Tired of trying to find perfectly fitted running shoes? So was I until I created Toe Bumpers® socks for toes. I probably spent as much time at running stores looking for the perfectly fitted running shoes as I did running marathons. The problem with most shoe fitters is that when you tell them you are experiencing toe pain, runner's toes, or losing toenails at an alarming rate - they are quick to recommend more room in the toe box. I'm here to tell you that is not the case. The more room I had in the toe box of my running and tennis shoes, the worse my runner's toe and turf toe became.
Finding the perfect running shoe fit is a quixotic quest.
I've met more people at running events and marathons with thousands of miles of experience missing their toenails and walking around with horrendous-looking feet. I tried everything to prevent runner's toe. I went through the toe sock phase, the silicone toe cap phase, and the double sock phase until I created a makeshift solution that worked - cutting off the tops of my socks and wearing them over my running socks. It prevented my toenails from falling off, but it had problems. The socks would bunch up and move around in my shoe.
The best socks for running are actually toe socks.
I created Toe Bumpers® toe socks for runners two years ago to prevent runner's toe, turf toe, and blisters. Toe Bumpers® ensure your running and tennis shoes fit like a glove.
Understanding the anatomy of the foot and toe is crucial for achieving toe comfort in socks.
The human foot is a complex, consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and a network of tendons, ligaments, and muscles. And no two feet are exactly alike!! Even within the same person, it's common for one foot to be slightly larger or shaped differently. Foot size and toe length vary significantly from person to person, which is why a "one-size-fits-all approach" to shoes often falls short.
