What makes CareFoot different?(How it works) "Articulated Support Joint" bar provides correctional support to keep your big toe straight while being securely held by the Silicon straps. And since it's articulated, it doesn't interfere with toe's natural torsion. When you are taking (or off) a step, the concentrated weight of your body causes your foot's muscles to change in size and shape. And CareFoot 's stretchable Silicon straps contract and relax along with foot, resulting in highly comfortable walking experience - unlike cloth straps that don't stretch. The "Auxiliary Anti-Slip Strip" continuously ensures the correcting straptied to big toe stays in place even after extensive walking. For optimum results, we recommend minimum 1 month up to 6 months of use. Did you know every time you take a step, your foot changes size and volume? Just as your heart contracts and relaxes, your foot muscles also do so repeatedly. This muscle contraction & relaxation, combined with weight applied when taking a step, increases the circumference of your foot as much as a half inch, and the circumstance of your big toe as much as a quarter of an inch. CareFoot wraps around your foot and big toe with soft, highly flexible Silicon straps. So they stretch and flex together with your foot as you take a step... and also take off a step. They do not unnaturally constrict and pressure your foot, resulting in much more natural and comfortable working experience.
