Why do we have toes? Do we use toes efficiently?

Nearly every walking animal has toes.The toe, in humans the big toe or
hallux, is the last lever used to push off the ground during walking.
Without that toe, the mechanics of walking would be very difficult, and
not very efficient.

Our body design is determined by our evolutionary ancestry. We have
toes because our ancestors had toes. Although human toes have
become shorter in our evolutionary history,there is no reason to think
that they will disappear completely in the future.

So, how efficiently we use our toes? If you imagine for a minute that
you do not have toes, what do you think will happen? Most people
answered me as they would loose their balance.

Wearing conventional socks as in all the toes squashed together, by
design, suggests that the toes neither need to be separate nor move.
This is where we start working against the anatomy of the foot.

Separation of the toes, like being bare foot is absolutely necessary for
the feet to fully function. TOETOE socksspeacially enginered to work for
and with feet.Please see TOETOE socks at www.toesocks.co.uk

Enhanced Proprioception Technology EPT

EPT™ (Enhanced Proprioception Technology)
Separation of the toes contributes to the proprioception and bio mechanical function, whilst creating an environment that reduces the likelihood of inter-digital pressure and abrasion.

EPT™ improves body balance with subconcious movement of the toes and improved communication between body and feet. EPT™ ensures the fabric mould into the contours of the foot for a perfect fit. EPT™ introduces controlled temperature as the toe friction is prevented hence excess heat is not created.
