Why Pro Runners Are Turning to Toe Bumpers for Toe Pain Relief

Running is a challenging sport that demands high physical and mental endurance. With the repetitive stress and pounding of the foot on the ground daily, runners often experience various types of toe pain, including turf toe, tennis toe, runner's toe, and bunions.

Elite athletes like hurdler Evonne Fatima Britton and high-jumper Inika Mcpherson are turning to Toe Bumpers for toe pain relief.

But what are Toe Bumpers, and how do they work? Toe Bumpers are seamless cushioned half-socks that athletes can wear over their athletic socks. Toe bumpers work by cushioning and reducing the extra space in the toe box of your shoe to minimize friction and toe jamming.

"I have bunions as a runner, and these are perfect to wear over my socks to give me an additional cushion and help prevent toe pain."

-Evonne Fatima Britton

"These toe bumpers keep your toes from moving around in your shoes, crocs, spikes, and what have you, and I love them. I've had many big toe issues during the training cycle before, and since I've been wearing these, I haven't had the issue anymore!"

-Inika Mcpherson
