Most foot problems can be corrected by restoring natural foot function. — Dr. Ray McClanahan
Manual
CorrectToes™ are designed to help gently realign your toes to their natural position, improving foot health, comfort, and balance.
Wearing them correctly and gradually increasing your usage will help your feet adapt and achieve the best results.
You’ll find easy steps, tips, and care instructions to get started safely and comfortably.
Created by a Sports Podiatrist
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. McClanahan understands what your feet need to heal naturally.
Get Results While Being Active
Other spacers can misalign the toes, which may lead to problems you're initially trying to prevent.
Activity helps strengthen and reinforce natural foot position. Unlike other toe spacers, you can combine Correct Toes with foot shaped shoes and keep doing the activities you love!
4 Distinct Sizes
We don't recommend "one size fits all" because not everyone has the same size foot, so why would everyone wear the same size toe spacer?
Modifiable for Your Unique Feet
Correct Toes can be modified a variety of ways to create a custom fit for your feet.
Created by a Sports Podiatrist
Correct Toes were designed by sports podiatrist and elite distance runner, Dr. Ray McClanahan, who was unsatisfied with the inconsistent and temporary results offered through orthotics, medication and/or surgery. He was also frustrated with his own persistent foot pain and recurring running injuries.
Dr. Ray desired to cure the root cause of foot problems rather than settle for symptom management. Through clinical experience, literature review, footwear analysis and observations of unshod elite runners, Dr. Ray realized the powerful healing effect of rehabilitating and strengthening the feet.
He recognized that natural toe splay is an essential component of long-term foot health. Ultimately, Dr. Ray developed Correct Toes, a customizable and comfortable toe spacer that would enable his patients to combat and prevent common foot problems.
Undo the Damage
If you look at a baby's foot, you'll notice his/her toes are splayed, strong and flexible; and that the widest part of their foot is at the ends of the toes. Adult feet are intended to display these same qualities. However, constrictive footwear changes this shape over time, attributing to many common foot problems.
Benefits
Natural Toe Position, Foot Comfort, Balance & StabilityThe only toe spacer designed by a sports podiatrist to be used while being active. Reverse the damaging effects of footwear by using Correct Toes with naturally shaped shoes.
Use & Care
Placement
Correct Toes are reversible (unless modified).
Try them with toe socks which may help with fit, friction and added comfort.
Find a comfortable position. They can sit at the base or higher up on your toes.
Start Slow
Start by wearing Correct Toes for 30 minutes the first day and add an additional 30 minutes each day.
Begin wearing them around your house and eventually in shoes.
Best results are seen when Correct Toes are used during physical activity.
Expect your feet and other parts of your body to feel different, perhaps even sore for a while, as your toes realign to their natural position.
Warning: Those with neuropathy or diminished circulation in feet should not use Correct Toes. If you have any concerns, ask your health care provider if Correct Toes can benefit you.
How to wear and care?
Wear Them in Shoes
Wear Correct Toes only in shoes that are widest at the tips of the toes to prevent irritation.
Use the Shoe Liner Test™: With Correct Toes on, all toes should fit on the shoe liner. Leave at least half a thumb's width of length at the end of your toes.
Shoe Requirements:
Flat
Widest at Tips of Toes
Flexible
Note: In general we DO NOT recommend wearing Correct Toes with arch orthotics.
Take Good Care
Hand wash with a light soap and warm water. Let air dry.
Keep out of reach of small children and pets.
Use two hands to take off Correct Toes and avoid a "ripping" off method.
