 30 minutes per day to start and then increase your wear-time gradually (by about 30 minutes per day) until wearing them becomes second nature.
