What, when, and how to use toe spacers

A quick explanation on how to put our toe spacers on and how to long to wear them for and a little bonus exercise to try once you have them on.

While definitely more effective barefoot, they can be worn in shoes with a wide enough toe box.

If you can afford Vivobarefoot, you can afford SoftStar Shoes. The Softstar Rogue or any of their "Primal" sole shaped shoes have a lot more toe width. I have the Softstar Rogue in a wide width and have no problem wearing toe spacers in them while still having plenty of ability to flex and move.

After a month or so, I realized I been wearing them wrong. (Point bits towards toes). I wonder if that’s what led me to stop using them.

Confusing video, the demo item doesnt match the product. Mine has elastic around the baby toe, too. My little toe is too tiny to fit properly. The elastic around it is actually bending the little toe.

I do not agree with the way this video shows to put these on. Here's why: it bends them against the curve of their shape, stretching out that shorter side, and stretching creates tension; you are effectively putting an elastic band around the ends of your toes. Exactly opposite to the purpose of helping them splay.
This type of spacer is so obviously designed with a curved shape that matches the natural 'fan' of the foot & toes. Putting them on in opposition to that stretches out the short side and bunches up the webbed sections between the spacer pads. It simply can't be the way they were designed to be used. All that over-stretching and bunching probably causes them to wear out sooner, too.

5/10 feet ratings but nevertheless, I'd love to be her spacer.
