Big Toe Hole Preventer patches
What causes big toe holes?
Here comes the science… the condition that can cause big toe holes is called hyperextension of the distal phalanx. In layman’s terms, it means that every time you take a step your big toe lifts at the end. Every time your big toe lifts it rubs against the inside of your footwear, which eventually leads to a hole appearing.
Podiatry professionals have indicated that as many as 1 in 5 people suffer with this condition. Many people are not aware that it is a condition and will blame the quality of their footwear, long toenails or having the wrong size footwear.
UNNOTICEABLE AFTER FITTING
