Reason 4:
Strengthen your feet
Strong feet are healthy feet.
At some point, they affect almost all of us: those annoying, creeping foot pains. At first they are only mildly irritating, then they begin to interfere with everyday life — and before long, the feet can become seriously deformed. Yet many of these problems can be prevented quite easily.
The less your feet are squeezed into tight, rigid shoes and the more freely they can move, the stronger they become. And the stronger the foot muscles are, the less vulnerable your feet will be.
But what do toe socks have to do with that?
Step 1: Use the foot as the standard
...not the other way around.
Have you ever noticed? Shoes follow current fashion trends, and socks are designed to fit the shoes — not the feet. The result: from the very beginning, feet are squeezed into a narrow tube, and the toes are pressed together to fit an anatomically unfavorable shape.
Knitido® simply turns this process around: our toe socks don’t just feature separated toes — other details such as the heel shape and the width across the instep also play an important role in the design, ensuring that the socks truly adapt to the natural shape of your feet.
That’s also why they feel like a second skin.
Step 2: Choose the right shoes
If you eventually start choosing wider shoes while wearing toe socks, that’s not only natural, it’s actually a very good sign. It means your feet are reclaiming the space they need because they are finally able to move freely again.
Do your feet a favor and give your toes enough room. So-called barefoot shoes are ideal for this, as their thin and flexible soles adapt to the natural movement of the feet.
