foot health benefits of toetoe socks

As well as the obvious foot health benefits of toetoe socks, the separation of the toes makes it much easier to take attention to the individual functions of the metatarso phalangeal rays for the rehabilitation of a wide range of gait and foot posture related problems, such as Achilles tendonitis, anterior knee pain and low back syndrome.

Toes are the Engine of our Feet

As previously posted Enhanced Proprioception Technology (EPT) which is introduced by TOETOE in sock design with separate toes works wonders. Separation of the toes no doubt bring more toe movement but I would like to look into what it means to move the toes more.

Toe movement is a result of the work of the entire foot structure inside the foot with all the joints, muscles, ligaments and bones. Like the entire engine is working continuously. We have around two hunderd thousands nerve endings which carry vital information to trigger mechanical actions. In order to keep the nerve endings alive it is crucial to keep the blood circulating all the time. To keep this magnificent complex structure alive movement of the toes is essential.

Easy Foot Hygiene and TOETOE socks

Communal areas such as changing rooms, showers, swimming pools are the most common places to catch fungal infections which are caused by a number of fungal species. It is virtually impossible to notice that you may be picking up some else's skin from the floor which happens to have fungal infection.

There are 3 vital elements necessary for fungal growth which are moisture, warmth and food(dirt). As feet cramped in the warm, dark and sweaty environment of shoes or trainers, fungi multiply in this ideal ground very fast once feet are contaminated.

On the other hand, athlete’s foot also occurs in dry, flaky parts of the feet. Summer sandal-wearers suffer from this as a result as the sun makes the skin dry out, cause it to lose its natural protective oils; continues trauma from sandals contributing to the dry skin makes them more prone to infection.

TOETOE socks with its engineeered construction ensures that all 3 vital elements of fungal growth dramatically reduced. Separation of the toes with absorbant cotton maintains a dry environment by absorbing the excess moisture, as it stops the toe friction excess heat is not created and feet stay at optimum temperature, finally as the thin fabric fits perfectly to the contours of the foot there is no space for dirt to pile up. www.toesocks.co.uk
