Featured Testimonials
I've been a dedicated Correct Toes user and have found tremendous changes in the health of my feet. I contacted you in August of 2017 when I placed an order for these and some Lems shoes and you were of the utmost help in getting me started on this path! [...] I've been turning others onto the awesomeness of your resources and expertise whenever I can, especially those with bunion pain, as I have had such great changes in my feet.
—L.P., Cranston, RI
Just a short note to say thank you for the speed at which you have fulfilled my orders. This is my third purchase with Natural Footgear and all three orders have been quickly and accurately completed and my items are at my mailbox literally within a couple days. This is most appreciated, and I will certainly continue to use Natural Footgear [...] as well as recommend your company to others. I think it’s rare to find such an outstanding company as yours, plus your website is easy to use and order from and contains much useful information on foot care.
—J.K., Eugene, OR
I just wanted to say thank you for the quality of the materials in your e-courses; I have learned so much. I'm a just-retired physiotherapist who now has the time to work in earnest on her own feet! The medicalized approach to the foot is all-pervasive in healthcare, but your approach is just so refreshing in its simplicity and common sense—and promotion of self-sufficiency [...] Thanks again.
—M.B.

Just here to comment that Correct Toes is amazing. I was initially skeptical about spending money on toe spacers, but they really do work.

I have been following Natural Footgear for years, and I love your information and the products you recommend. Years ago, when I was wearing conventional footwear, I seemed to ALWAYS be spraining my ankles, and it was extremely frustrating as well as painful, and I did not like being laid up waiting for them to heal. Since switching to minimalist, zero-drop footwear, ankle sprains have become nearly nonexistent for me. —N.I., Pagosa Springs CO, February 2024
I am very excited I found you and by what I have learned so far. Thank you! —E.A., Wheat Ridge, CO, January 2024

I just wanted to tremendously thank y’all for making the article on metatarsal pads. I felt the stretch and noticed a big difference on the first day! These [pads have] cured and helped so many problems, and I have noticed a big difference/improvement in my lower body workouts, especially with Olympic lifts. —J.G., August 2023
I got my order and am really happy with the shoes, socks, and Correct Toes [...] Thank you. Besides my continued quest for just being healthy and in shape, I now have a granddaughter who is 3 months old. We have floors and no rugs, and I am so paranoid about feeling unstable while holding the baby. The Primal 2 is FAR superior for my stability than any other sneaker or slipper! The shoes make me feel totally secure holding the baby :). Thanks so much for your fantastic customer support! I really appreciate it! —B.B., Long Branch, NJ, August 2023
I love your website! Great information! —A.H.B., Greenville, SC, August 2023

I am really enjoying the medicated foot cream, and I feel it has already made a difference. It's the nicest cream I have ever used on my feet, and I have tried many over the years. —F.J., Mississauga, ON, Canada, May 2023
I'm grateful to Natural Footgear for recommending these amazing shoes and educating me about the life-changing benefits of minimalist footwear. Running, walking, and doing anything in my Xero shoes feels better than the shoes that I've worn my entire life. I get tons of compliments on them as well!

I love your products! I am a physical therapist who was a runner for 30+ years, and after my second round of plantar fasciitis, I gave it up. I accepted that I would always have right foot discomfort of some sort. Now, using your toe spacers and foot gym, my foot hasn't felt this good in over 10 years! [...] I truly believe! Thanks for your work in this area! —H.B., Dublin, OH, February 2023
Thank you for what you are doing! Since I found your store, my feet, and my mind, have finally begun to heal. The various products and tutorials have opened my feet and mind to the way out of chronic foot pain and overall dysfunction. —E.D., Glen Cove, NY, February 2023

Thank you for all I've learned from you about feet! I'm 73 years old and have only worn barefoot shoes (with rare exception) for more than two years now. Wearing them, plus the toe spacers and the Injinji toe socks I purchased from you, I've realized much improvement in my feet. I love how strong they feel! [...] Thank you for all you do! —G.B., Cicero, IN, July 2022

Last week I showed my podiatrist a photo of my feet in Correct Toes and toe socks to compare to my bare feet, which he was looking at, and I told him how much better my balance is with your products [...] Thanks again for helping me with my balance and for the exercise instructions that have really improved a toe that was curling under and disappearing from sight, as well as for restoring some feeling in my toes that I did not realize I had lost. Your work is appreciated. —J.W., March 2022

Thanks again! —C.R., Bunker Hill, WV, June 2021

My feet are in a constant state of gratitude for your company! —D.C., Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico, April 2021

I came across your site while looking for sneakers. I wanted to thank you for letting people know that gel inserts/cushioning does not help. I am actually a person who is basically crippled for 2-3 days after wearing that type of shoe for just an hour. Sadly, I've had serious problems finding sneakers without the gel. Thank you again for offering an alternative. —J.K., March 2021

Hey, guys. I stumbled upon your website just now—your products are such an advancement in health. Thank you! I’ve been searching forever for something like this; it’s not a conversation or thought for many people until it’s too late. [...] I can’t wait to get on the natural footwear train. I’ll be telling everyone about your company. Thank you again! —C.T., Australia, January 2021
I just started using your products and I am thrilled! I am very grateful to you [...] for the help these products (and education) are providing for my feet and lifestyle! Best to you all. —R.S., Falls Church, VA, November 2020
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for offering this superior product [Strutz foot pads]. I work in a factory, twelve-hour shifts overnight standing in one place on concrete. They offer rubber mats to stand on. I was already using your toe spacers coupled with wide toe box, flexible, zero-drop minimalist shoes (all of which has tremendously helped my bunions and crooked toes—it's been a game-changer, my feet look and feel so much better!). But after a right knee injury, I suppose my gait change affected my left foot, and I began to have what felt like nerve pain shoot through the third and fourth toe of my left foot upon working for a few hours. No amount of moving or fidgeting helped. A while back I had ordered the Strutz foot pads but hadn’t really felt the need to use them. Well, I remembered I had them and decided to give them a try. The first night I was amazed—no pain! So I continued wearing them and discovered that, rubber mat or sheer concrete beneath my feet, I go all night pain-free. So my coworker was complaining of her foot problems, which included plantar fasciitis and a previous bone spur surgery. Since I really only needed the one on my left foot, I offered to let her try the other one on her worst foot. SHE LOVED IT. She has been asking me to order her a pair. So I just ordered another pair, so we can both have a complete set. I have also highly encouraged her to check out the website for all the great information that seems can’t be found anywhere else. Thanks, Natural Footgear, you came through for me again! —C.C., Verona, VA, October 2020
I am celebrating ... well, my feet are. I have the Correct Toes, Injinji socks, Strutz foot pads, and a cover sock all neatly fitting into my size 15 Lems. Loving the Nine2fives, the Mariners, and the Boulder Boots. I could not be any more enthused to have proper support inside phenomenally designed footwear. Thanks again for your products and education. I’m a fan! —J.S., Nashville, TN, September 2020
Thank you for the work you are doing! I have noticed some significant improvements since following your methods (i.e., toe spacers, appropriate footwear, and exercises) and for this I am extremely grateful [...] Again, thanks for the tremendous work that you are doing and for the extensive educational materials that I have personally found very helpful indeed. —M.F., Queensland, Australia, August 2020
Thanks for your help and your wonderful set of courses. They are most enlightening. I’ve been letting friends and family know about you. —U.E., New South Wales, Australia, July 2020
First-time user of toe socks (I purchased your mini-crew length in size small). I love them! Thank you so much. —M.L., Kitchener, ON, Canada, July 2020
Thank you! Your website is excellent and [you provide] superb information about a superior product. I look forward to [receiving] the Correct Toes and two pairs of Injinji wool toe socks. Thank you again. —J.D., Riverton, WY, June 2020

I got a couple of pairs [of toe socks] to try out and received them yesterday [...] Within minutes, I began to really like them. I wore them half the night. This morning I went out to exercise and wore the other pair. I really liked how my feet felt in my running shoes. These socks are great! —R.J., Vero Beach, FL, May 2020
Thanks for your excellent customer service. Along with using your alignment spacers myself, I give them to family members! —D.M., Pardeeville, WI, April 2020
Wearing both items as soon as I opened the package. They are extremely comfortable. Thank you for [...] an excellent product. —D.W., York, ME, April 2020
Thank you for sending so much helpful information with the Correct Toes and online, on your website. I am daily doing the foot strengthening exercises found on your website and finding improvement in my feet already! —S.G., Fort Wayne, IN, March 2020
Thank you for the Strutz [foot pads]. I can walk ... golf ... whatever. Pain free. Will be ordering two more sets soon. —L.F., Saint George Island, FL, March 2020
I am a big fan of your website! I’m on my second pair of Correct Toes and I wear nothing but your recommended shoes. My feet are totally transformed! —A.D., Branford, CT, March 2020
I bought your Correct Toes some months ago at the advice of my son-in-law. I have double hip replacements, and after wearing orthotics for years (that were not helping my back and shoulder issues), I am finally getting some back and shoulder relief from walking in Correct Toes and wearing Altra running shoes. Thank you so much! —C.H-B., Nanaimo, BC, Canada, March 2020

I love your videos and am doing some of what you recommended and will do more! They are a blessing, and so needed in the world! Thank you! —D.D., Asheville, NC, February 2020
Wow! I just signed up for [Natural Footgear's] free mini-sessions and did I learn a lot. What an eye-opener, or should I say foot-opener. No wonder all these orthotics and shoes don’t work. Thank you! —K.K., January 2020
I “stumbled” upon your website several years ago and have really appreciated the information and products that are helping me get my feet to a more comfortable and healthier state in a natural way [...] Thanks for your work. —M.B., Carmel, IN, January 2020

I am so grateful for your website and services. I’ve been wearing Correct Toes every day when I get home in preparation to wear in shoes outside.

Correct Toes and Altra shoes are life-changing [...] I appreciate your work and your website so much. —D.S., Tallahassee, FL, July 2019

The people at Natural Footgear are so well educated and informative. I was able to learn about foot health in addition to finding shoes that were comfortable and stylish. Many thanks! —M.D-C., Asheville, NC, June 2019
I’m loving my toe socks, three pairs of shoes, and two pairs of Correct Toes that I ordered! [...] I love the site and the great advice on it … kind of changed my life. I’m spreading the word [...] Thanks! —T.M., Pittsburgh, PA, June 2019
As you know, I LOVE your company. I have learned so much from your emails and from using your products. Thank you!!! [...] I've been buying Correct Toes for many years, and (together with wide toe box shoes) they have saved my walking, hiking, and running life. Phewwww!!! [...] Thank you!! —M.M., Juneau, AK, June 2019
I have dealt with foot pain and bunions most of my life (I'm 71 years old) and thought I was doing the right thing by seeing a podiatrist and using prescription orthotics since my thirties. My feet are very skinny/bony and barefoot walking was always a very painful experience, even as a child. Having been told bunions were hereditary, I never wore high heels or pointed-toe shoes. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Everything the orthopedic doctors had me do made matters worse. I did my own research and discovered your website and Dr. McClanahan. I learned “the truth.” I threw away all the contraptions from the ortho docs and started wearing Correct Toes and Altra shoes and exercising my feet. I can finally garden and do yard work again [...] Progress has been slow, but steady and sure [...] Praise be to the internet and social media; without it, I would be laid up, for sure. Thank you for your information and product awareness. —C.F., Columbia, MO, May 2019
My sister, after umpteen custom orthotics and “good” shoes, and nevertheless years of aching feet, tried my shoes (Topo) for just a few days and was so surprised and perplexed as to how they could feel so good. The flat shoes made no sense to her. First aching feet (2000) then bad knees (2008) and now back surgery last August. If we only knew, but now we do, thanks to your good work, dedication, and really excellent service. Much appreciated! —C.H., Victoria, BC, Canada, May 2019
Just thought I’d write to tell you that I just received my Boulder Boots and Correct Toes yesterday and they both look and feel great! Can’t wait to get them out on the trails. Thanks! —L.A., Uxbridge, ON, Canada, May 2019
I am just so excited at the prospect of healing my foot issues and achieving a happy gait. So, really, just thank you! —L.K., May 2019
I'm already thrilled that these [Correct Toes and Injinji toe socks] arrived in record time, and I'm already in my socks with Correct Toes! [...] I already feel so much better after one day! Thank you! —M.C.B., Ithaca, NY, May 2019
Just thought I'd let ya know, I got my shoes a few days ago and played pickleball in them yesterday. I LOVE them!! That toe box makes all the difference in the world! And they are so lightweight, it's amazing!! My HAPPY FEET say thank you so much!! —B.E., McAlester, OK, May 2019
My Lems Primal 2 shoes just arrived today. They are, without any doubt, the most comfortable shoes ever! Thanks again! —D.R., Cluj, Romania, April 2019
I have very flat feet and I can tell you any arch support I have ever tried has caused extreme pain in my feet. I only wear Lems now, or other flat, natural, wide toe box shoes. I wish I had this knowledge years ago. But thankfully I can now ensure my son has proper footwear throughout his life. Our feet are too important for the vanity of fancy shoes. —J.F., Armada, MI, April 2019
Just yesterday my adult flat-footed daughter got her Prios by Xero and so far they are great. Thanks, Natural Footgear! [...] We're thankful for your information so we would know where to go to find shoes for kids! Score 2 for you!!! —N.O., Wells, NV, April 2019
I have hallux limitus in one foot with a bone growth on top of the respective toe (not very large, but still). I began wearing Correct Toes some time ago and it really helps. Recently I bought a pair of Lems Nine2five shoes and I have to tell you, they are the best shoes ever! Even after a day of standing I can walk without problems [...] Thank you kindly. —D.R., Cluj, Romania, April 2019
I am currently transitioning to Xero shoes with the long flat pedals, toe socks, and spacers for use on my gravel bike and fat tire bike. I have capsulitis probably from decades of wedging my wide forefoot into [...] bike shoes. So far, I've been pleased with the results of your products and am optimistic this package will work for me [...] Thanks so much and congrats on a great line of products and website. I really enjoy reading your articles. —D.S., Wilmington, NC, March 2019
The shoes, toe spacers, and toe socks have made a tremendous difference. I no longer have pain in the joint of my big toe. That means I can continue to dance tango! I have been dancing for sixteen years and intend to dance forever! Thank you, thank you!! —M.S., Memphis, TN, March 2019
I am recommending your site to others who may be having foot issues as well. I don't often do that, but having found your site and all you offer, and the educational aspects as well, I feel confident I've found what I need here. —P.W., Oceanside, CA, March 2019
I've been a dedicated Correct Toes user and have found tremendous changes in the health of my feet. I contacted you in August of 2017 when I placed an order for these and some Lems shoes and you were of the utmost help in getting me started on this path! Currently I've logged a zillion miles preparing for a thru-hike using my Correct Toes and I'll be using them on the trail for the duration [...] I've been turning others onto the awesomeness of your resources and expertise whenever I can, especially those with bunion pain, as I have had such great changes in my feet that's really remarkable. —L.P., Cranston, RI, March 2019
First of all, you are changing my feet! [...] Everything is working beautifully. I received my Lems boots yesterday—pure heaven. Love the toe spacers and the socks, and I'm excited to receive the compression toe socks [...] Also interesting, I’d just had orthotics made when I started all of this with you and the toe spacers work much better than the orthotics for relief. Interesting stuff, dancing in the toe spacers—also pure heaven! —D.H., Solvang, CA, February 2019
Hurray [...] I love the socks and the toe spacers. I can now splay my feet and my walking is better and no pain in my feet. Thanks. —I.K., Denver, CO, February 2019
What a difference with the Correct Toes and metatarsal pads. It's like walking on air! —P.M., Durham, NC, February 2019
[The e-courses] are all very informative and I appreciate all the work that has gone into educating people in the proper care of our feet. Many thanks! [...] it is amazing how the pain from a neuroma on my left food is diminished when wearing [Correct Toes]!!!!!! —J.B., Washington, CT, February 2019
Finding Correct Toes brought me much hope when I was otherwise looking at three months of recovery so they could put a screw in my toe. Using Correct Toes has helped foster an attitude that there are things I can do to take on health issues, rather than be a victim of them. I likewise greatly appreciate the efforts of you and your colleagues [...] Thank you for everything! —B.B., Middletown, MD, February 2019
I am loving my natural footgear and have been wearing it all the time for almost 2 months [...] I have the sense that my stiff big toe on my left foot is gaining slightly more flexibility in the second joint. I am measuring the angle it can bend (just by eye) and it seems to be bending a few degrees more than it could at its worst just before Christmas. This is a problem I have been aware of for more than 15 years and have just watched it get worse and worse. So, I'm really excited to notice that, ever so slightly, it is loosening [...] I am nearly 64. —S.R., Portage la Prairie, MB, Canada, February 2019
You all are doing a great service to people; I appreciate it. —J.C., Seattle, WA, February 2019

I love this [Correct Toes] so much!!!! [...] This device is a game changer. Wearing the spacers with my shoes and walking in them wakens and enables posture all the way up the body. I have done many things to change and improve my feet, but this is key. I will definitely suggest this to my students, and I already have your website listed on handouts for my workshop.

I walk/run several miles per day wearing Correct Toes, and I am already beginning to see some changes after just a couple of weeks. It is inspiring. I also stretch, massage, and perform many of the toe exercises available on your website, and my feet and toes are already beginning to flex more like my hands flex ... and that is really cool! Thank you so much for being there for me and for being so helpful. —G.P., South Hero, VT, December 2018
The Correct Toes I recently received from you appear to be an excellent device for addressing capsulitis and plantar fasciitis. It’s nice to use a product that actually seems to live up to the advertised benefits. —N.A., Menomonie, WI, December 2018

I’ve been impressed with your company’s responsiveness and service. So much appreciated! —R.R., Benicia, CA, November 2018
I’ve emailed you before about how much benefit I, and a few of my friends, have gained from your approach to foot health and your products. I recently signed up for and enjoyed your various courses on foot health. Thanks for making all this great information available [...] and again, thanks for your wonderful work. —K.K., New York, NY, November 2018
Thank you for sharing so much great information about the natural healing of feet. I have been trying unsuccessfully for at least a decade to figure out why my feet have been developing pain and problems in the big toe joints when mainly I am so healthy everywhere else. I am beyond excited to start on this new journey of healing my feet. I am looking at it like a science experiment and I also know it will be an extremely gradual return to healthier feet and more wellness above the feet too! My feet have been 63 years in unnatural footwear and I can't wait to see how changing my footwear will change my feet. With so much gratitude for what you do. —S.R., Canada, November 2018
I just wanted to say thank you for the quality of the materials in your e-courses; I have learned so much. I'm a just-retired physiotherapist who now has the time to work in earnest on her own feet! The medicalized approach to the foot is all-pervasive in healthcare, but your approach is just so refreshing in its simplicity and common sense—and promotion of self-sufficiency. My neuroma symptoms are over 90% better [...] Thanks again. —M.B., November 2018
I just discovered your website and appreciate all the info you have regarding a more natural approach to foot health [...] I look forward to perusing your site some more, and I really appreciate all the scientific articles and exercises that you have included. I also look forward to trying some of the footgear! —S.R., Canada, November 2018
My order arrived today and I am eager to get started! Thank you for your great and encouraging information! —K.F., Pleasanton, CA, November 2018
I bought Lems Primal 2 shoes last year at some point. For my job, I walk on hard concrete floors and also in a 35 degree cooler and a -2 degree freezer. I take about 13,000 steps each day at work. I absolutely fell in love with the Primal 2 shoes [...] I started wearing them along with the toe spacers [...] They allowed me to strengthen the specific muscles in my foot that allow each toe to grab the ground that I walk on. —A.L., Sanford, FL, October 2018

Thank you, Natural Footgear Team, for offering such a comprehensive guide to foot health and a permanent solution to foot ailments! [...] My husband has truly earned his keep because he introduced me to the Natural Footgear website, and I happily soaked up the wealth of information through the written content and videos. I now am a firm believer in the benefits of Correct Toes, Strutz Rx foot pads, and Injinji toe socks. I figured if I was going to do this, I better do it right, so the investment in a pair of Lems Primal 2 shoes for everyday wear and Altra running shoes has been worth every penny. I’m extremely grateful for the Natural Footgear solution. I’ve been thrilled to share the site with several running buddies who are also well on their way to running happy and pain-free again. —K.C., Greer, SC, October 2018
I stumbled upon your website while trying to get relief for my acute foot issues, which had left me progressively hobbling and finally immobilized for 3 weeks.

Finally my toes are CORRECT! I love my Correct Toes. —S.C., Hamilton, ON, Canada, September 2018
Thanks for all the great products and the wealth of information on natural foot care! Oh ... I almost forgot, the Boulder Boots and Catalyst Pedals are still a match made in bike heaven on the mountain bike trails! Other riders don't know what they are missing out on. Thanks again for all your products, education, and help in answering my questions! —J.B., Batesville, IN, August 2018
I do love all that you offer on your website. I have bought Lems and two pairs of sandals from you also. I know I will be buying boots for winter soon. I am a loyal customer and have shared your website with many others. :-) Thank you! —L.H., Eugene, OR, August 2018

As a loyal customer, I have more than once experienced their care to ensure I am heard and met with all available resources. The most recent exchange over the past twenty-four hours has proven that all over again. Giant gratitude to team NF for your commitment to quality education, communication, service, and product.

Through your website [...] I have found my way to shoes that make my feet feel strong and happy. I have hated shoes all my life because they tortured my very wide, flexible feet and broad toes.

I received my set of Strutz foot pads yesterday and have been wearing them all day today at work.

I can immediately see the benefit of the toe spacers and Lems boots. I wear both every day and I am already having trouble remembering what foot pain I was in before.

I now have the Xero Prio and Xero Umara Z-Trail. They are both winners, and I'm really thrilled with these shoes. Just a few years ago I would have rolled my eyes at the thought of buying shoes online, being trepidatious about the size and everything, but with a bit of thoughtfulness and maybe some luck, every pair I have purchased from your website—four by my count—has been great. I'm not an easy fit. I have extremely flat feet and have been admonished by a podiatrist and a physical therapist for going down this route [...] I like these shoes because I don't feel like I'm on stilts as with the orthotics. And I feel the ground more, which gets me back to the basics. I just did squats with the Prio shoes the other day. I see what I've been missing all these years. That grounded feeling was great. It was the best squatting session ever—and I've been at it for a few years (I'm 38). —K.W., Santa Monica, CA, April 2018
Thank you for the fast service. Everything arrived in good order and is most welcome! I tried the Correct Toes immediately. I anticipate great progress! —J.F., Wisconsin Rapids, WI, April 2018

It is so good to be able to actually communicate with a knowledgeable human being when making an important purchase such as shoes. —J.M., Sedona, AZ, March 2018
You guys are a joy to work with. I'm amazed at how efficient you all are! Thank you for being so prompt with your responses. —R.M., Cutler Bay, FL, March 2018
You guys are the most efficient company from order placed to delivered shipment. I ordered my Raven Boulder Boots, Correct Toes, and Injinji toe socks on a Thursday and received them on the following Monday! These Boulder Boots look great and are very comfortable, just like the Cordura ones. This leather version is going to work great when I need a little more protection like when working around the house [...] Thanks again for everything! —J.B., Batesville, IN, March 2018
All is can say is OMG. I feel like a new person. I can walk without limping. I have a bunion, hammertoes, Morton’s neuroma, and flat feet ... a lot going on here!

I just wanted to leave a short note about the Xero shoes that I bought: I SIMPLY LOVE THEM!!! [...] Thanks again for everything. —F.L., Hod Hasharon, Israel, February 2018
Correct Toes has been a game changer, as have the Catalyst Pedals [...] I've also enjoyed your email course series. I signed up for several, including Flat Feet—a lifelong issue from childhood that is steadily going away with foot-healthy shoes, Correct Toes, exercises, and chiropractic therapy. The pronation is gone and arches, though low, are now visible [...] I really appreciate your work! —T.W., Kennesaw, GA, January 2018
It's been a process for me to try to get my feet back to health and the Natural Footgear site has been amazingly helpful. Thanks so much for making great information and products available. —P.B., Berkeley, CA, January 2018
I want to thank you for the speedy shipments of my last few recent orders. The Primal 2s are working out great around the house.

I want to thank you again for putting me on this path to natural foot health! Natural foot health is so exciting! —J.B., Batesville, IN, January 2018
I've been to a podiatrist twice, have a prescription being filled for orthotics, and never once did anyone tell me how to reverse the problems I have: neuroma and a bunion. I've started doing the exercises from the Neuromas course, and in just a few days I am already seeing a fair amount of improvement. Thank you so much for giving me some hope! —J.W., January 2018
Just put them all on [Correct Toes, Injinji toe socks, Strutz foot pads, and Lems Boulder Boots] and LOVE them. I'm excited to try them hiking but will take my time around the house first!

I am loving my Correct Toes and Strutz foot pads. Both of these have decreased the pain I would have otherwise felt from my Morton’s neuroma. I am amazed that my toes do seem to be straightening out. Thank you a million times over. —E.M., Blue Hill, ME, December 2017
I received these very good looking boots today. Trying them out here in the house. These boots feel good, and with your toe socks, amazing! I will be buying more and recommending them to my friends. —N.P-C., Vicksburg, MI, December 2017
Love them, so comfortable. My feet have never felt so good in shoes. —M.M., Belle Chasse, LA, December 2017
You're lightning-fast! I JUST placed that order and am wholly impressed with every aspect of your website and products. WOW! [...] I am SO excited to try out these products. —J.F., West New York, NJ, December 2017
I love all the products I bought from you and wear my Correct Toes daily in my Lems [...] I no longer have any debilitating sciatic pain since I started walking and exercising in Correct Toes! So, I'm over the moon. Thanks! —C.W., Toronto, ON, Canada, December 2017
I absolutely love my Lems, I can wear the toe spacers with no problem, I'm in love. —M.J.S., Riverview, FL, December 2017
My Lems Nine2five shoes were scheduled to arrive early next week but they arrived today! [...] These shoes feel great and I love them! They are amazing! [...] Catalyst Pedals and the Nine2five shoes are the best innovations, and I'm excited! [...] I want to thank you again for all your help and for starting me on the path to proper foot health. Most importantly, for having the information and resources to do it. Thank you! —J.B., Batesville, IN, December 2017
I just wanted to message you and say “thank you!” [...] it seems your company was a wonderful choice. [My mom] loves the boots, says they're incredibly comfortable, sturdy, yet still move with her feet wonderfully! Your products really seem to be fabulous, and I am so very thankful to you for all the help you offered! —M.M, November 2017
Thanks so much for turning this order around so fast! The new pair [...] feel great! I will definitely be buying from you again!! —M.H., Port Matilda, PA, November 2017
I love these boots! So comfortable, and they seem to complement anything I wear! And thank you as well for the in-depth information you provide to those of us who have imperfect feet! You are helping a lot of people! —S.W., Purcellville, VA, November 2017
I've been wearing Lems for about a year. It's been a journey, switching my footwear from other shoes [...] Wearing your shoes is foot heaven! I just ordered your Boulder Boots. I hike a lot, and I can't wait to receive these foot friends! I can feel my feet getting stronger on every crazy adventure! I wonder how I ever wore constrictive shoes with elevated heels. There's nothing like being connected to the Earth. Love Your Lems. Best Footwear on Earth. —S.S., Hayden, ID, November 2017
My boots and spacers were delivered yesterday. The boots are heavenly on my feet [...] I wore them around the house yesterday and walking in them was incredibly comfortable and easy. I have bunion pain and some metatarsal issues and from the briefest wearing, I think these may change things dramatically. Thank you! —P.N., Madison, WI, November 2017
I suffer from hammertoes ... These shoes felt amazing from the minute I put them on. Wow. They feel wonderful. I don't want to take them off. The toe socks are great too—they keep my toes from rubbing bone to bone. I can't say enough about these shoes, I am telling everyone about them. Thank you! —M.P., Halcott Center, NY, November 2017
I just spent four days in Atlanta, in which time I walked about 80,000 steps, and 35 miles. Mostly on concrete. Although I definitely felt worn out at the end of every day, I was amazed to find that that at no point did my feet hurt, or feel numb, or anything [...] miraculously, my feet and my entire body feel better and less sore than they have in at least a few years [...] I feel like I'm ready to walk around the whole world. Thanks so much, guys! My feet feel amazing! —S.M., Asheville, NC, October 2017
I have to tell you that the Lems Primal 2, Lems Nine2five, and Correct Toes combined with the education from your email teaching series has changed my life [...] Since exclusively using the Lems products and Correct Toes [my] pain has gone away completely. It is heaven to walk with no pain [...] Thank you for your work and education to allow me to take back my passion for hiking. —J.M., San Marcos, TX, October 2017
After my first full day in toe socks and my new Lems, I’m a total convert. The extra space in the toe box is a game changer and the toe socks feel great. I’ll be spreading the gospel here in the Lowcountry. Keep your eyes peeled for more orders from Charleston! —T.K., Charleston, SC, October 2017
You guys have amazing service [...] I can't tell you how much Correct Toes is changing my life. To start, I suffered from sciatica bad enough that I couldn't walk a city block without pain and often would have to rest at the end (or in the middle) of a block before trying to walk the next block. I knew it had to do with my feet (long story how) but could not correct it. I found Correct Toes and have had them about 2 weeks and [...] I've had no sciatica for about 2 weeks! My whole body is changing from the ground up right now, so I can't tell you how happy I am I found Correct Toes and Natural Footgear. —C.W., Toronto, ON, Canada, October 2017
I have to say that Correct Toes is performing a miracle. Thank you again. —J.T., Ste-Élizabeth de Warwick, QC, Canada, October 2017
Hey, Drs. Marty and Robyn Hughes! Thank you for all that you and the Natural Footgear team have done to help educate me on the revolutionary truths of foot health! Your products and amazing information have truly changed my life! For over six years I had nagging feet, ankle, and knee pain, but now my feet and entire body are feeling better and better, and I finally enjoy walking, running, and wearing footwear! [...] Again, thank you for the magnificent impact you’ve had on my life. —S.D., Charleston, SC, September 2017
I feel like I can get excited about my goals and running again! I feel very encouraged by my progress so far! [...] Thank you for sharing this education! It is truly life changing for me! It is truly a blessing! —K.R., Dundee, MI, September 2017
I want to compliment you all [...] For someone who has suffered from foot ailments for most of my adult life, between the shoes [Topo ST-2s] and the Strutz foot pads, I felt (almost) immediate relief! —M.B., Townsend, DE, September 2017
It's like walking on clouds! I just went on a 10-day walking vacation and they [Altra shoes] were wonderful. A bruise on my left big toe that has been bothering me for three years is finally going away. The [Correct Toes] seem to be alleviating a small bunion on my right foot that a doctor told me could only be relieved with surgery. I love you guys! —C.C., Bristow, VA, August 2017
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great information [...] Due to walking and training either barefoot or with minimalist shoes, virtually all [of my] foot issues are gone ... amazing. Your site is [...] excellent, accurate and priceless for [those of] us with biomechanical/foot issues. Thanks. —J.C., Seattle, WA, August 2017
The Correct Toes are miraculous. —D.K., Jacksonville, FL, August 2017
My feet haven't been this unpressured and happy since the day I was born (not that I remember though). I knew that there had to be someone on this planet that designed what I needed! I picked up the shoes half an hour ago or so. I told myself ("they'll be okay"). Amen! They are so okay! [...] Finally, I have what I need! Thank you!!!! —D.K., London, ON, Canada, August 2017
I'm the happy new owner of my first minimalist footwear and barely want to take them off to sleep. The shoes and socks are great, and the foot cream is already helping my poor feet [...] Y'all just plain rock. Thank you so much! —B.B., Westlake Village, CA, August 2017
I appreciate your efforts to seek out and make available to us footwear that promotes actual foot health, as well as all the valuable information you provide concerning the health of our feet. I am so grateful to have discovered your work! I could never go back to the torture of “regular” shoes. —D.M., Calvert City, KY, August 2017
I love the shoes, and the Correct Toes are already helping. I'll be recommending your website to my Structural Integration clients, and other people, too. —P.F., Kennewick, WA, August 2017
Thank you. I'm glad I found your website because it has opened my mind to new ideas about how to solve my foot problems that nobody has been able to help me with for the past several years. —C.C., Orland Park, IL, August 2017
I am pleased with how promptly I received my order. I am pleased with everything! [...] Until I learned about your product I thought surgery was my only help. Thanks. —S.C., Colorado Springs, CO, August 2017
Learning from your Natural Footgear site, and wearing Correct Toes and Altra shoes has allowed me to (without pain) keep doing what I like doing most. So, thank you! I always send people your way when they complain about their feet and shoes. —M.M., Juneau, AK, August 2017
I wanted to say that I love your company. You are always quick to respond, helpful, and your website is simple and easy to view products and place orders. I like that you don’t have too many products, but that everything you do have has a purpose on the site and offers value. Thanks so much for all you do! —H.B., Elgin, TX, August 2017
Thank you for being a terrific shoe and more company! [...] Your teachings are very in-depth and needed by people! —D.K., London, ON, Canada, August 2017
The large, painful callouses that I had on the balls of my feet for most of my adult life have completely disappeared! [...] I have much happier feet! Thank You. —R.T., Lakeville, MA, August 2017
Thank you so very much!!! As a heart patient, these socks [Injinji compression toe socks] have helped me tremendously in controlling swelling in my lower legs, while the freedom in the toes has allowed me to exercise without pain from injuries I sustained in Iraq. These, along with my Lems shoes, have been a godsend. —H.V., United States Armed Forces, Europe, July 2017
I love it! I feel like I'm walking barefoot! You may not know, but it is customary for most Indians to be barefoot within their homes—the natural way! And so to feel likewise with natural footwear is brilliant! —B.T., Pune, India, July 2017
The spacers are working great in the first few hours [...] the relief on my affected toes has been dramatic already! Thanks! —V.C., Bainbridge Island, WA, July 2017
I am already SO happy with the difference your product makes to my feet and to the rest of me. Will order Strutz Pro and some shoes next. Thanks so much for your innovative and excellent product. —H.B., Christchurch, New Zealand, July 2017
[I have to give you] credit for all of the help and support you have given to me. It has been a very awesome and rewarding journey. Thank you. —T.C., Indianapolis, IN, July 2017
I’d like to say a special “thank you” to you. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such terrific customer service!! [I’ve] got my fingers crossed that I can get these toes of mine under control. I appreciate all the help and look forward to a shoe purchase soon. Smiles! —K.B., Fairport, NY, July 2017
Just a quick note to express appreciation—again—for your assistance. I am so glad for your expertise and manner of business. Just super customer service. You all have been exceedingly generous with your time and, again, thank you. —C.H., Victoria, BC, Canada, June 2017
I have been wearing your shoes for a few days now (I had purchased the Lems Boulder Boot in black canvas). They are probably the best shoes I have worn in a long time. I've been turning people at my workplace onto them. So comfortable [...] Thank you again for making such great products available to improve our lives. —M.M., Jacksonville, FL, June 2017
My wife is thrilled with the shoes from you; in fact, the non-shoe products as well. We ordered them just before our trip to France. She wore the Lems, the Topo ST-2s, and a pair of the Xero Shoes Umara Z-Trail sandals all over. City streets, hiking paths, sand beaches, you name it. She is a convert! You have a very happy customer. —D.H., Highland Park, IL, June 2017
I love my shoes! I tell everyone about your company. Come fall I'll be ordering a couple of pairs of boots. Your shoes are the only brands I'm interested in. You guys are the best, pure and simple! —R.R., Bellingham, WA, May 2017
All I wear now is Lems shoes. My feet love me for it. Thanks again. —K.P., Gresham, OR, May 2017
Well, it's been over a week since I started wearing my Lems Boulder Boots on a daily basis at work. I am very pleased with how they feel being worn in conjunction with my Correct Toes toe spacers. Eight hours of being on my feet never felt so comfortable. Now I can wear my toe spacers almost all the time [...] In fact, other than taking them off to shower [...] I haven't had to take my toe spacers off at all. I have even been wearing them in bed! Thanks for offering such great products. Also, thanks for the fabulous customer service! —B.H., Fountain Valley, CA, May 2017
The shoes, Correct Toes, and the science behind your website has changed my life. I am 76 years old and have had foot issues for my entire life. I have now tossed more shoes and arch supports than you could imagine. —J.J., Highland Park, IL, May 2017
Again, thanks a million for your valuable service, information, and products. —S.S., Berlin, Germany, May 2017
Thank you for your help. I love the products I have purchased so far. Now, my husband is interested!! Another order coming. —M.H., Shirley Center, MA, May 2017
I love you guys and the work you do. Your many articles and products have helped me tremendously. —S.D., Summerville, SC, May 2017
I have been telling everyone I know about how impressed I am with [...] Natural Footgear. You offer so much information, and you stand behind your products. It's appreciated. Thanks so much. —S.D., Morrisville, PA, May 2017
You people are awesome! Thanks! —R.R., Bellingham, WA, April 2017
My order arrived today and I'm thrilled with my Lems! I will be buying more! Thank you for your quick reply to my last email and for your great service [...] my feet feel as though they are in heaven! Expect more orders from me in the future! Thank you for having such an awesome business and such great service! —C.B., Lake Toxaway, NC, April 2017
I want to let you know that my feet have improved about 70 percent since I started with Correct Toes! This is amazing!!! [...] please give my best and warm regards to all of your team as well as my thanks for your support and help, especially in the beginning phase when I was in a lot of pain. You always answered my questions right away, and I will never forget the help I got from all of you!!! —F.L., Hod Hasharon, Israel, April 2017
Thank you for all of your instructional videos. I now believe that my toes can be corrected. I’m using Correct Toes, the metatarsal pads, and the exercises. I have been running for 30 years and am now 78, so my feet need a good bit of realignment. Thank you for this website. —D.G., Olathe, KS, April 2017
I love, love, love my Lems Boulder Boots! Anyone who has a bunion knows how difficult it is to find comfortable shoes either for everyday use or for hiking. I cannot believe how comfortable these boots are and how great it is to have happy feet. I've only had them for a little over a week and I have already worn them to walk up and down hills, over rough trails, and 13 miles in one stretch—with absolutely no issues! They are so lightweight, and honestly, I don't even know that I have a bunion when walking in them. They were ready to wear right out of the box, and an added bonus is that they're so cute! I have received many compliments. My lucky day was when I stumbled across your website frantically looking for boots that wouldn't irritate the bunion. Thanks so much for a product that truly does what is advertised. Highly recommend!!! —J.C., Chester, VA, April 2017
Thank you for letting me find you with a Google search! The Lems are very comfy for me and get me through even a long day at work. I am using Dr. McClanahan's YouTube videos to help me see all the great reasons to use my Correct Toes, and I am very hopeful for foot recovery with them! [...] I am ordering toe socks and more toe spacers today! —S.R., Knoxville, TN, April 2017
I finally ordered and received the Lems Primal 2. The fit is perfect and so very comfortable. Needless to say, I am overwhelmed, as I have been trying for years now to find a walking shoe to accommodate my rather large bunions and newly diagnosed capsulitis. I also have arthritis and osteoporosis, so keeping fit and mobile for me is imperative. Being able to wear the Correct Toes in these shoes is also a big plus, and they do not look like an orthopedic shoe. I am looking forward to my daily 5K to see how they hold up. Thank you for your prompt service and great informational website. —T.L., San Francisco, CA, April 2016
I received my Correct Toes today and I'm wearing them. I really like the bunion email lessons I’m receiving too. I now have hope that I won't have to live the rest of my life in pain!! —J.S., Hughesville, PA, April 2017
Thank you for answering all my questions [...] Your website is really well done and it provides everything. I am really satisfied with your services, and I am glad that I found such a website. —P.H., Veličná, Slovakia, April 2017
I am so enjoying my Lems and metatarsal pads! It's the first time in years that I'm experiencing the pleasure of walking and standing [...] I now suspect that my foot issues came from years of a small toe box in almost all the shoes I've worn, EVEN THOUGH I've almost always chosen “sensible” shoes. Now I find that sensible wasn't enough. I am joyous over the Lems, and to me, they are a sensuous shoe. My toes are now singing and not whining. Thank you!! —K.M., Syracuse, NY, April 2017
I’m very impressed and appreciative of all of the education you include on your great site and am happy to be able to refer folks to such a helpful business. Thanks again! —S.M., Medford, OR, April 2017
I received my new Boulder Boots last night and I LOVE them!! I started with Lems shoes last year and realized that nothing else was going to work to keep my feet working and feeling as if they are healing. And they feel like heaven! I am preparing for a backpacking trip on Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and this is a great way to get ready. Thank you!! —S.H., Almont, MI, April 2017
I received my Lems Primal 2 order and I am very pleased with how they fit and feel while wearing them with my "Correct Toes" toe spacers. Great products, and great customer service. Thanks! —B.H., Fountain Valley, CA, March 2017
I received my first pair of toe socks! They were very comfortable and helped my crooked toes stay away from each other! Thanks! —C.S., Bedford, OH, March 2017
I just wanted to let you know how much I like these Lems Primal 2 shoes. They really feel good and give me space to move my feet [...] Also, thank you so much for your mini-course education on foot ailments. I'm learning how to take care of my feet, having numbness issues and bunions, with the hope of getting rid of them naturally. The toe spacers are really helping; the bottoms of my feet are pink and soft, and the calluses/cracks already went away in only 1 week! There just seems to be more circulation. —S.T., Colquitt, GA, March 2017
You guys are perfect! Thank you! —D.W., Santa Fe, NM, March 2017
I really appreciate your responsive feedback and customer-centric service. Thank you very much ... I'm one exceptionally pleased "future" customer. —T.F., Dothan, AL, February 2017
I have received my Lems Primal 2s and I am LOVING them. I have replaced the laces with Hickies [no-tie laces] and after finding the right way to lace them—not too tight or too loose—I am thrilled with the fit and the ease of being able to pull them on and off without having to fiddle with [conventional] laces. This is the best and most comfortable shoe [...] I have ever owned. I’m a convert, for sure! [...] I’m also happy with all of my other purchases from your site and thank you and the NFG team for offering such great products. —S.W., Medford, OR, February 2017
My Correct Toes and shoes arrived yesterday. I have started wearing the Correct Toes for short periods and I am pleased with them. The shoes fit perfectly while wearing the Correct Toes. I am very pleased with the service I received, and also with the shoes and Correct Toes. I look forward to getting out and about in them. —M.O., Nelson, New Zealand, February 2017
I collected the Boots from my local Post Office and am wearing them as I type this. They are marvelous, and if my toes could speak they would say thanks as well. Thanks! —R.M., Devizes, Wiltshire, UK, February 2017
I just received my fourth pair of shoes from Natural Footgear ... and I LOVE them. I have worn traditional athletic shoes most of my life [...] In my fifties, I started having ball of foot pain due to calluses forming on my metatarsals. I actually had the calluses cut off by a podiatrist, which was horribly painful and the calluses grew back. Then I began to notice my toes shifting, and a painful callus formed on the underside of my fourth toe because of the pressure my little toe was putting on it. I began looking for a solution and came across the wonderful bank of information on the Natural Footgear site. I ordered the toe spacers, toe socks, and a pair of brown Lems Primal 2 shoes in October 2016. Loved them. The transition to a minimalist shoe took a little time, but the more I wore the Primal 2, the more my toes rejected any other shoe that would try to bunch them up again. At this point, I now own a black pair of the Primal 2s, a pair of the Boulder Boots for hiking, and a pair of Topo ST-2s for walking/running. I wear the toe spacers 75 percent of the time, and the more I wear them, the better my feet feel. I have also added the metatarsal pads. The painful callus on the underside of my fourth toe is completely gone. The metatarsal calluses are greatly reduced and I expect them to disappear altogether. The pain in my feet is minimal at this point. I am extremely happy with the shoes/products I have purchased from Natural Footgear and will venture to say that [my experience with Natural Footgear] has changed my whole line of thinking when it comes to my feet. Thank you! —B.V., Hartley, TX, February 2017
Thank you so much for your recommendation! I went ahead and ordered the Lems Primal 2 in black and I love them. They work with my Correct Toes and they are super comfortable. They are also really cute [...] I think they look sporty and fun. Thank you so much for your terrific help! —A.H., Hendersonville, NC, February 2017
I just want to reiterate how informative and well done (easy to understand and visually enjoyable) your site is [...] Truly, awesome job! —S.W., Medford, OR, February 2017
This [Correct Toes] is a great product and thank you very much for your service! —A.I., Bronx, NY, February 2017
I'm so happy to report that your shoes have helped me so very much. It's amazing that such a lightweight shoe with what seems like no support actually offers the best support ever. I have been to 2 rounds of my boot camp with no heel or ball of foot pain at all [...] Thank you again so very much. —P.A., Prairieville, LA, January 2017
Just home from work (retail) and happy beyond words with the Lems shoes on my feet. I have been suffering from a bunion on my left foot for the past few months—something especially hard on a 61-year-old. It was also impacting my back and hips. Needless to say, I've tried a number of different shoes, exercises, and relief products with some success. Research led me to you. Can't wait to wear the Correct Toes and toe socks tomorrow!!! Thanks! —J.B., Lafayette, LA, January 2017
I love these shoes! [Lems Primal 2] Awesome! Comfortable. Thanks. —R.T., Saint Cloud, FL, January 2017
We don't get many snow days in Black Mountain each year, so when we do, we are sure to make the most of them. I recently bought the Due North Everyday Pro Winter Traction Aids and couldn't wait to use them. First on the agenda was a morning walk with my partner and my dog. I easily placed the traction aids over my Lems Boulder Boots and it was smooth sailing! I didn't slip or fall at all and the traction spikes made it easy to walk on packed snow and even black ice. Next, I went for a trail run in the afternoon. Again, I put the traction aids over my Altra Superior 2.0 shoes and hit the trail near my house. It was awesome! I was able to run without fear of slipping or falling on the ice. Great product and thank you! —L.T., Black Mountain, NC, January 2017
I just placed my order a little while ago. I look forward to continuing to heal my feet, and I appreciate all the helpful info on your website. I feel like I got a solid education by reading many of the posts. —J.D., Pacifica, CA, January 2017
Thank you so much for your time and the timely manner you delivered my package. Plan on having more of my business in the future. Happy New Year! —T.R.J., Nehalem, OR, January 2017
Fantastic service and I love the Lems I ordered! Thanks! —K.O., Columbia, MO, January 2017
My physical therapist was here today. She said she could see how the Injinji compression toe socks have helped me already [...] and how the compression itself has improved my ankle as well ... AND I've only been wearing them a couple days!!!!! [...] Thank you for what you are doing to improve the average American's foot woes. —B.H., Le Raysville, PA, December 2016
Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that I'm happy with the Lems Nine2fives at my UPS job [...] Only took a day or two to break in and they work great with my Correct Toes, and the boss even complimented me on having a shoe that finally meets their dress code :) [...] Have a great thanksgiving and I appreciate everything you guys have done for me. Thank you! —B.M., Wisconsin, November 2016
Thank you [...] Your service is outstanding! —S.C., Tecumseh, MN, November 2016
I just received my order of the Lems Primal 2 Black shoes. I absolutely love them! They feel so light on my feet. There is plenty of room in the toe box to wear the toe spacers [...] I also like that there is extra traction on the back of the heel, inside the shoe (so that there is no heel slippage) [...] I absolutely love your products! —L.B., King of Prussia, PA, November 2016
Thanks very much for the excellent customer service, Natural Footgear! —M.C., Nashua, NH, November 2016
I've been wearing Correct Toes for over a year now and I truly believe in what they do. I've been wearing [foot-healthy] shoes in conjunction with Correct Toes. My legs no longer hurt, I have not had one shin splint that I can remember, and my feet don't bother me as much [...] I'm very happy with these products you offer. —B.M., Wisconsin, November 2016
I love my Correct Toes already! Thank you for creating such a thoughtful product. —D.B., Alameda, CA, November 2016
For many of my runs, and certainly, for most other circumstances, I tend to wear my Luna sandals that I bought from you years back. I can't believe the miles those sandals have seen and they are still doing really well. They are my go-to footwear whenever possible and I just love them. —E.R., Ontario, Canada, October 2016
I've been wearing Correct Toes and the Strutz pads for the recommended time for 3 days now and I'm already feeling relief and seeing results!!! —C.T., Baton Rouge, LA, October 2016
I have been enjoying your shoes. I have a left foot drop secondary to a nerve compression. Despite surgery to decompress the L4/L5 area over a year ago, it persists. Your shoes, the spacers, and the Injinji socks, plus the Strutz foot pads, have been great! —E.F., Morristown, NJ, October 2016
I have been very impressed with [Correct Toes] and the practical advice you offer on your website about fitting the product [...] Thanks and best regards. —C.M., Derbyshire, United Kingdom, October 2016
This is excellent service. I am grateful [...] You have no idea how happy I am to have finally found “real” shoes properly designed. I am talking to everyone who wants to hear about it. Thanks! —M.A.G., Yamachiche, QC, Canada, October 2016
Thank you for your website. I recommend it to everyone! It is extremely well-written and informative, and I have finally found the answers I have been looking for after many years with conventional shoes and orthotics. —K.H., Sweden, October 2016
I just wanted to let you know that I love my Lems! After only five days my toes don't hurt. Thanks! —D.R., Lincoln, NE, October 2016
I have spread the word about your incredible business and service. Thank you for the fast replies and your tremendous help on this [...] Your help has been so incredibly valuable to me. Best wishes to you. —A.G., Brooklyn, NY, September 2016
Ever since I discovered Natural Footgear a year ago, I don't buy any shoes for my family unless they are recommended on your website [...] Thank you again for all the information you provide. It definitely saved me from a lot of pain. —M.S., September 2016
I frequent your website often and greatly appreciate all the information that is supplied. I ordered the Lems Boulder Boots and they arrived this week, I'm loving them [...] I have great confidence they will be great on the trail [...] Thank you for your insight. —L.B., September 2016
Let me thank all of you again for everything! I am doing all of your suggestions and I feel improvements already. I am glad to forward your website to whoever needs some help; it is so easy and so logical [...] such an amazing job [...] I am deeply moved because I feel you really do care about foot health, and you always take the time to answer my questions! That's truly amazing! Thank you so much! —F.L., Hod HaSharon, Israel, September 2016
It's been almost a whole summer since switching to Lems from a standard shoe and no ingrown toenails! I have noticed changes in my feet in terms of both looks and feel. I knew it [foot-healthy shoes] would change the feel, but the look of my foot has changed also. —G.S., September 2016
Thanks so much—you guys have great customer service! —S.S., Chicago, IL, September 2016
I just want to tell you how much I love the shoes [Lems Primal 2]. Because they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn in my whole life. And I'm 89 years-old, so that's a lot of shoes I've worn. And there's nothing like these. Thank you so much. —K.D., Boulder, CO, September 2016
After 6 years of nearly constant foot pain, Correct Toes have changed my life in only 5 months of owning them. I still have to wear them constantly to not be in pain, but wow. Thank you. —M.M., Wallace, MI, September 2016
Thank you, Team. I will be making orders in the future. You are a great company. Many of my friends and family use Natural Footgear. —S.M., Hampden, ME, September 2016
I wanted to inform you that I received my shoes [Lems Primal 2s] today. I've been struggling with my feet for a while and I am extremely impressed by these shoes. They feel amazing and allow my feet to remain in their natural position instead of cramming my toes together. They are super lightweight and easy to walk in. I can't wait to see progress in my feet. THANK YOU!! —S.M., Temple Hills, MD, August 2016
The most amazing thing is that, at 67 years old, I can stand and grip the rug with all my toes. Also, I feel better balanced and more stable. I have been a runner for a long time (16 marathons) and have put a lot of miles into my bent toes using custom liners that never helped as much as Correct Toes has. The shoes I bought feel very good too. Thanks for your great product. —T.F., Lowell, MA, August 2016
I love my Correct Toes and Lems Primal 2 shoes. They are the best, and I tell everyone about your website and the Correct Toes and shoes. —M.M., Phoenix, AZ, August 2016
I am so appreciative of your fast and kind service [...] and having already felt better, I am a convert. I am so impressed by your company. —A.G., Brooklyn, NY, August 2016
I'm delighted to say my Correct Toes arrived this morning. I'm so looking forward to using them. I just thought I'd add that I love your website. It's so informative, comprehensive, and helpful. It's the best website on foot health I've come across, and it's made me rethink the types of shoes I have been wearing. —D.D., Thornton Heath, UK, August 2016
Thank goodness for your products—they are the only ones that make sense to me [...] Thanks! —P.M., Poolesville, MD, August 2016
You folks at Natural Footgear are simply the best! —C.D., Pittsburgh, PA, August 2016
The spacers plus sandals arrived today and allowed me to walk with barely a limp (I have been disabled with sesamoiditis since January). I was so excited I videotaped myself walking and shared the video [...] I cannot tell you how relieved and thrilled I am to have found your products. I might be able to avoid surgery because of finding you. —M.S., Minneapolis, MN, August 2016
Excellent service! —S.J., Flemington, NJ, August 2016
I love you guys! You are important to my whole body health. As a former ventilator dependent tetraplegic, I cherish every day of my life. I walk with no mobility aides and spend an hour and a half on my home practice of yoga every day. It has been my on-going therapy after out-patient therapy ... and that's where my feet come in. One day I noticed that my lean, long feet had two long toes that were curling up. I was horrified! I went to work on Google, found you, and the rest is history. —M.H., South Orange, NJ, August 2016
Wow! [...] It's so refreshing to be treated as a person, and not as a mere consumer. There is so much that I appreciate about Natural Footgear already, and your prompt, courteous customer service certainly sweetens the pot. I will definitely continue to recommend your website and products to my friends and fellow rock climbers (we're notorious for foot problems). —L.A., Sitka, AK, July 2016
I just want to let you know how amazing I feel wearing Correct Toes, the amazing toe socks, and now the amazing hiking boots! I had sesamoid surgery 13 weeks ago and could not get my toe into any shoe until I stumbled on your website. Thank you, thank you so much for all the info, the great care that you provide for your customers, and the awesome products [...] I am so happy to be [walking] with the right tools and a natural stride. I've shared with so many others about your awesome products, and I hope that soon more people are educated as I have been. I truly don't ever want to go through another tough surgery as I did and I will prevent it with you all by my side! Again, thank you very much! —L.S., El Paso, TX, July 2016
I just wanted to let you know that the Lunas are fantastic! Best shoe I've ever worn! A joy to walk or run in, and I get compliments on them frequently. —E.R., Durham, NC, July 2016
I recently was desperate for shoes and help after my surgery, and I found your site. I found your site very informative, and really understood all your videos and your awesome Correct Toes, so I ordered some as well as your socks and shoes [...] As soon as I put on the toe socks, just the compression alone helped so much [...] I have shared your awesome website with my podiatrist because it is amazing info. And also with many women I work with, with foot pain. Thanks for all you do! What would I do without you! [...] Thank you! —L.S., El Paso, TX, July 2016
I have been able to almost completely release my previously fixed hammertoes by stretching them 5 minutes or so every night. [Your Hammertoes email series] is a fantastic course. I only wish I had seen it 20 years ago before my hammertoes became fixed. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. —R.A., July 2016
The toe spacers are amazing. My wife has had two surgeries for neuromas in the past, and I've dealt with a left foot neuroma for 20 years since my days in Special Operations as a Recon Marine, followed by playing college football & baseball, five Iron-distance triathlons, etc. I've worked on and off with athletes and military and law enforcement officers regarding their physical training since 1996, and NEVER have I found a solution to foot trouble as simple, elegant, and effective as the toe spacers. —D.S., Orcutt, CA, June 2016
Suffice it to say, I love your site and educational content. I love my Correct Toes and plan to buy some Lems in the near future. I have RRMS and anything to help my feet, balance, and posture is a bonus —E.A., Washington, DC, June 2016
The small size Correct Toes are perfect! Your customer service has been stellar! —C.C., Pfafftown, NC, June 2016
I am very happy with my current results since using Correct Toes toe spacers. [Correct Toes] has been effective in relieving my bunion pain [...] I have also purchased a pair of compression toe socks and no show toe socks. The Altra shoes I purchased with the wide toe box have also been effective in relieving my foot pain. I love your products! —J.B., San Leandro, CA, May 2016
WOW! I have flat feet and I'm 60, but your shoes feel FANTASTIC on my feet [...] Thanks again for such a wonderful product. —K.K., Ben Lomond, CA, May 2016
This website has provided me with over ninety percent of all knowledge I have about foot form and function. Now, I have finally been able to purchase footwear from you (Lems Boulder Boots) and am more than satisfied. The first time I wore them, I just wanted to run! I wear them everywhere I wear shoes (which isn't much), even for formal occasions. They are the only shoes I have that are not uncomfortable. Thank you for everything you do. I look forward to buying from you again soon! —B.H., Victorville, CA, May 2016
I just passed your website and my excellent experience on to my podiatrist who has performed some 4 surgeries on my feet. When I was in his office this week he asked where I got the great shoes I was wearing. They were my Lems Primal 2s that I bought from you all. Also, our one son really appreciates his Boulder Boots he wears to work and also on a hiking trip with friends this past fall on the Appalachian Trail in New England. Thanks again for all your help and your very excellent and informative website. —A.M., Ephrata, PA, April 2016
I'm very glad to have run across your website about a year ago when my podiatrist was out of town for a month and I was desperate for relief from my capsulitis. I was considering surgery at the time. After discovering your website, I immediately quit using arch support, started wearing Correct Toes, Strutz metatarsal pads, and Altra shoes. I transitioned from Altra shoes to Lems in about a year based on information from your website and am now pain free. Thank you! —W.W., Lebanon, NJ, April 2016
Thanks for your help. I've sent many people to your site and everyone loves it! —J.B., Asheville, NC, April 2016
I am so happy I found your site, as everything is ringing true. I have struggled with shoes that were not wide enough for the ball of my feet and for my toes all my life, and now as I am approaching 50 I am not going to take it anymore. I just ordered two pairs of Lems last week and will be buying sandals soon [...] Thanks so much! —J.A., April 2016
I love your website! I am obsessed with finding good footwear, and I am delighted that people are FINALLY acknowledging that most shoes just aren’t shaped right. —A.H.B., Greenville, SC, April 2016
I just wanted to say that I was introduced to your site and I am really enjoying it. The articles have been interesting and educational. I'm looking forward to ordering some shoes soon! —I.S., Baton Rouge, LA, April 2016
Thank you all for great service, an extremely informative website, and wonderful products! —A.M., Ephrata, PA, April 2016
I have learned so much from your website. I was going to have bunion surgery when I discovered your website [...] I think I have watched and read everything on your website. So informative, and presented so clearly. I'm SO glad I found you! I'm a big fan! —C.J., Sedona, AZ, March 2016
My shoes arrived and they feel like heaven. It's all feeling very good. Thank you! —S.H., Almont, MI, March 2016
I've been using Correct Toes for 6 months now and I'm seeing some spacing between my toes [...] overall positive things are going on. I'm working on 71 years. Persistence is the program. Thanks! —B.B., Sahuarita, AZ, March 2016
Thanks for the help! I always refer my friends and family to your website when they complain of foot pain. —D.C., Campobello, SC, March 2016
I tell everybody about Correct Toes and I'm very thankful they were made and I can take advantage of getting better day by day with less pain. —D.S., Lake Mills, WI, March 2016
I'm rapt by your site and all the amazing and accessible information you have compiled. I'm big into foot health and I've been investigating various avenues for a little while now, but your site has been the jackpot. I'm feeling confident that I can finally get my feet on the right track. —M.F., February 2016
I am blown away by the fact that, after 15 years of wearing custom orthotic insoles, I have switched to your minimalist shoes for the past year, forgoing orthotics completely, and have much more foot comfort [...] I am totally won over to your view on healthy footwear and very thankful for the good work you have done! —A.M., Sackville, NB, Canada, February 2016
I just can't say enough about Correct Toes and my [foot-healthy] shoes. Now, after 4 months, I can't believe how my feet feel! Really, they physically feel different, and this 60-year-old knows painful feet no more. I line danced three solid hours the other day and gave away my old line dance shoes. Even my heel pain has left and I can now move my bunion toe away from overlapping my second toe! My next shoes will be the Lems Boulder Boots! Thank you for the gift of moving and walking! [...] I share with all who will listen. —N.O., Loma Linda, CA, February 2016
I just received the Correct Toes toe spacers, and I wanted you to know how pleased I am with them [...] I only wish that I had found them earlier, instead of wasting my money on other products that were nothing but a joke. —J.P.A., Cumming, GA, February 2016
Awesome! [...] You people are a joy to work with. I think I am going to have happy feet!!! —R.B., Madeira Beach, FL, February 2016
Since finding Natural Footgear in early 2015 when I was experiencing plantar fasciitis/fasciosis, I have taken advantage of the information on your excellent website to learn more about natural foot care, as well as ordering shoes and other products. I have seen a podiatrist for years, and it seemed recommendations were always limited to the wearing of another custom orthotic. Now my feet have become much stronger and more flexible since wearing minimalist shoes almost exclusively for the past year. —B.L., Winston-Salem, NC, February 2016
I am 71 years old and have been transitioning to minimalist footwear for a little over a year [...] I can see and feel that my feet are growing stronger. Correct Toes have been a big help. My toes had very limited movement to start with, but now are showing much greater range of motion. My favorite shoes are the Lems Nine2five. I can wear them for long periods of time, standing or walking [...] I have been very happy with your service. Thanks! —F.B., Parkville, MD, January 2016
I just opened my mail on Saturday to find my Boulder boots. I LOVE them. The fit is very nice and after just a few jaunts [...] on Sunday, I can tell they will be allowing my foot to return to normal. I just ordered two pairs of socks and the toe spacers. Thank you. —C.D., Ovid, MI, January 2016
I would like to say that I have had great service since I began ordering products from your company. Correct Toes and Injinjis have been life-changing for my mom who has suffered from painful bunions and hammertoes for 15+ years [...] Thank you. —M.K., Richmond, KY, January 2016
Thanks for all that you do. My Lems shoes (Primal 2 and now Boulder Boots) and Correct Toes have changed my life. I have had foot pain all my life and have now found a way to walk pain-free! Once I saw your videos and understood why even the widest shoes were not comfortable, I jumped on the bandwagon. I have told so many people about the importance of wide toe splay, why "wide" shoes are not wide where they need to be, the myths about arch support in shoes, the use of Correct Toes to help the feet relearn proper alignment, etc. Keep up the good work! —T.D., St. Paul, MN, January 2016
My toes can't wait to wake up to them [Correct Toes] tomorrow! —D.B., Irvine, CA, January 2016
I received my Correct Toes and I absolutely love them. My feet are so happy. I can tell my toes are becoming straighter already. —M.H., Apollo Beach, FL, January 2016
I just got my new shoes. I'll totally recommend you guys! —J.S., Delray Beach, CA, January 2016
I received the shoes today [Lems Primal 2], and I love them. I have just recently returned to walking after 17 years of not being able to do so! What a great shoe to help me regain my balance and gait. I'm sure I'll be ordering another pair or two!! Thank you so much for your assistance when I needed it. —S.P., Tampa, FL, January 2016
Once again thank you so much for your quick response [...] I look forward to purchasing more products from your website and will be recommending the company to family and friends as well!! —D.L., Racine, WI, January 2016
In a society where most comments are only made when negative, I am taking the time to compliment your company. I have used Correct Toes and the Altra Zero Drop shoes [...] to get rid of my shin splints. I also have bunions, and have found that these help with any pain I had. I watched the video on this site and read up on it. It is great! I hope you continue to carry more brands and inform our society on foot health [...] I informed both of my Physical Therapists of this company and they have found it useful and great to recommend to patients! Thank you for being a great company that brings a new style that looks good and allows our toes to spread. It is greatly appreciated! —K.W., Arlington, VA, January 2016
I wanted to give you some feedback on the shoes and the socks. They are wonderful, and I plan to order some more [...] I love my socks and how they keep my feet soooooooooooo warm [...] it feels like I have an electric blanket set on low on them. For someone who has cold feet, I would highly recommend them [...] the shoes fit perfectly, and I plan to order another pair of shoes. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever had in 67 years of walking on this earth [...] I am recommending your site to others like myself, who have years of unresolved [problems] [...] Love the socks, Love the shoes, and Love, Love, Love, your website [...] Thanks once again, Natural Footgear. —F.W., Ft. Washington, MD, January 2016
I am a 60-year-old female who has been in Correct Toes, Injinji socks, and [foot-healthy shoes] since mid-October. My toe neuroma has all but disappeared! I am able to walk several miles with no issues and be on my feet for long periods of time. I had been in orthotics since 1990! I am loving the change in my gait [...] Sure glad I found Correct Toes and Natural Footgear! —N.O., Visalia, CA, December 2015
Can I just say how much I appreciate you answering all my questions, and for being so helpful. The shoes and socks I bought are brilliant as well. I hope everyone at Natural Footgear has a very happy holiday weekend. —A.A., Springfield Gardens, NY, December 2015
Wow! I am so happy to have found this website [...] Thank you for all the information and effort that has been put forth to give people this knowledge [...] I am looking forward to purchasing some of your products. Keep spreading the knowledge. —D.M., December 2015
I am VERY happy with the Lems boots I got from Natural Footgear and have received so many compliments already! Thanks! —P.D., Norcross, GA, December 2015
I'm feeling great [...] Ever since I started wearing your shoes, I haven't had any foot issues. I've still been using an old pair of "normal" sneakers for yard work, and I can't stand putting my feet into them anymore. So, time for another pair of shoes. This will be my fourth pair. —W.M., Haymarket, VA, December 2015
Since wearing my [foot-healthy shoes] since January I won't go with anything for walking or aerobics except these [...] I don't even notice I have hammertoes anymore. I'm going with your new Topo Santes next! —T.H., Delaware, OH, December 2015
Thank you! I can tell you guys care about people and their health. —M.H., Bellflower, CA, December 2015
I bought some Lems Boulder Boots from you guys a few weeks back; they arrived. I've been wearing them with the toe spacers and been super happy. Awesome website btw guys!! [...] I've recommended a few people to it when they ask about my cool shoes because it is such a clear and friendly introduction into minimalist footwear. Thank you! —L.G., Yeronga, Queensland, Australia, November 2015
Tomorrow will be one month that I have been wearing my toe spacers faithfully. I practice yoga approximately 1.5 hours a day and can feel the new splay in my toes; it's a great feeling! —M.H., South Orange, NJ, November 2015
I wanted to say it has been a pleasure doing business with you. You don't get this type of service often, so thank you. —B.S., Erie, PA, November 2015
I appreciate your dedication to good customer service [...] The toe separators have been really helpful to my mom [...] Thank you. —C.C., Kilauea, HI, November 2015
Many thanks for all this great info and the suggestions. I will avail myself of all of them and look forward to more Natural Footgear products going forward. So happy to have found such a great resource! —M.H., West Halifax, VT, November 2015
I want to say how much I appreciate your company. I'm a proud owner of Correct Toes, and enjoy your newsletters because they offer actual useful information. Thanks! —D.M., North Bethesda, MD, November 2015
I love the toe spacers [...] sometimes I wear them all night. And I really think they are helping [...] I am trying I do the exercises and the spacers definitely help and I love the toe socks too. —L.L., Flippin, AR, November 2015
I would love to express my gratitude!!! [Correct Toes and foot-healthy footwear] have enabled me to run regularly again; these products have changed my life. I no longer have constant foot pain and my bunions no longer swell or ache! It's truly amazing to be able to run with no discomfort! Thank you! —A.C., Meadow Lake, SK, Canada, November 2015
You guys are so awesome! —E.C., Oviedo, FL, November 2015
I love my Lems shoes and Injinji socks; I wore them both for the first time today and my bunions feel much better! I'm a teacher on my feet all day and my legs and knees also felt like they were properly aligned. I was comfortable for the entire day, which is unusual. Thanks for providing high-quality products. I'm certain I will be ordering again from you in the future. —M.L., Sussex, NJ, October 2015
Your website has been a game changer for me. I'm placing my order today. Thanks again for all your help! —B.R., Middletown, DE, October 2015
I received the Correct Toes and am very pleased with them. I am experiencing improvement in my runner's knee [...] Thank you! —R.S., Freeport, PA, October 2015
Thank you so much for all your help and excellent customer service [...] Cheers!! —J.E., Miami, FL, October 2015
I have been happy with everything so far from Natural Footwear [...] You exceeded expectations. Thanks again. —V.S., Newport, WA, October 2015
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being so patient with my questions, and for taking the time to explain everything to me so thoroughly; I sincerely appreciate it ... it's service like you've provided that will keep me coming back and spreading the word about you guys!! —K.W., Janesville, WI, October 2015
Just wanted to let you know, I absolutely LOVE my Lems Boulder Boots! Ohmygosh, yayyyyy! I predict they will be one of a very few "go-to" pairs of shoes for me this fall and winter. Thank you for providing footwear that lets our feet do the work, the way they were designed to! Fondly and loyally. —S.T., Southbury, CT, October 2015
Over the years I have developed a firm conviction about the inadequacies of footwear, which Natural Footgear has confirmed. I have found few solutions until reading your site and seeing your research, which was very refreshing. There are few people I would trust to understand properly fitting footwear, but you guys have obviously done your homework [...] Thank you for your help. —J.R., Fort Payne, AL, October 2015
I'm a massage therapist and am so excited to start sharing all this info with my clients! Thanks! —K.S., Lakewood, CO, September 2015
I love my shoes. I have three pairs of Lems (Brown, Black, and Slate) as well as the Navy Stout Boulder Boot. I wore the boot hiking all through Iceland and it was amazing [...] I just wanted to let you know [...] that I am thoroughly pleased with my overall shoe purchases thus far. —P.D., Chicago, IL, September 2015
I am IN LOVE with the Injinji socks! I gave my 89-year old mother a pedicure and then washed and moisturized her feet and put on the Injinji socks - OMG, she LOVED them too and confiscated my coveted pair. Then I bought some more for her and also for myself. Thank you for your products and informative website. —C.T., Fullerton, CA, September 2015
I adore being in the know [...] My feet are happier, the feet of my friends, family, and clients are (and will be) happier, and random strangers' feet are happier—all because of the good work you do and empower us to do. Not sure how something so natural came to feel leading edge, but both are true! —S.S., Asheville, NC, September 2015
Thanks, Natural Footgear folks! My Be Real Shoes have arrived and I have them on. Perfect fit. I love 'em. I'm going to order a Lems pair too. Y'all are great for following through. —P.P., Sautee-Nacoochee, GA, August 2015
I must tell you my foot pain is going away already just by using the socks and the shoes [...] Being an Occupational Therapist, my professional experience makes me think that by having room in the shoe, that alone is providing improved flexibility and promoting circulation and therefore decreasing stiffness, pain, and swelling, which I think I might have had. I am so happy I found somebody to help me because I was having foot pain (especially in the right foot) since this past April. I went to two podiatrists, but they could not help me much like you have done. Now I am looking forward to my Hawaii vacation (with plans for a 4-mile hike) this September without worrying about walking with foot pain! [...] Thanks so much! —N.S., Tampa, FL, August 2015
I've been very pleased with the toe spreaders and two pairs of shoes purchased from your site for casual wear, and I have noted that my feet are stronger, my toes straighter, and my running stride more stable ... great stuff! —J.S., Ashland, NE, August 2015
I received my Correct Toes the middle of last week and have noticed a lot of difference in addressing back and leg pain. It's amazing to feel low back pain [dissipate] due to stretching out a hemmed-up, weak pinky toe. —D.W., Apex, NC, August 2015
These are my first pair of Lems, and they are awesome! Thank you for offering such a great product! —N.W., Fairfax, VA, August 2015
I LOVE [Correct Toes] and wear them 90% of my waking hours. I have purchased many of your products and have found relief from pinch callouses and regained foot strength! —A.B., San Francisco, CA, July 2015
Thank you so much! The Correct Toes perform marvelously. Your respect and genuine help is much appreciated [...] I will recommend you to everyone and my orthopedic specialist. —A.W., Austin, TX, July 2015
First, let me say thank you! Having had surgery a good 18 years ago, and having been plagued with [...] hallux limitus, orthotic use, cortisone injections, and pain, I finally said enough. I am so happy to say I started using my Correct Toes and natural footwear a good year ago. I have regained my balance, found relief in my feet from pain and inflammation, am now able to walk barefoot without discomfort, and have a newfound respect for my feet. —M.P., Bridgeton, MO, July 2015
I think your site is doing wonders for my feet! —S.A., Greer, SC, July 2015
Thanks for another great newsletter—I spend hours educating myself at your site and am very grateful for the service you offer. Thank you! —E.Y., Chevy Chase, MD, July 2015
I just wanted to tell you of my continued progress using Correct Toes. My toes lay flatter, my feet are a bit wider and my pain is significantly improved. Even my massage therapist noticed that my feet felt looser. This is the best my feet have felt in a year. My hope is to be able to wear them all night while I'm sleeping [...] Thank you for a great product. —C.B.C., Westerly, RI, July 2015
Thank you for all of your correspondence. Best customer service I've encountered online. —R.A., South Elgin, IL, July 2015
I am enjoying my new footgear (Correct Toes, Lems Primal 2 shoes, Injinji toe socks, metatarsal pads). After only one week of wearing Correct Toes, I can detect a little bit of change in my painful, crooked toe as well as numerous other changes throughout my body. It feels like my posture wants to be corrected also, and I try to respond by keeping to a healthy posture while sitting, standing, walking. —C.G., Watson, OK, July 2015
I have gotten into the foot game after a lifetime of abusing my feet, but better late than never! So happy to have found your website – lots of great info! —S.G., Altadena, CA, July 2015
I must tell you what has happened for me after checking out your website. I have suffered with plantar fasciitis (as diagnosed, anyway) since Easter of this year. Under the care of a physical therapy program [...] for other issues, I have also been following a program to treat the plantar fascia issue without results. My therapist told me to find Tuli's heel cups, which I could not find in local stores, so I went online and found your site, read the articles, and viewed the videos on the subject. After less than two days of doing the toe stretch provided on your site, I have all but eliminated my plantar fascia issue! [...] Thank you for your help. —M.H., Phoenix, AZ, July 2015
You have proven excellent with customer service and I appreciate that greatly! —A.S., Phoenix, AZ, July 2015
The package arrived today. My feet are happy. Thanks for the great communication and service. —J.S., Oakland, CA, July 2015
This [Correct Toes] is an outstanding product! —S.C., Burbank, CA, July 2015
Thank you all so much [...] Correct Toes has significantly changed my life. I've seen podiatrists, chiropractors, etc., been put in hard plastic orthotics, and blah blah blah. This is the most immediate relief I've ever felt. —C.F., Rhinebeck, NY, July 2015
Thanks for the pointers! Your customer service rocks! —S.Z., Shelton, WA, July 2015
You guys are great. May you reap good fruits! I hope to do business with you in the future. —L.R., Fort Benton, MT, July 2015
I'd like to thank you for this great product [Correct Toes]. I've been wearing it for a month and already feel benefits. No pain until I return to narrow shoes, and I'm going to get rid of such footwear as soon as I can. —K.N., Newark, DE, June 2015
So glad to find your company! Thank you so much. —D.G., Ann Arbor, MI, June 2015
Thank you for all the help you gave me. You gave me some great advice in terms of sizing and slow adjustment. I am very appreciative of that! —J.F., Cheshire, CT, June 2015
Thanks! I'll definitely be back to your store again! —T.F., Santa Fe, NM, June 2015
The Correct Toes product and your info have really helped. Not only can I wear sandals again, but the pain is totally relieved. —S.H., Greenville, IN, June 2015
Thank you for your very informative website! —H.F., Earlysville, VA, June 2015
Thank you and looking forward to my first pair of shoes from your company. I've been using Correct Toes for my sesamoiditis and am very pleased with the results. —J.K., Portland, OR, June 2015
I got my parcel from you a couple days ago. Thanks again. I'm wearing the toe spacers around the apartment and the sandals out and about. Love the sandals […] my feet have adapted quickly with very little discomfort. My feet feel stronger already :) —D.C., Santa Cruz, CA, June 2015
I placed my order … great boots! [Lems Boulder Boots] So comfortable … no problems at all, even good to run in!!! And reminds me of the '60's!!! All good!!! —S.W., Purcellville, VA, June 2015
Thanks! You guys are the best! —M.J., Baltimore, MD, June 2015
You guys are great! Thank you! —M.D., Sedona, AZ, June 2015
Thank you for your wonderful website and all the fantastic videos and information!! You have saved my feet! I have converted and really appreciate your site! THANKS!! —D.C., Sequim, WA, May 2015
Thank you so much for your help and for being a force for healthy feet. —J.C., Mountain Top, PA, May 2015
Thanks for the prompt shipment of the Injinji toe socks and Correct Toes […] I was at the point of seeing an orthopaedic surgeon, but I then stumbled onto Correct Toes online with you guys. Once I got them, it took about a week for notable pain relief. I'm now going into my fourth week with them and I can't not have them on! —C.A., Tasmania, Australia, May 2015
Thank you. I love your store! —M.C., Spring Branch, TX, May 2015
Thanks for all the great information on your site. I've sent it to all my family and friends with foot problems! —S.C., May 2015
Your website is really terrific. I have learned so much from the videos and am excited about trying to help my feet with exercises, massage, and better shoes! Thanks! —E.Z., Santa Rosa, CA, May 2015
Your customer service is great … I will definitely purchase from Natural Footgear again in the future! —D.C., Southwick, MA, May 2015
Thank you for amazing foot products! —D.B., Asheville, NC, May 2015
Thank you for the quick response. I was a bit timid to try the adjustments on my Correct Toes […] but decided to go ahead and try. It did the trick! With the new shoes, Correct Toes, and pads, I'm able to walk around with limited pain. Looking forward to the time when I can walk with no pain. I'm glad I found your website. —N.J., Ronan, MT, May 2015

I recently purchased a set of Correct Toes to help with plantar fasciitis. My right foot (heel) was so sore I could not put any weight on it [...] My heel pain is 95% gone and I no longer wear any arch supports or orthotics. Just my Correct Toes in my Lems shoes. —M.C., Fenton, MI, May 2015
Thank you so much for everything. Your customer service has been incredible! —H.M., Toronto, ON, Canada, May 2015
I'm pretty thrilled to have found your website, which is chock-full of informative information. Thank you! —E.Y., May 2015

My husband has very bad diabetic neuropathy and many other problems with his feet. He is on pain meds but this roll-on [Dr. Swaim’s Pain Relief Roll-On] has helped him so much in getting some continuous sleep at night. —B.J., Loch Sheldrake, NY, May 2015
Your concept for feet and health through proper footgear is wonderful! —R.L., Olympia, WA, April 2015
You all are a most awesome family team to have helped our family. You are abundantly kind and gracious. Thank you!! —A.M., Ephrata, PA, April 2015
I've been using your shoes, Injinji socks, metatarsal pads, and Correct Toes to resolve capsulitis on one of my feet for almost two months. Since using these products, my pain is significantly reduced, and I am able to comfortably walk in my Altras or Lems with Correct Toes whereas in January, I was not able to walk at all. —L.R., Somerville, MA, April 2015
You guys are so awesome, I wish I could just come over and see you in person [...] I will review your email again this evening and place my order!! Thanks so much!! —H.B., Elgin, TX, April 2015
I love these boots! [Lems Boulder Boots] And with Correct Toes it is all the more satisfying. They really offer everything I want: healthy feet, very light, wonderful sense of the terrain upon which I am walking while plenty of protection from sharp protuberances, and the height offers protection from abrasions of the ankles. —J.F., Boulder, CO, April 2015
I recently purchased Correct Toes and I just LOVE them! —S.R., Stillwater, OK, April 2015
I cannot recall getting your level of informed reply with any other website inquiry. Very excellent. —B.B., Knoxville, TN, April 2015
My Lems arrived today, and they are the most comfortable shoe I have worn since an old pair of worn out sneakers when I was 12. I am so glad I met you and learned about your products. —K.F., Boone, NC, April 2015
Thank you so much [...] I am really benefitting already from the use of Correct toes. —L.F., London, ON, Canada, March 2015
I recently purchased a pair of Lems Nine2Five Mochas. I love them more than words can say. Now I know beyond doubt that shoes don't have to hurt my feet until they are "broken in." —W.B., March 2015
Just ordered the Lems Primal 2 from your website, and I'm looking forward to receiving them! I wear my Altra's ALL THE TIME, and my feet feel the best they've ever felt! —L.R., Somerville, MA, March 2015
NF customer service: summa cum laude […] The response was the quickest I have ever experienced, for acknowledging receipt of package, sending out exchanges, and again, most importantly, crediting refunds! Sometimes all this was done within three days! Astounding! Incomparable! —M.N., Sunderland, MA, March 2015
Thank you [...] I have found your website very helpful in dealing with my foot problems. —P.B., McLean, VA, March 2015
The toe correctors are really correcting my feet [...] and I just wore them a few months! It’s unbelievable. I also do a lot of exercises [...] and I thank you so much for this useful help to avoid surgery. —I.U-W., Brussels, Belgium, March 2015
Many, many, many thanks for shipping your products to our men and women who proudly serve in the United States Navy! —CDR H.V., SC, USN, March 2015
Great products, guys! I’m enjoying my 2 pairs of Injinji No-Show Whites and just ordered 2 more. Thanks! —D.K., Brooklyn, NY, March 2015
Just a short note to say thank you for the speed at which you have fulfilled my orders. This is my third purchase with Natural Footgear and all three orders have been quickly and accurately completed and my items are at my mailbox literally within a couple days. This is most appreciated, and I will certainly continue to use Natural Footgear for all my footwear needs as well as recommend your company to others. I think it’s rare to find such an outstanding company as yours, plus your website is easy to use and order from and contains much useful information on foot care. —J.K., Eugene, OR, March 2015
I received my order from you this afternoon, and as I am a repeat customer, I'm very pleased with the products I purchased [...] I'm a satisfied customer that is helped and happy with your products, and will continue to purchase from you in the future. —D.G., Sherman Oaks, CA, March 2015
First of all, I want to thank you for making these amazing shoes available. I have had problems with my feet for some time [...] these shoes made a real difference. My feet feel better and are not squeezed into the “normal” shoes. My balance just walking is better, so [...] again, thank you soooo much for these shoes! —R.M., Titusville, FL, March 2015
My feet feel amazing [...] So nice! Wouldn't go back to regular shoes ever! —P.M., Monroe, ME, March 2015
My husband ordered Correct Toes from you recently and that's how I found your excellent site. It's a pleasure to support a business like yours, that really has a philosophy behind the products it sells. I will be ordering today. —L.H., Bloomington, MN, March 2015
Thank you for this help, it is such a key component for healing my feet and bunions. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will continue to spread the word of your products to my baby boomer friends! —S.A., Greer, SC, March 2015
Based on your customer service, I'll definitely use your site in the future. Thank you. —F.S., New York, NY, February 2015
You have no idea how you changed my life with Correct Toes and minimalist shoes. I love my Altras and my Primal 2 shoes. I would never have believed I would get to this point, especially with my RA. I feel like my body knows no limits now, and I just wanted to thank you again. Every day is amazing to me! —B.G., Prineville, OR, February 2015
I have been using Correct Toes for about six months because I had toe pain in both of my big toes and restricted movement when pulling toes back toward my body. My right foot is now completely pain-free with my big toe more flexible in all directions [...] Thank you. —D.G., Philadelphia, PA, February 2015
I had a bunion and hammertoe (same foot) 3 months ago and WISH I saw these [Correct Toes] FIRST! I ordered the Correct Toes and the toe socks and wear them both with comfort. When I went for my follow up visit with my foot surgeon, he loved the fact that the gel separates the toes comfortably and asked me where I got them. He was impressed and never saw them before. Looks like more business is coming your way Natural Footgear! I recommend the Correct Toes to everyone, and I love to wear them with my toe socks too! —D.G., Merrimac, MA, February 2015
I’m wearing them [Lems Boulder Boots] now and I LOVE THEM! They are so fly AND so fantastically comfortable. I have the foot pads on too […] Anyhow, thank you for the quick reply and for the work you all do there at Natural Footgear. Awesome experience and couldn’t be more pleased with everything [...] Absolutely well deserved and more. I can see me getting more things from your shop! Warm regards. —M.A., Edison, NJ, February 2015
I've done the outrageously expensive orthotics, and no, insurance didn't pay for them. I've done the cheap-o's, I've done the ones the doctor made FOR ME. They all helped only temporarily and only helped so long as I wore them religiously, and often with athletic shoes which I cannot wear to work. They all have the arch supports in them. I now have the Correct Toes and wear them pretty much every day, and wear my Lems every day so my toes have room to breathe. I am never going back [...] $65 is a small price to pay for these [Correct Toes]. —D.K., Arvada, CO, February 2015
I received my correct toes a few days ago and am very pleased with them! —C.C., Canal Fulton, OH, February 2015
I feel a glimmer of hope now that I may be able to heal my feet. Thanks! —K.B., Georgetown, TN, February 2015
I love your site, deeply appreciate the video help, and intend to visit you for other shoes, etc. in the future as I believe what you offer and propose will save my feet, working to restore them (and the rest of me) to better health and mobility. Thanks! —E.Z., Canal Fulton, OH, February 2015
Love your approach to healthy natural feet! Cheers! —K.Y., Port Orchard, WA, February 2015
I am so excited about this [...] I watched all the YouTube videos after going to a foot specialist trying to find alternatives for surgery. Thank you again for caring. I know you have helped so many people and I am excited to be one!!! Obviously I will spread the word!! —G.R., Duvall, WA, February 2015
I am a physical therapist who has been working on her feet for about four years now. At 58, I am amazed to see how much they have changed and how much stronger they are. I am delighted to read these classic studies on “unshod feet.” It is fairly shocking to realize how off-base I was as a younger practitioner who knew no better and to know how few people are aware of the potential of strengthening and improving feet. A patient recently introduced me to “Correct Toes” and I have been using them and recommending them to other patients. Great blog, great website, great tools. Thanks! —L.H., Austin, TX, February, 2015
I am very happy with the items I ordered. I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and finding your products and [...] website has been extremely helpful and informative. This approach has been very eye-opening to me, and is helping my feet improve greatly. —B.L., Winston Salem, NC, February 2015
Thank you for the quick turnaround! I can’t wait to receive my new Lems […] Thank you for your tremendous customer service. —M.W., Kansas City, MO, February 2015
Such a HUGE difference after spending a strong four figures on shoes, orthotics, & treatments. Best $65 [spent on Correct Toes] in a long time. —J.J., Facebook Post, February 2015
We both love our shoes, and the combination of Correct Toes, Pedag metatarsal pads, and Primal 2 shoes have been a miracle for my foot problems. You have two new customers for life. Thank you! —B.N., Calhoun, LA, February 2015
Just wanted to say thank you for the article about the foot [...] You are so helpful & I will be ordering again & again. I will also tell everybody so they also get the proper foot care. Thank you so much! —A.P., Tavares, FL, February 2015
I can tell my body is realigning. I believe it was extremely out of alignment [...] I can tell the changes are good. I see it in my posture and adjust naturally a lot now. Thanks so much!! —R.A., Milford, NH, February 2015
Thank you very much, and I will shop with you again. —S.K., New South Wales, Australia, February 2015
I have been ordering from Guam over the internet for years and been routinely overcharged for postage from the U.S. This is the first time I have ever received a refund for the difference between International and Domestic. Believe me, I will take every opportunity to do business with your company again. —T.B., Hagatna, Guam, January 2015
Love the site! Thanks! —J.S., San Rafael, CA, January 2015
I received my first pair of Lems about 10 days ago and they are great! I also did the cycling shoe surgery on my old pair that I use for indoor training. Big difference so far—it provides relief for my left foot tailor's bunion. —D.H., Florissant, MO, January 2015
I will share your Correct Toes and website and gift to the feet and body with everyone I know!! I wear them around the house constantly and to bed! I already feel better. You are both amazing!!!! WHAT A GIFT!!!! —R.A., Milford, NH, January 2015
My boots came this afternoon and they are spectacular!! Thank you so much for your kind response. —Regina, SK, Canada, January 2015
The advice and help I have received from your company have been very helpful! Thank you. —P.A., Lancashire, United Kingdom, January 2015
Thank you so much for your unbelievably prompt and helpful reply! —G.B., Woodvale, Western Australia, Australia, January 2015
Drs. Hughes: My wife and I are enjoying (and benefitting from) the products we purchased. Thank you! —R.H., Mishawaka, IN, January 2015
You have helped me quite a bit in the past and Correct Toes continues to help me. Almost all my toes are nearly back to a correct position. I am doing more running in them [Correct Toes] now [...] Thank you for your help! —P.F., Leith, ND, December 2014
I am so grateful for the reduction in foot pain and improvement in foot health I've experienced since I started using Correct Toes! They have totally changed my future—I'm no longer worried about not being able to walk! —S.P., Mounds, OK, December 2014
I got my size 46 Lems and they are perfect. Thank you for the very quick delivery! —G.R., Huntington Beach, CA, December 2014
I recently purchased Correct Toes in medium and Lems Boulder Boots. They are amazing [...] Thanks for your help. —T.R.H., December 2014
After finally making a successful transition to barefootedness, complicated by the choice to toss out all of my shoes, I am finally foot pain-free. My feet have finally spread all they are going to and I can now begin to use my Correct Toes in the manner they were meant to be used [...] I was able to wear them all day yesterday including a 3.5-mile walk with absolutely no pain afterwards and more importantly no pain upon waking up this morning!!!! Thank you again. —N.D., Mosheim, TN, December 2014
Thanks for [...] the great service! It means a lot to us, your customers. —L.P., Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, December 2014
I absolutely love my Lems Primal 2 shoes in black. Just ordered my second pair in brown. This is the best shoe and website. The delivery is quick. I have also purchased from them Injinji toe socks and Correct Toes. Love all of what I have bought so far. They are very helpful with the questions I had in the past, returned my emails quickly with the answers. This is the only site for me for ordering healthy footwear and products. If you haven't tried them, check them out! —D.C., Hazel, KY, December 2014
I have been using Correct Toes since I received them. I believe they are moving my bones back into alignment! This is a remarkable product. —M.L., Aurora, CO, December 2014
Let me begin by letting you know I really enjoy the Luna sandals and zero drop shoes I already have. Since getting back on my feet from an ankle fracture, I have not found any other shoes, yet, to be as spacious in the toe box that fit. THANK YOU FOR SUCH SHOES! —C.A., McAllen, TX, December 2014
You are so kind and understanding [...] Again, thank you. I can attest to anyone that Natural Footgear is an awesome company. Caring and wonderful [...] You guys are awesome! I’m so glad to have met you!!! —J.A., Coquitlam, BC, Canada, December 2014
Hello! I am a past customer of yours and must start out by saying I love your web site and products as well as your informative videos. Thank you. —J.P., Glen Ellyn, IL, November 2014
I am very impressed with Correct Toes! I've been wearing them for 3 months and I’m amazed at how my ankles feel more stable. I have several of my clients wearing them for various foot & ankle issues along with home care foot maintenance protocols. —S.B., Greenville, SC, November 2014
My feet feel amazing! I tried walking in my conventional shoes on my trip [...] and it was so uncomfortable. Then, when I got to my friend’s place, I put in my toe spacers—phew! Now I'm takin’ on the city streets in my Boulder Boots and [...] I feel awesome :) YAY!!! —E.H.M., Asheville, NC, November 2014
I find Natural Footgear to be a good source of information when it comes to searching for minimal shoe options and covering many questions in the minimal footwear field. —Conscious Movement, Facebook Post, November 2014
Thanks to both of you for all the answers to my emails. Instead of buying Altra shoes I went with the Lems size 44 women’s. Yes, I did order yet again from your site. The first order was for the Correct Toes and Injinji socks. I really love and appreciate all the educational information and videos on your website [...] Thanks so much. You’re the best! —D.C., Hazel, KY, November 2014
Thank you so much for your help and concern! —B.S., Houston, TX, November 2014
Thanks for the speedy delivery!!! Awesome! —C.B., Rochester, NY, November 2014
Everything is great and I appreciate all of your help [...] You guys rock! —A.F., Columbus, OH, November 2014
I've worn [Correct Toes] for 3 consecutive days and noticed improvements in foot strength already. Also, I've had a tibialis strain on my right leg (shin) that also seems to be getting better, coinciding with my use of Correct Toes. Thanks again! I'm a happy customer. —The Cebu Kid, YouTube Comment, October 2014
I have been wearing them [Correct Toes] daily [...] I am having AMAZING results! I never knew that I would be able to move my toes apart without the aid of my hands. Not only that, I am also beginning to lift each toe in the upward position together and one at a time. No more aching feet in the morning or after a long day. This is AMAZING! —L.M., Madison, WI, October 2014
Thank you for fulfilling my order for the toe separators and toe socks with amazing speed. My left foot looks so cool with the toes spread out! [...] After only about half an hour [of wearing the new footgear], I already love the feeling of the stretching apart of my toes. With great appreciation. —K.C., Boston, MA, October 2014
Thank you so much for offering healthy shoes. It has made such a difference in my life—less pain, more comfort!!! —S.P., Mounds, OK, October 2014

I really appreciate your prompt and courteous customer service! —G.P., Southfield, MI, October 2014
There are days when I wear the CTs + Lems almost throughout. This combo is often really good when I’m working around in the kitchen – on my feet. I do notice quite a difference in my toes now – more strength, I could almost say independence. So I am very happy about that. My yoga balance poses continue to improve. I like that. —J.H., Nutley, NJ, October, 2014
Thanks again for the invaluable service that you […] provide. It is refreshing that I have found Doctors who are giving true solutions to problems that "conventional" practitioners have been unable to provide. After a very short time (approx. 3 weeks) of using the Correct Toes, that you highly recommend, I have been free of heel and neuroma pain. These are ailments that I have suffered with for years. I am amazed at the relief provided by a simple (elegant) solution that does not include surgery, shots, or even a doctor visit. For once in over ten years I can actually stand and walk barefoot without pain. —R.H., Sumter, SC, September 2014
Thank you for your excellent customer service! —D.A., San Diego, CA, September 2014
WOW! What impeccable customer service ... IMPRESSIVE!!! THANK YOU for your dedication & commitment to excellency. —Y.K., Kelowna, BC, Canada, September 2014
Got the new shoes today; I absolutely love them, so comfortable!!!!! —M.M., Marquette, MI, September 2014
My feet feel great! I didn't expect to feel this good so soon. I also noticed that my knees don't bother me, like they did last week. I'm excited for the results that I have. —C.L., Santa Ana, CA, September 2014
Thanks so much! You all are very attentive and it’s a pleasure doing business with you. —L.D., Toronto, ON, Canada, September 2014
Thanks so much! It's a pleasure to deal with people who are so timely and caring! —R.M., Horsham, PA, September 2014
I have just now placed an order for the sandals [...] You know that I am very grateful for your guidance and advice. This very satisfied customer will definitely be back! Warmest regards. —C.E., Redcliffe North, Queensland, Australia, August 2014
Thank you again for your considerate reply. I love your products, service, and philosophy! —W.W., Northglenn, CO, August 2014
Thank you so much for the quick, accommodating and friendly service! I received the shoes today and they are great. —G.S., Waterbury, CT, August 2014
I just wanted to say thanks for being so helpful while I tried to find the appropriate size and style of shoe for me. Lems Nine2Five are the first pair of shoes I've owned in years that don't cause me pain while walking, standing, or even just while sitting. —C.H., Saint Clair Shores, MI, August 2014
I have been wearing my Correct Toes in house, walking barefoot while wearing them ... I am happy to report that I am experiencing incredible reduction in pain in my left foot that has a neuroma ... I am free of swelling and can bend my foot without pain ... very encouraging. —K.R.S., Winston Salem, NC, August 2014
Thanks for the immediate responses; I read on your website about your great customer support, and now I have experienced it in action. I look forward to receiving my order and making many future purchases to regain my foot health. —S.B., Enfield, CT, August 2014
I just received my order and am more than happy with my Primal 2s [...] Thank you so much and I can assure you I will be a long time customer :-) —J.A.C., Nutley, NJ, August 2014
There is absolutely no way you could pry my new shoes off of my feet!!! [...] Thank you for developing a program to help people with these types of problems (terrible bunions in my case) and helping us get back to a more natural way of walking again [...] Thank you again! —N.D., Mosheim, TN, August 2014
My order successfully arrived as anticipated and I am very satisfied. Thank you!! Keep up the great work!! —H.B., Elgin, TX, August 2014
After a series of shots, very stiff orthotics, and unsuccessful traditional care for my foot problems the only and right solution for me are the natural approaches to foot health that you provide through NaturalFootgear.com. I really appreciate the education you provide. —R.H., Sumter, SC, August 2014
They [Correct Toes] have really helped my feet. Especially when I'm standing all day in my salon and walking at night. They just splay my toes nicely. I wish this product [Correct Toes] was around years ago [...] Thanks again for your help. —C.N., Canberra, Australia, August 2014
It makes so much sense to yield to the expertise of nature and evolution when considering things to wrap your body in and I applaud your ability to communicate that in a way that inspires a "Duh! Why didn't I think of that?" response. Thanks for the enlightenment! —J.B., Raleigh, NC, August 2014
I stumbled upon your site yesterday and am already a fan! Thank you so much for the great information, it's so clear and wonderful [...] thank you again for your excellent site. —B.S., London, England, August 2014
I wore the Be Reals all day yesterday with my Correct Toes. I also did my kettlebell training in them this morning, and I must say they are awesome. My favorite shoes the last few years have been the Lems, and also the Altras, for different activities, but these Be Reals have the largest toe box and are the best for wearing Correct Toes. My bunion has plenty of room, too. The shoes fit perfectly and are true to size. There will also be plenty of room for socks when the weather gets cooler. The sole is difficult to explain, but it is superior to others. It feels the most like being barefoot, but the little bit of traction does make a difference. I sure did feel more stable in them with my kettlebells. I love them so much I just ordered another pair. Thanks so much for the great products and service! —S.F., Rising Sun, MD, August 2014
The neuroma pain that has bothered me off and on for more than FIVE years has abated A GREAT DEAL. This is BIG for me! —J.H., Nutley, NJ, August 2014
I LOVE these products. I've had back problems my whole life [...] Since I've been wearing the Correct Toes, [...] metatarsal pads, and wide toe box shoes my back pain has significantly subsided, and I have so much more balance when doing one legged balance poses. Anyhow, this stuff works. I'm totally convinced and sold. Thanks again, and I'll continue ordering from you in the future! —E.D., Queens, NY, August 2014
Thanks for being so great! —L.A., Cairo, Egypt, August 2014
You people are amazing! Thank you for being so personable and keeping me informed. —P.W., Payson, AZ, July 2014
I just have to say a huge thank you for helping me get on the path of minimalist shoes and Correct Toes. My feet get better each day. It is hard for me to think about one year ago when I could barely walk without pain [...] It’s really difficult to find the right words to say thank you to someone who helped me get my feet back!! Life changing. —B.G., Prineville, OR, July 2014
I am really impressed by your excellent customer service!! I look forward to placing my next order with you soon. —H.B., Elgin, TX, July 2014
I have flat feet and bunions and over the years have spent thousands of dollars on custom orthotics, over the counter orthotics, bunion surgery, and more podiatrists than I can count [...] I recently came across Correct Toes. The first thing that blew me away was that I could run on a treadmill for extended periods without the tremendous ache and fatigue that I would normally get within minutes. It's like some sort of magic occurred [...] After seventeen years [of foot pain] this gives me some hope that I may find comfort again. —S.N., Cave Creek, AZ, July 2014
Thank you for working with me. First class site. —G.G., Park City, UT, July 2014
Thanks for all your help. Because of your awesome responses I purchased from you without looking elsewhere. So you've won me as a customer. —M.S., Lakeville, MN, July 2014
About a week ago I began wearing the Correct Toes spacers and they are a big relief for my foot pain. I also bought some Lems shoes and can wear the spacers inside of the shoes, with comfort. This has been a big relief!! —S.A., West Olive, MI, July 2014
My order arrived quicker than I expected. The toe socks are so comfortable, I will be ordering more since I can't survive on only two pair. The Correct Toes seem to fit well [...] I have a feeling that the seven corrective operations I’ve undergone will be corrected with the use of the Correct Toes. Thank you, and you will be getting more orders from me. Your concern is duly noted and I will be referring you to my friends with foot problems. —B.J.K., Allentown, PA, July 2014
What a wonderful company you have! So refreshing to find experts who willingly offer all the advice we need without charge and who care deeply about their subject. Having run extreme distances since 2009, I have met a fair few experts and have fished out the sharks from the genuine fish [...] thanks again for all your time. —J.A., United Kingdom, July 2014
Just a note to let you know I am very pleased with my sandals [...] I have worn them everyday since I last wrote and they've become my go-to summer shoe. Thanks for offering great products. —J.W., New York, NY, June 2014
Even with multiple toe issues, the Correct Toes do work well for me and are comfortable […] Amazing how it changes the whole body! [...] Thanks for your help! —J.S., Carlsbad, CA, June 2014
I received my order for the Altra Superior 1.5 Black/Capri. I can’t tell you have excited I am! I immediately tried them on with the Correct Toes and knew instantly this was going to be the answer to my prayers [...] You can count me in as a regular customer, and my next purchase will be for the hiking boots. I have a history of bunions, plantar fasciitis, and plantar fibrosis, and I have had surgery for neuromas & a bunion; I now feel that I have found the answer to my foot pains. Thank you so much! —D.M., Stockton, CA, June 2014
Thank you very much for your amazing customer service and timely responses to my emails and requests! —O.S., McMinnville, OR, June 2014
I have to say, it [Correct Toes] is even more fabulous than I thought it would be. Simply brilliant! I am excited about what is possible! [...] I only developed my hammertoe about three years ago after using my very expensive $500 orthotics in a snow boot […] I wouldn't hear of surgery and kept searching until I found you. Thank goodness! Thank you! —A.M.M., Astoria, NY, June 2014
I LOVE ALL YOUR SHOES! Thank you! —S.D., Newport News, VA, June 2014
I want to thank you for all of your efforts [...] I wore orthotics for about 20 years and my feet hurt all the time. Since my first order, I haven’t worn the orthotics; it is truly amazing. Thanks again. I will be a repeat customer! —S.E., Greenbrier, TN, June 2014
I got my package a couple of days ago, but tonight was the first time I had a chance to try out the Dr. Swaim’s product. I have to tell you how much I like it already—it smells great and soaks right in. [...] The Dr. Swaim’s cream is easy to use because it's so pleasant [...] I'm going to be using it for my foot massage stretches so I can get into my Correct Toes after the hammertoe surgery—double duty. Thanks for your great articles and products. The Strutz Pro pads work great [...] they made it possible for me to survive standing to teach a 3-hr class. Just thought I'd let you know! —C.J., The Dalles, OR, June 2014
I love my Boulder Boots! —G.C-W., Newbury Park, CA, June 2014
I'm amazed! I'm amazed! I'm amazed! I'm turning 66 next week and I can walk for miles and my feet don't hurt. I used to wear so much cushioning in my shoes that I had to buy a half size larger to accommodate the padding. Even then, I hurt. I even had specially-made orthotics, which relieved pain in some areas and caused pain in others. I've been using the Correct Toes and Lems shoes for maybe a couple of months and I am pretty much pain free. And there's no padding! [...] Even the issue of discomfort in my knees and hips is correcting itself as my body is realigning itself. [...] Most amazing is that my Morton's Neuroma is nonexistent. And I thought surgery would be the only option. What is magical for me is that my aging body still has the ability to repair and correct itself. I walk 25 to 30 miles a week and I was getting scared I would have to pare back. Finding you folks has been a blessing. Thank you! […] I'm thrilled that you are such great folks to do business with and to have found an approach that is actually helpful. At my age there are lots of fits and starts and many dead end paths ending in disappointment. Your information and product line literally and figuratively have put me on the path of hope. Again, I can't thank you enough. With much appreciation. —D.Z., Seattle, WA, May 2014
Hello again, Dr. Hughes! I thought I’d get back to you with an update. I’ve been using Correct Toes for 3 solid months with both Lems and Altra shoes. I’m just so pleased with the results! My toes are beginning to straighten out and the angulation of the bunion has actually decreased! No more pain!!!! The improvement is remarkable! I tell everyone who will listen about my newfound miracle. I just can’t stop talking about my Correct Toes! Thank you. —R.T., Lakeville, MA, May 2014
Once again, thank you! It is refreshing to receive such excellence in customer service. —C.E., Redcliffe North, Queensland, Australia, May 2014
Just to let you know my son’s shoes have arrived safely and they fit wonderfully. Hurray! Thank you for your great support throughout the purchasing process. Take care, and all the success and happiness to you [...] You have an ally Down Under! —M.T., Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia, May 2014
Wow … thanks for the speedy and friendly response! Ordering now. —C.S., New York, NY, May 2014
Thanks for your comments!! I sincerely appreciate all the information you have sent to me over these past few months!!! —S.W., Purcellville, VA, May 2014
I really appreciate everything you've done. I will absolutely shop with you again. Thank you so much. —S.G., Wellesley, MA, May 2014
Thanks so much. Your customer service is awesome [...] love the Correct Toes so far! —P.S., Seattle, WA, May 2014
The two of you [Drs. Marty and Robyn Hughes] are responsible for so much good and are positively immeasurable in your help to the cause of natural foot health. Best to the both of you healers! —R.M., Portland, OR, May 2014
I'm running around with last minute prep, but wanted to take a moment to thank you. The shoes arrived yesterday afternoon and I was able to pick them up this morning. Thank you for your continual communication and assistance in getting these to us in time for our trip! [...] As for the shoes themselves, I've only had on my black pair but they look and fit perfectly. Thank you again for your assistance. Rest assured we will be back to you for more footwear! —D.E., Ottawa, ON, Canada, May 2014
A few days ago I purchased toe correctors from you and was pleased with the good service. I will purchase from you in the future and recommend you to others! —K.K., Eckert, CO, May 2014
As a customer, I am very appreciative of your timely responding and for putting your customers first. —L.F., Port Matilda, PA, May 2014
For years my feet were just getting worse. My toes were kind of contracted, dorsiflexed. They didn’t really touch the floor. My podiatrist told me that I should never go without shoes. He said, “Never let your bare soles touch the floor.” I walked on the lateral borders of my feet in the morning because of the pain—how do we get talked into believing such unnatural ideas? Now [after using Correct Toes and foot-healthy footwear] I’m actually able to feel the floor with all 10 toes! My feet are finally relaxed! —R.T., Lakeville, MA, May 2014
I’m very glad I found all of this info about natural foot position and care. Not only for me, but for my family. Thanks! —S.L., Overland Park, KS, May 2014
I must say, of all the business I’ve done through catalogs, your quick service in sending replies to questions, mailing merchandise, and notifying customers about their orders gives me a good feeling you are going to do very well in your business. I will be rooting for you in all you do! Thanks again! —M.A., Stroudsburg, PA, April 2014
I have to say the Lone Peaks are amazing!! Very stylish, and the size is perfect. I can't wait to take them for a run. Since I have discovered Correct Toes and common foot and shoe problems I've become increasingly aware of how much my other shoes are pinching and squeezing. It feels so good to put these new shoes on!! I will definitely be restocking my closet soon. —B.P., Asheville, NC, April 2014
Thanks for the super quick response. I love your website! I love you guys! —C.A., Edmond, OK, April 2014
The “test drive” [of my Lems Primal 2 shoes] went exceptionally well. I love, love, love the feel and comfort. I’m hooked! [...] Thanks for being there, and thanks for your support. You folks are great to do business with. I’m very grateful I found you! —D.Z., Seattle, WA, April 2014
I would like to express gratitude to you! I am a long time user of the product, and I love, love, love Correct Toes. Thank you for selling the product as well as other products that make my feet very happy! —D.H., Amherst, MA, April 2014
I wanted to say thanks for the quick service on my recent order and provide you with a little feedback now that I have had the chance to use my “Correct Toes” for a couple of weeks. In 2009, I had a cheilectomy and Moberg osteotomy on both feet after suffering from hallux rigidus for years. The surgery was very successful and after healing, I was able to begin playing tennis again, although still with some discomfort. I’ve been wearing the Correct Toes device for two weeks at all times that I don’t have on shoes (including sleeping in them), and the difference has been profound. My feet no longer ache while I play, and there is little to no discomfort at all after I’m done. Due to the change in the geometry of my feet after the surgery, I had begun to develop a mallet toe on my right foot, and thanks to Correct Toes, the issue is no longer getting worse, and the pain in that toe has almost completely diminished. I wholeheartedly recommend [Correct Toes]; it’s a small price to pay to eliminate or reduce foot pain. Thanks again! —G.M., Simpsonville, KY, April 2014
I have a job that requires standing/moving around a store for 10 hours a couple of days a week. If it were not for the Lems Primal 2 shoes, I would not be able to stand the job; they are completely comfortable all day. I am glad I found them! —E.H., Vail, CO, March 2014
I love the Strutz Pro! And the socks feel wonderful! A pedorthist who has made orthotics for me for the past 20 years or so had told me a few years ago that I should not run and that I should wear very stiff-soled shoes. Now I’m putting on the Correct Toes with the Strutz Pro and socks over my feet and I’m running, jumping, and dancing in my living room to CDs. I feel like I’m free to be myself again! I am in my 60‘s now, and I’ve come to believe that many older folks have declining health that can be mostly attributed to feet that have been mangled from conventional footwear. I hope more and more people learn about your products; I’m certainly not keeping quiet! —D.S., Indianapolis, IN, March 2014
Thanks, my Correct Toes arrived tonight. Love them! —J.S., Oakland, CA, March 2014
I received the product! [Correct Toes] Works out perfectly. You guys are great! Thank you. —J.A., Laurel, MD, March 2014
I just received my order from you yesterday and was very pleased to receive it only 2 days after placing my order! SUPER FAST!! Anyway, some feedback on the Lems Boulder Boots: I’ve never owned a more comfortable, well fitting, "foot healthy" boot or shoe in my life!! And they look great too. I hope you continue carrying them. Thank you! —R.W., Clinton, OK, February 2014
I bought a pair of Lems shoes and Boulder Boots! I LOVE them! My whole life I have wanted shoes with TOE ROOM and have finally found them. I also love that they are “flat” and have no heel rise. I was about to make my own shoes! —J.K., Pueblo, CO, February 2014
Thank you for your advice! I just ordered the Strutz Pro, a pair of Altra shoes, and the socks. The Correct Toes fit perfectly and my feet love them! Your products and services translate not only into healthier feet, but also healthier people! —D.S., Indianapolis, IN, February 2014
I have suffered from plantar fasciosis for about 25 years. I have quit running and periodically have relief. However, in September my heel started hurting again, and I couldn’t seem to find the right fix. I stumbled onto your website and read about the toe spacers [Correct Toes]. Since I’d had a Morton’s neuroma removed from my foot, as well as the fasciosis, I thought I’d give the toe spacers a try. I just received my Correct Toes yesterday. This morning, I wore them barefoot (with socks) and realized the relief that the toe spread offers! It was amazing relief to my heel! —JA.J., State College, PA, February 2014
I received my Lems Primal 2 shoes and I LOVE them! I’m so excited to wear the Primal 2s to work; they are just dressy enough versus a running shoe. Thanks again for the great service and for offering this product! —B.G., Prineville, OR, February 2014
I’m happy to report that my Correct Toes are nothing short of miraculous! My bunion pain is completely gone! —R.T., Lakeville, MA, February 2014
I think I have to order from you again! Your shoes, pads, toe spacers, and socks are simply beyond comparison when it comes to restoring my foot health and being able to run. —S.L., Stockholm, Sweden, January 2014
I have been living with foot pain for over ten years caused by wearing steel toe boots. I was a week away from foot surgery when a coworker asked my if I had tried Correct Toes. I said, “No, I’ve never heard of them.” She gave me your website and I did my research. I canceled my surgery and ordered some Correct Toes, toe socks, and Altra shoes. I have been using them for about four months now and I have no more foot pain. I still have to wear my steel-toe boots to work, but the toe socks allow my feet to breathe better. —R.W., Federal Way, WA, January 2014
I definitely was plugging your products on the plane again yesterday. Straight up took my shoe off and curled it up and described zero heel, wide toe box, and soft bottom to the girl next to me. Also, this was the first time ever that I left my shoes on for an entire day of travel and didn’t even consider taking them off! —J.T., Asheville, NC, January 2014
I have been looking for a long time for shoes that wouldn’t aggravate the wide toe splay on my right foot. I always thought my foot was the problem, and I am so glad I found your site; it is just what I was looking for! The Lems boots are holding up well so far. I have been wearing them everywhere, and they feel great. I have been telling my friends and family to look into zero drop shoes, and directing them to your site. Thank you for helping me save my feet from extreme discomfort! —J.P., Baltimore, MD, January 2014
I just received my Injinji socks and Correct Toes and happily have them on my feet! I know there are many others out there who don’t want surgery and are looking for other options. Thanks! —A.B., University Place, WA, January 2014
I love the Correct Toes! I look forward to ordering from you again in the future. —L.L., Somerset, NJ, January 2014
Thanks for the great service! —C.T., Daly City, CA, January 2014
Thank you for your prompt reply! You are not the only one excited by the progress thus far. After two years of trying everything to help my poor feet, this is the system that is making the best change. I’ve been talking about it with my patients. Like everyone, I see lots of people with foot pathologies. Fingers crossed for continued improvements because I want my life back! —R.S., Jamaica Plain, MA, January 2014
I’ve been using the Correct Toes in Altra shoes since I got them at the beginning of October and my feet have been changing for the better. Many thanks! I wear them day and night and have been doing lots of other things too, like strengthening and stretching exercises, acupuncture, massage, foot soaks, etc. —R.S., Jamaica Plain, MA, January 2014
Thank you for the quick responses and the excellent service! I will continue to use your site for future purchases and highly recommend you to all my patients and to my corporate clients, especially those based in the USA. —A.H., Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, UK, January 2014
Thanks so much! What wonderful customer service! I will definitely be sending people your way! —M.L., Elko, NV, January 2014
Thank you for gathering such a collection of footwear. I have been struggling for years with conventional shoes and have just recently found your company. I got a pair of Altras a couple weeks ago and what a difference they have made not having my foot squished inside the toe box. I finally feel that not all is lost in the shoe world now. —N.R., Fredericksburg, TX, January 2014
Best wishes for the coming year! And thanks once again for all your help with ordering and sizing. So far, I am really happy with both the Correct Toes and the Lems; they are really excellent products that are doing a great job keeping me injury-free. For sure, I will be putting in another order for more sometime soon. —A.T., Singapore, Singapore, January 2014
I’ve been wearing my Lems Primal 2s, Injinji socks, and Correct Toes now for about 6 to 7 weeks, and everything seems to be okay. I’m not having any [foot] problems, and I love the toe room! —V.O., Belfast, Northern Ireland, December 2013
I love the minimalist shoes! I’ve always loved going barefoot when I could and this lets me do it all the time. And the suggestions on your website as well as your notes have been very helpful. —M.B.J-R., Port Ewen, NY, December 2013
I want you to know how much I am loving my Lems, and I am excited to get my spring shoes soon, too! [...] I have seen my feet improve [with Correct Toes use] — I was doomed for another medical procedure, but I truly think I may be able to get away without it. [...] thanks for offering a great product! —R.G.M., Asheville, NC, December 2013
Dr. Marty! It is just great to get a note from someone who really understands what I am talking about [...] clearly, you get it! —J.P., Plymouth, MN, December 2013
I have recently had three procedures on my right foot. Though I can't tell you the names of each procedure, I can tell you I had my bunion removed, bone removed from my three middle toes to straighten them, and some metatarsal bones cut and pinned and stapled in place. I bought a pair of the Lems Primal 2 (Thanks for helping get the right size the first time by the way). I went to work last night for the first time in 2 months wearing my new Primal 2 shoes with only a toe spacer on the right foot. But, on the left foot, I wore the "Correct Toes" all night. It was very comfortable. My doctors tell me there is nothing that can be done to correct the bunion on my left foot other than surgery. I am convinced that "Correct Toes" will keep my bunion from getting worse. As soon as my right foot heals some more I'll be wearing "Correct Toes" on that foot too because I need those toes to spread. My goal is to keep my bunion from getting worse, stand on my tippy toes, and run in my Primal 2 shoes. I believe I will do that with your help. Thank you! —P.J., Starks, LA, December 2013
Hi! My wife purchased Correct Toes for her and me from your website. I LOVE them! I wear them every day. I stand for 12+ hours a day on concrete and my feet have never felt better! —S.R., Decatur, GA, December 2013
Today has been just awesome ... I got my Lems “live easy and minimal” boots! Thank you NaturalFootgear.com! —R.G.M., Asheville, NC, December 2013
I’m happy to find you!!! I’ve been an ultra runner for a lot of years ... it’s hard to find running shoes that are wide enough for normal toe spread. The Altra shoes are working great for me now! —J.B., Burlington, VT, December 2013
Got the sandals yesterday! Very comfortable. I’m wearing my Correct Toes as I type this. Thank you! —B.U., Charlotte, NC, December 2013
I am so grateful for your help. I also appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to write to me. You have no idea what this means to me! I want you to know that you have made a difference in my life. You give me hope! I thank you from the bottom of my heart. —S.W., Daly City, CA, November 2013
Thanks for all the information about transitioning to the best way of using our feet and toes. Since December of last year, I started to forefoot strike, and it’s going better and better [...] Excellent website!!!!! —A.P., Luttelgeest, Netherlands, November 2013
I applaud you for having a website devoted to good footwear!! —J.B., Pound Ridge, NY, November 2013
I have received my Correct Toes orthotic and I am very pleased with my purchase. They fit nicely and I’m anxious to use them in conjunction with my Luna sandals. I am glad I found your website! —S.B., Fort Leonard Wood, MO, October 2013
I recently purchased Correct Toes and shoes from your website. Since wearing my Correct Toes I can see a big difference in my toes and spaces. My big toe used to bend, and all my other toes were bending the same way. Now I’ve noticed all my toes [...] are in correct alignment with a slight gap between each toe [...] And the Altra shoes are really comfortable with the Correct Toes. —A.H., Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, UK, October 2013
I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to help me get a good fit with my Correct Toes. I am so happy, so blessed, and so grateful! —B.G., Prineville, OR, September 2013
The Lems Boulder Boots just arrived and they are wonderful. They feel so good, I don't want to take them off! Tried them out on the gravel driveway, which I go up and down on foot many times each day. Perfect! I love them! Thanks for the info and helpful products for making my feet with bunions feel great. And my knees, too! In gratitude and appreciation. —J.L., Leicester, NC, July 2013
My Correct Toes have just arrived. I put them on instantly and have already noticed the pain from my neuroma is significantly less than normal. I was waiting for surgery, but if it improves, I will not need it, so thank you! — A.H., Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, UK, July 2013
Having worn UK Army heavy boots for years yomping mountains, eventually my toes required surgery and it went well, and after leaving them 12 weeks for the scarring to heal I have started regular toe spacer wear with a pair of Lems casual shoes, and I cannot recommend these products enough, as they work! —C.D., Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, UK, July 2013
The Lone Peak shoes have arrived and have been tested up, down, and around the rocky shores of the Baltic and the North Sea. I am so pleased. They fit well and function beautifully. I am traversing rough terrain with a confidence and comfort I haven’t had for years. And it was a pleasure for me not to have to force my feet back into traditional narrow toe box shoes after a summer barefoot and in sandals. —B.B., Saltsjobaden, Sweden, September 2012
