Dr. Foot Hallux Valgus toe socks at a glance

• Individually positioned toes relax the toes and relieve lateral pressure
• Slight opening of the toes through gentle pressure on the midfoot
• Reactivation of sensory perception and mobility
• Supports muscle development in the foot
• Strengthens the foot and supports self-healing powers

Hallux valgus – what is it?

The causes of hallux valgus lie in modern footwear and closed socks. These constrict the toes laterally and press them together. Sensory perception becomes dulled, and the permanent misalignment of the constricted toes in the shoe becomes ingrained over time and turns into a chronic misalignment. From the ‘foundation’ of your body – your feet – it spreads throughout the entire body and leads to symptoms that one would not intuitively associate with the toes: a hunched back, shoulder and neck tension, headaches, jaw problems, tooth wear. The whole body becomes unbalanced due to the ‘bunion’.

The Knitido toe sock approach

Dr. Foot Hallux Valgus toe socks are toe socks with a compression band incorporated into the arch of the foot. This exerts gentle pressure on the midfoot area and relieves pressure on the toes. The individually enclosed toes prevent lateral pressure on the toe area.

The relief reactivates the sensory system of the individual toes and encourages the muscles to move freely – you will feel this in the urge of your toes to feel their surroundings. The increased movement stimulates muscle (re)building in the toes. The toes are reintegrated into the movement patterns of the foot instead of just ‘suffering’ beneath them.

You can wear these closed toe socks under loose-fitting conventional socks or directly in your shoes or sandals in summer.
