Avoid Toe Springs!!
Many people think training shoes = good daily shoes. But have you ever looked at what your foot is actually doing inside them?
That upward curve at the front (aka the toe spring) forces your big toe into constant dorsiflexion.
⚠️ Over time, this can:
- Limit big toe mobility
- Alter natural gait mechanics (the way we walk)
- Shift pressure away from the toes
- Weaken your foot’s stability and strength
- Lead to imbalances up the chain (think knees, hips, back)
Your toes are meant to press into the ground, not hover above it.
💡 For long-term foot health, opt for shoes with:
✔️ A flat sole
✔️ Roomy toe box
✔️ No forced toe spring
Your feet were designed brilliantly, let’s use them as intended ☺️
