Modern Footwear = Foot Problems!
Modern shoes destroy your feet. Whether you wear high heels, running shoes, or even just casual loafers, nearly all modern footwear is designed for style not function. This means that 98% of the shoes on the market squish your feet into unnatural shapes that can lead to foot deformities, bunions, corns, and other complications. And these are not just cosmetic.
Deformed feet don’t just look bad; the real problems can be much more serious. When your toes have poor dexterity, are squished or overlapping, it impacts the way you walk, run, and stand. Deformed feet are a common cause or contributing cause of knee, hip, and back problems as you often develop abnormal movement patterns to compensate for your imbalances.
ILLUSTRATION: The above images show a very common pattern of foot deformation. To see this in real life, simply compare the feet of young children (under 5) with the feet of their parents.
Common Pain Problems From Deformed Feet:
- Blisters
- Corns and bunions
- Plantar fasciitis
- Hammertoe
- Ingrown toenails
- Knee pain and injury
- Back pain and injury
- Painful feet, ankles and toes
- Poor posture
- Decreased athletic ability
- Increased risk of injury
- Hip problems (from affected gait)
Many podiatrists offer surgery, anti-inflammatory drugs, or shoe insoles as treatments, but these measures often fail long-term because if you don’t fix the underlying problem, it’s very likely to return, no matter what treatment option you choose. The harsh reality is that your feet have become deformed, and your footwear and lifestyle are keeping them that way. This needs to change.
The results experienced by our users have been just as impressive. YOGABODY students around the world use Awesome Toes to help with conditions such as bunions, corns, hammertoe, overlapping toes, and plantar fasciitis. Like me, many people use them for balance, yoga postures, and running too. Awesome Toes are a not a magical cure for all foot problems, but the vast majority of our users experience real benefits, usually within days, and some have experience turn-arounds as dramatic as mine.
How to Use Awesome Toes
- Good: while relaxing, while watching TV
- Better: while walking around the house, before/after work, casually
- Best: while practicing yoga, stretching or inside wide-toed athletic shoes
NOTE: When you first start using Awesome Toes, start slowly. We recommend wearing them for no more than 1 hour initially, and slowly you’ll be able to work up to 4+ hours of continuous use. Just as it’s challenging to stretch for long periods of time, wearing Awesome Toes for long periods of time is a big stretch on your feet, and you should give your body time to ease into it.

What Type of Feet Do You Have?
Below are five common foot shapes, and while there are many more, chances are good that your “ideal foot” falls into one of these five categories. Is there anything wrong with having a second toe longer than the rest? No. Is there anything wrong with having the same length toes all the way across? Again, no. Your feet are unique to you and there are many different-looking feet that are healthy and highly functional.
No matter what your foot shape, everyone wants to avoid overlapping toes, bunions, hammertoes, or toes are that unable to articulate properly. Our feet are not as dexterous as our hands, but they should be able to move freely and dynamically. The purpose of Awesome Toes Corrective Spacers is to bring your foot back to its natural shape, with strong, flexible and useful toes that can help you balance, run, jump, lift and balance weight to keep your body moving functionally for many years to come.
NOTE: There are internet memes suggesting that the foot shapes above reveal genetic heritage. There is no real science basis for this, but the more interesting observation is that not all feet are the same shape and that’s ok.
