Toe Box (Wide Is Better)

 

The Natural Toe Box (Garden Space)











By mirroring the foot’s natural shape, the entire body benefits in a multitude of ways, such as:

·         Improved posture

·         Reduced injuries

·         Increased foot strength


·       Quicker recovery times

·         Natural foot strike landing

Traditional shoes on the market feature a tapered toe box and high heel rise. This causes deformities in the feet, like bunions🩰 and hammer toes. It also weakens the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the feet, which affects balance and efficiency, leading to more injuries.

Natural foot-shaped shoes like promote a different foot strike than traditional outdoor shoes. A minimal or zero-drop heel promotes a more natural forefoot strike, that reduces the pressure and force with which the foot lands.


The wide toe boxes in some shoes provide enough room for the toes to relax and splay organically within the shoe. In this position, the big toe can remain straight, which allows for better stability and power. 

More room for the toes can improve balance, promote agility, and alleviate common toe issues like bunions, increase circulation, and lower risk of injury. 

It also just feels a lot better after a long workout.

Ample space in the toe box also allows those with foot deformities to wear Correct Toes while exercising. These simple spacers help guide the shape back to its natural shape over time.
