I can testify that these really do work and are not a gimmick. I'd developed a Tailor's Bunion on the outboard side of my right foot from trail running in tactical boots. It had gotten so bad I could no longer finish the full trail. Before going to the doctor I tried these on recommendation. Wearing them just an hour a day, I noticed far less discomfort in about a week. And within a month I was running the full trail again, completely pain free.
Thank you for sharing! We love to hear of your improvements and will continue to be here for support.
@@correcttoes You bet. Thanks for this video. Big help!
Thank you so much, I can still hardly believe how much immediate relief I felt as soon as I put Correct Toes on my feet for the first time, and every time since. I also really appreciate all of your informative videos on stretches and exercises for foot issues. 🙏🏼🌺
Thanks for your helpful video, and simple useful product.
It's been a day... 27 hours, and I'm already feeling relief.
I've also started running again. (Former marathoner, been off for a long time). Running slow and steadily wearing these and I have yet to feel any arch pain, or tendon issues that I've been having.

@@flat-earther Bro are you seriously troll-baiting on a toe spacer tutorial video? oof
Great video, I can bet you a bundle that majority of people have problem with their feet or toes.
How can we order this ?
Confused about the recommended shoe list. Watched one of Dt McClanahan’s podcasts and he emphasized no toe spring and flat (zero drop) yet many of the shoes pictured show significant toe spring and some even a show a little heel height. . Want to order shoes to help with neuroma as well as large bunions but unsure of which ones to get.
Hi Rita! Sorry for any confusion with the Shoe List. You're correct in describing the characteristics we look for in footwear: flat (zero-drop), wide and flexible. Footwear that is widest at the tips of the toes will prevent squeezing and compression to already irritated nerve (neuroma) and also allows space for the feet to fully splay and not be constricted tightly- which can deform feet over time and lead to bunions.
What kind of footwear are you looking for? There are some great casual options from Softstar and Vivobarefoot, like the Sawyer and the Ababa, respectively. Thanks for reaching out!
what shoes were those in the example? think i recognized the altra logo but not sure on the model?
Those are the Altra One 2.5. They are a great shoe, but are unfortunately are no longer being manufactured. You can very likely still find them on overstock websites however!
how much will these help with crooked toes will they make your toes straight again?
Can you wear correcttoes with orthotics? I am working on strengthening my intrinsic muscles but am afraid I would have serious foot pain without my motion control shoes and orthotics. I have neuromas, plantar fasciitis, minimal fat pads, minimal arches, metatarsalgia, bunions that are not too bad, big toes starting to cross over into 2nd toe, and whatever else is on the icky foot menu! Lol. I was a flight attendant for 40 years and my feet are not happy with all the abuse! I love to walk, hike, and be active in any way possible. I’m intrigued by the idea behind correcttoes and other things one can do to try to heal naturally. The shoes you recommend- on the flimsy side, are the opposite of what I’ve been doing for 30 years wearing orthopedic shoes and orthotics. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
orthotics will weaken muscles
Thank you for this video,; sorry I didn't find it before emailing with a question. But now a new question: what percentage of your patients "outgrow" the need for Correct Toes? Assuming my problem is eventually undone and I stop doing damage with bad shoes, is there ever a time to graduate and if so, what's the average length of time to that point for people with severe bunions?
The answers for these questions are highly individual. I suppose one may "outgrow" the need for Correct Toes when their feet are pain free, mobile, and in an adequate alignment for that person. Correct Toes founder, Dr. Ray McClanahan, has been wearing Correct Toes since he invented them and still wears them daily. The time to stop wearing Correct Toes is the time you're comfortable with the progress your feet have made, but Correct Toes will still be there for you if you should choose to wear some shoes or socks that compress the toes. Some people notice improvements within weeks and for others it can't take over a year. Often people wear narrow shoes for their whole lives (30, 40, 50+ years) and so it can sometimes take a long time to reverse and recondition the feet back into alignment.
@@correcttoes thank you for explaining!
Hi! Thank you for informative video! Why it’s not recommended to wear them while sleeping? I heard many suggestions that wearing toe correctors while sleeping is the best solution for people with bunions, is that true?
Hi Maya! Thanks for the support and for the great question. Here's a bit of a lengthy explanation below! This also applies for people with bunions :)
We find that Correct Toes are most effective when your feet are bearing weight, meaning any time you are standing or active. While there is nothing wrong with using them while sleeping, using Correct Toes while inactive won’t provide the results that Correct Toes are capable of.
Just like with any muscle in the body, strength is formed by working muscle groups. The feet are no different-you must move your feet for your feet to strengthen. The simplest way to strengthen your feet is to allow them to move as they were naturally designed.
Performing weight-bearing activities while wearing Correct Toes ensures that your feet are held in an aligned position, so while you give your feet a workout by walking, running, etc., they are doing so in proper form.
Correct Toes needs a size between medium and large. I wear a Medium. In fact, based on the sizing, I should be the smallest size in that category. However, it hardly begins to straighten the great toe.
When I add soft material to the center of the spacer to straighten my toe (and I've tried many), the silicone ends up feeling hard and painful. And I need to add something now after months of wearing these. Why? Because the bit between the great toe and 2nd toe keeps popping up and out of place, which is inconvenient and uncomfortable when walking. That would be fine, and sure it's an indication that my great toe is moving, but my toe still isn't straight when this is going on and so without something more, I seem to have reached the maximum benefit from the CorrectToes without the right sort of spacer.
The right sort of material for additional spacing ought to be supplied with the product. The spacing is not the issue when it comes to discomfort; the issue is the lack of give - additional rigidity. The large size is huge. There seems to be no way around this issue save to sacrifice my YogaToes (the largest space in those) to provide some comfort. Even then, the toe is not straight. I can straighten my great toes and even move them beyond straight and so the issue is not one of lack of mobility.
Correct Toes needs to sort this - either provide appropriate spacing material or have more sizes. I shouldn't have to order silicone online or sacrifice my YogaToes to make these fit.

I was diagnosed with Morton neuroma which I was told was from 2nd metatarsal bone length. I had a weil ostomy and neuroma removal surgery 6 months ago but STILL have the exact same pain as before surgery. Will these offer me any relief from pain when walking?
Hi Robyn! Thanks for checking out the video. We're so sorry to hear that your pain has persisted even after surgery. It is impossible to say for certain whether Correct Toes would provide you with pain relief--everyone has their own unique feet! However, many of our customers have found significant relief from neuroma pain through use of Correct Toes. Give them a try! Every pair of Correct Toes comes with a 30 day no-risk return policy. If you're not seeing progress within that time, you can absolutely just return them. If you do see progress, you'll already be started on the way towards stronger, healthier feet! Hope this helps!
Hi. I'm writing this in 2021, it has now been three years since you posted this question. I'm also sorry to hear that your proceedure did not aleviate your pain. That's just typical. I also suffer from this same type of foot pain. I have only just this week heard about Correct Toes, Lem's Shoes and Morton's neuropothy. Mine is undiagnosed, but the symtoms are very similar. So I'm researching and came across your story and was hoping that after all this time you have found some relief.
Please let us know if you ever did get the Correct Toes and if/how they worked for you. Thanks!
Thank goodness I have This Recommendation
Okay, I’m interested! Do the correct toes have a detailed guide?
Why shouldn’t you wear them to bed? I have a single toe spacer I wear at night and it’s okay.

Where is this product
How does this work with webbed 2nd and 3rd toes?
Hi Rebecca! Thanks for the question. We have a modification video and accompanying guide that show what to do in the case of webbed toes. In this case, we'd recommend cutting the pylon that fits between your 2nd and 3rd toes. Here is the guide for reference:

I’m not sure what the proper term is but can it help with big toes that stick up and wear holes in shoes?
Rainbow I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
I work in a warehouse walking and standing on concrete for 10 hrs. Hadn’t had any feet problems until working in warehouse. I'd notice my toes were jamming the tips on shoes. At the end of shift I could barely walk.
So I bought larger sneakers, went from 8.5 to 10. They seems too big but my toes are no longer jammed.
Now I’ve noticed pain mostly on the bottom of my right big toe and the joint seems a little larger compared to left big toe. The right big toe, more than the left, is moving closer to the second toe. And now I find it difficult to spread all five toes on both feet.
I can see wearing flat flexible shoes on my off days from work. But what shoes would be best for working in warehouse walking and standing on concrete for 10 hrs?
I think, I would need more support and cushioning.
If you can wear athletic type shoes, check out Altra Running shoes. They have wide toe boxes, zero-drop heels, are flexible and have varying levels of cushion.
Maybe shoes that are made with a wide tow box. Look up wide toe box shoes. Crocks are an inexpensive example. 🙂
@@sidpfleming softstar has some nice wide fitting shoes
Sharon I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
Lems also has boots with a wide toe box to give you more room
To be honest, I've been wearing a pair of these for a few days now, on and off, trying to get used to them. I tried them under my socks, on top of that company's expensive toe socks, and they aren't that comfortable...yet. I hope I'll get used to them soon.
For some people it can takes weeks to get used to them. We do have a 30-day no worries full refund policy if you find Correct Toes just aren't working for you. Additionally consider some modifications for a better fit. We have a video on our page f you search for Correct Toes modificaions.

I've been reading about correcttoes a lot in the past days, after having had surgery in one foot because of bunion plus hammer toe, and now I'm sitting here with a lot of time on my hands ....
First of all, I'd like to say that the product seems to make sense. Especially in combination with (only some) barefoot shoes - before I started wearing those, about 6 months ago, I had heaps of pain.
However, I notice that in all of the advertising videos and pictures, you only ever see perfect feet with perfect toes. Anyway ....
What I am wondering about is this: if correcttoes is supposed to make your foot use and strengthen the right muscles, why do some people say that they can't walk without pain when not wearing correcttoes, even after a long time of using them? Shouldn't those muscles be properly trained after a while? Why does the inventor still use them on a daily basis?
There are very very few people that say that they can't walk without pain when not wearing Correct Toes, especially after a long time of using them, so I'm not sure where you heard that. I suppose a "long time" is relative to each individual, but if you wear narrow shoes for 40 years, you can expect it to take many years to undo that process. Correct Toes helps people to better align their feet and toes so they can become strong and functional again, but in the end it's ultimately up to the individual to strengthen the feet in a new healthy position. Correct Toes recommends you be active in them. The results you get with Correct Toes very much represents the work you put in while wearing them. Dr. Ray could do without Correct Toes now that he has been rehabbing his feet for 2 decades, but he chooses to lead by example and practice what he preaches. Plus Correct Toes become very comfortable over time and make for a great and balanced running experience.
@@correcttoes Thank you for answering. I suppose you are right. I read it I think in an Amazon comment or two. I ordered them regardless, but still was wondering. I'm hoping to do something for my second foot in the meantime until I can walk properly again on the first one I had surgery on. Unfortunately I won't have enough decades left to correct the decades I missed out, to cure my feet with 24 degrees bunion deformity. Healthy shoes were really ugly when I was young, there was no such thing as good looking barefoot shoes. There was also no internet, medical doctors weren't where they are now, and insurance didn't cover "cosmetic problems". But I guess Correct Toes could help for the bunions not to return, and keep my ankles, hips, spine etc in place. I love hiking with my dog, and I want to do that without pain. Makes sense that it all begins with the proper alignment of your feet and gait.
It's like when they use skinny models to advertise Spanx🤣
Untuk I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
How long a day should I wear them and how long in total?
Start at a half hour the first day and wear the Correct Toes for a half hour longer each day as long as your feet feel comfortable until you are wearing them most of the day. Correct Toes yield the strongest and quickest results when worn while weight bearing and while active.
Do these help with capsulitis of the second toe? I believe I may have that.
That's what I think is my problem on my right foot. I bought a pair and am trying them right now. Check out their website videos for toe stretches and exercises. They are helping, too! I also purchased a pair of Oofos Sport Flex Sandal with the arch support that is helping the most.
@@babsphillips8583 Hi, turns out I had a sprained toe, and almost broke my plantar plate. I still don't know how this happened, but luckily I've healed now. I used the shoe inserts which helped me greatly, and I stopped jogging unfortunately but it helped to heal it. Good luck! I hope it heals up quickly!
Mary I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
How long does it take before the Correct Toes are comfortable to wear? I tried some a few years ago and sent them back after a couple of weeks. I found them very uncomfortable, especially under the toe joints. Maybe I just didn't give them a long enough trial?
I can see the logic of them and I do sincerely want to prevent my bunion from getting worse. Also, my daughter who is playing university soccer has inherited the bunion and I'd like to be able to help her take the right steps to minimize and correct the bunion.
We call the time it takes to get used to Correct Toes, the "transition time," it varies for everyone but generally takes between 2weeks-2months or more. Variables to consider are age, shoe wear, health, injury, sizing, and activity level. During this transition time it is recommended to go very slow, 30 minutes or less the first day and so on. This also includes minimal activity(walking around your home) and then increase to short errands, and so on. If they are still uncomfortable please do not hesitate to send us photos and detailed descriptions so we may assist you. Thank you!
How much product
bonjour, où les acheter ? merci
I live in Birkenstocks and I have PF. Can I wear these with my Birks?
We recommend checking any shoe with the shoe liner test, found here- ua-cam.com/video/YQhLn4RCoyo/v-deo.html. This will be your guide to what shoes can accommodate Correct Toes.
How does this help hammer toes ?
In short, the Correct Toes act as a brace to help keep hammer toes flat and straight. To learn more, check out this page: www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/foot-conditions-and-problems/hammertoes/
Hi. Mine keep sliding off as soon as I walk. I can only wear them while sitting. What do you suggest?
We suggest first ensuring the size is correct. If the size is fitted appropriately, it may be that you have petite and narrower toes. This can be solved by wearing toe socks or a sock over the top.
i have 2 hammer toes and i've been living with this for years. Will this correct my toes?
Hi Dimez! I'm sorry to hear that you've been living with hammertoes for such a long time. Fortunately, one of the primary functions of Correct Toes is to straighten out hammertoes. By wearing Correct Toes in conjunction with flat, wide, and flexible footwear a lot of our customers have been able to reverse their hammertoes. For more information you can check out our video on conservative care vs, conventional care for hammertoes: ua-cam.com/video/whOS9-Nrw84/v-deo.html . Hope this helps!
Northwest Foot & Ankle I don’t know what hammer toes is but I got one toe that kinda takes off toward my pinky toe and cause me discomfort in my work boots, currently looking in to a Thorogood emperor toe boot and hoping to pair it with these correct toes , I wonder if you think they can help ?
What is your product differentiation?
Why should I spend $65 on CorrectToes as opposed to $15 on Amazon?
Great question! Were you ever able to get a satisfactory answer?
It costs $65? LOLOLOL
Hello,do you perhaps know if they fit in any men's vivo barefoot shoes? Is any vivo barefoot shoe wide enough?
Hey there, the fit of Correct Toes with mens vivo shoes is dependent upon the foot as we've found those with narrow feet can fit them comfortably but those with wider feet had to make modifications of the Correct Toes. The Primus Lite Knit would be a great option to try out as the material is slightly more flexible around the toe box area.
How much are they?
where I can get them?
how long do I need to wear them?
Hi Tony!
Check out our website at: www.correcttoes.com/. It should have all the details you're looking for!
Can you actually wear these while playing sports like basketball or running?
Running yes. I wouldn't do heavy lateral work with it though like basketball.

What’s the difference between these $65 ones and the ones they sell on Amazon for $20?
These ones last longer, are more for anatomical alignment, don’t restrict blood flow by squeezing, and can be used in shoes with comfort.
Those on Amazon are used🤣

What brand shoe is shown in the video?
It's called Altra: www.amazon.com/Altra-Mens-One-Running-Shoe/dp/B00TXEFAC2
Altra makes excellent running shoes! I'm on my second pair of the One 2.5s. My first pair lasted 700+ miles! They are very comfortable and are known for having the widest toe box in the industry.
Guilherme and rdub have the right idea--the model is the Altra One 2.5 that Guilherme linked. They really do have an excellent toe-box, in addition to being fairly flexible and zero drop! They're a favorite here in the office!
Do these ship to the UK?
Yes, they do. We also have UK resellers that may offer cheaper shipping prices.
They showed how to NOT take it off but failed to show the correct way. 😟
My problem is that my job requires me to wear all leather boots with a safety toe and I can’t find anything that has a wide toe box in order to wear correct toes at work.
We can appreciate the difficulty of finding a natural shoe that meets those specifications. Some of our customers in similar positions have found some success using the Lems Boulder Boot with a steel or composite toe protector insert. Check out the boot itself here: www.correcttoes.com/shop/footwear/lems-boulder-boot-russet.html Hope this helps!

Why is this so overprices? Correct toes are nothing revolutionary but a copy of the previous idea with some small modifications. There plenty of cushions and pads on Amazon that are way cheaper and design come pretty much close to it at a fraction of the cost. "Variety reasons" what nice general statement versus actually indicating a clear concise answer. The bullshit of companies. Silicone is an inexpensive product total production cost for each is way under 4 dollars for a pair. You can even 3D print this and they would cost you still less than 10 dollars. So again how were is you over 600% mark up come into play. Marketing nope not much out there everything is word of mouth, packaging nope its simple nothing fancy, you can actually make the packaging even cheaper if they wanted too. Patents nope none out there just the trademark for the name. A $60 dollar pair of shoes has more components and is more costly to produce than this.
Then why are cookies so expensive at a bakery? I could make one for mere cents in my kitchen. Even a dozen is a a dozen cents. But I wouldn't be able to keep a roof over my head if I just sold 20cent cookies from my kitchen, because, you know, expenses.
Welcome to America my friend. You can even buy them and resell them to another sucker.
So why you should pay 400 $ for a pair of orthotics made of plastic, rubber and foam?
Aren't those materials cheap?
Then why conventional foot doctors sell you those things for such a high price?
Because, my friend, everything in life has a cost.
If you don't want to pay for these objects, why don't you make them by yourself?
What? You are not able?
Does it cost too much?
Then it's easier if you buy it from a specialist.
I tried the cheaper ones and they cut off your circulation to your toes.
Cheaper ones are too big to go in shoes.
