- I Wore Toe Spacers for 30 Days | Can they replace Barefoot Shoes?
I've been wearing barefoot shoes for years but are socks undoing all my hard work? I started wearing toe spacers to see if they would help gain back my foot's natural strength and flexibility.
Let's see if they work?

Drop the video a like for me being brave enough to post my feet on the thumbnail. But seriously if you are looking at transitioning to barefoot shoes I highly suggest getting some toe spacers. 😀🦶
Best example of create a problem, sell the solution.
What are you saying the problem is? Sorry im a little slow 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose create shoes that affect your toes and then sell toe spacers.
@@emmacunningham6333 haha gotcha, yea. Though most people don’t seem to mind having squashed toes?
@emmacunningham6333 the shoes that affect your toes are the mainstream shoes. Barefoot shoes do not.
The spacers were too tight. Have you tried CorrectToes? They can be worn in VivoBarefoot shoes and they do help with toe splaying and full use of toes.
No I haven’t heard of them, I will check them out. Thanks 😊
Mine just came today, kinda uncomfortable but il get used to it
Excellent review as always sir!!
Yeah I think I give them buggers a miss!!!
Yea use the hand method if you want to widen your feet 🦶
@@PeteOnPurpose definitely
Use yellow foam earplugs between the toes, or cut toe holes in a sock.
Låter som en bra idé med gula öronproppar mellan tårna 👍
Yoga asana works as well
Especially on a beach or out in nature
Yes ‘toes of fire’ 🔥
Totally agree. I tried a few brands of toe spacers myself (cheap Yoga Medic ones & more costly Correct Toes). The cheap ones cut off blood supply & did nothing & Correct Toes were too loose because my toes already spread wider from years barefoot/in barefoot shoes. I'd recommend them for correcting bunions & similar but good old human bare feet strength work, enough time & some tennis ball rolling etc. will sort them out without 'special equipment' like spacers I reckon.
My advice, send them back after free trial if not working out.
Ps. Wearing spacers inside my barefoot shoes was impossible & so uncomfortable too. Great for around the home when just completely barefoot though if at all.
Oh & well done for braving feet on camera though you needn't worry. I dunno why society finds feet so offensive. That's what's caused half the problems with modern feet I reckon. Shoes are unnatural. Cultural conditioning hey. Thankfully some of us are reversing that slowly but surely.
Yes, I think they could speed up the transition process for someone looking to switch to barefoot shoes but have been in modern shoes for decades.
I didn’t realize how fat and wide my feet had gotten until I started filming them for this video! 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose yay to wide feet! Squashed toes are so last century 😂
@@kevinjones2874 😅😅😅
What exercises do you recommend for the intrinsic foot muscles? Do you think toe spacers might help stretch and strengthen them?
I think toe spacers are definitely a great tool however I think wearing barefoot shoes or being barefoot the majority of the time is best for building foot strength. (That’s just my opinion I am not a specialist in this area)
I feel like my socks are counterproductive. I wear "barefoot" shoes, but my socks squish my toes together. I go barefoot as much as possible at home.
Yea, I think no socks would be better but then all your shoes end up smelly
Belenka has "barefoot socks" but I have not tried them yet, planning to though.
Also try widening your socks before putting them on, similar to stretching a washed shirt: grab the front/toe part of the sock, give it a couple of good yanks. Does it for me!
Just started the video, I'm assuming it was not comfortable. Maybe some chafing.
Disappointing that there's no link in the description box on where to get them!
sorry mate, just type toe spacers into Amazon and they are one of the cheaper ones
@@PeteOnPurpose mate obviously.
00:58 ouch!!!! That looks to me Pete 😂
Haha I make it look easy don’t I 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose yeah !!!
I think you are supposed to have the round bits toward yourself, you wore them wrong way around.
I have the same model, in my case relief was immediate to my morton's neuroma, I wore them 2-3 hours and then it bacame unbearable, my toes were on fire. Took it off and I could walk without limping for first time in 3 months. I'm able to keep it on 2-3 hours per day, sometimes an hour more at nights, and that was all it took to not notice the neuroma anymore. Immediate pain relief just after first 2-3 hours, but of course every case is different. I also massage the foot with a spiky ball, use resistance bands to strengthten the toes, and my shoues have a large clown toeboxes.
This is the way they are being shown on the box but you're not the first person to suggest wearing them the other way round.
You're actually wearing them in reverse.
Thats how they displayed them on the box?
@@PeteOnPurpose They can be worn both ways! For me wearing them in 'reverse' is way better and my feet are improving a lot.
@@Britt.yeah my pinky is my worst (most cramped) toe, so wearing them in reverse is actually better for me. My big toe is kinda tilted inwards but it’s not too bad because I wear flip flop all through summer
This is like saying, I worked out for 30 days but didn't get totally jacked so working out is a waste of time.
Just because 30 days makes a month doesn't make it a magical number that will either make or brake something.
That music 👌
Bloody hell he’s alive 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose yes I'm 😉 how the hell have I missed all these uploads Pete!!
This is such a short one. 😂
Too short? I feel like I got to the foot of the problem?
3:25 😂

@@PeteOnPurpose always the best 🙃😜
“MAI-RIDE” of problems? Did you mean “myriad”, pronounced mir-eeYAD?
i think u were wearing them backwards
I wore them as pictured on the package but someone else did say this as well
00:20 they look bloody weird 😬
Haha they feel weirder 😅
@@PeteOnPurpose I bet not bloody normal is it!!! Be all right for the winter 🙂
you wore em the wrong way
That’s how’s they display them on the packet? How else can you wear them?
@@PeteOnPurpose you were right, i was wrong. There is another YT vid showing it differently.
Interesting 🧐
Grown and healthy made a video saying we're wearing toe spacers the wrong way. He thinks wearing them upside down is the right way, but doesn't say why
There is another youtuber Grown and Healthy who says you are wearing them Upsidedown. The phlanges go down towards the toe webs
