YogaToes $37 There are lots of surface-level ways to get prettier feet, whether it’s by using pumice stones, Baby Feet, or a great pair of clippers. But my issue — bunions, or at least the fear of bunions — runs deeper. I inherited this fear from my grandma. For as long as I’ve known her, until she got them amputated, she had hammertoes, which means that her second toes curled over the next-door big toes, forming a sort of toe mountain.
When it comes to scientific research to back them up, one small study from 2012 found that using YogaToes eased painful foot contractions in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Otherwise, doctors say that, in general, stretching and exercising toes keeps them relaxed, which is a good thing.
They’re named after their inventor’s Iyengar yoga practice, which encourages the use of props to help make the most precise poses, from the stretch of the toes to the curve of the spine, and they look weird — like a gel ladder, a little bigger than the size of your foot, with just-thick-enough rungs that sit between each toe to stretch them outward from each other while also pulling them up away from the balls of your feet. These, too, have been passed down to me.
