I <3 YOGA TOES! Yes that’s right, one of the best inventions of the 21st Century.  Nothing feels better after a long day on your feet then stretching them out with Yoga Toes…

As I mentioned in my previous post about Dry Cracked Feet? I have NASTY FEET! I have addressed the issue of the dry cracked heels, Round TWO: curly hammer toes.

Truth is I have heard of this product for quite some time now. I actually do yoga and while I’m not at the level where I can wrap my leg around my neck, they do teach you in yoga to spread out your toes and root yourself. The first time I did it, it felt great. I had no idea that one should stretch and tone your toes. The feet are often overlooked care wise in the overall beauty upkeep department.

Well turns out my friend Evette bought a pair of the Yoga Toes. I asked her to bring it to work so I may investigate the specimen and grill her on her honest opinion. If they work? Were they worth it? and so forth…

First off, she loved hers. She had pink ones and they are made of this like..flexible yet semi-gelantinous material that sort of well reminds me of a boob? Like a much firmer silicon boob implant. Suffice to say, I liked the material.

So I decided to invest in a pair of my own. I chose the size medium even though I wear a size 9 and was wondering if I should buy a large. Makes sense since it is the width of the toes not the length of the foot. The premise is simple. By gently stretching out your toes, this helps stretch and circulate the blood through the toes.

Think about it, when does this happen to your feet? They are usually squished into some heels, sandwiched into some boots and even when you wear flip flops, the toes aren’t stretched apart. Have you ever gone clubbing and at the end of the night your feet are BARKING! Once you kick of your heels and all the blood pools into your feet they swell up? Well folks that’s when I usually massage my feet and wish I had yoga toes to stretch out my aching toes.

To be clear, here is a list of the perks:

* relax & refresh overworked feet
* stretch & strengthen foot muscles
* help improve & prevent foot problems
* soft, flexible & hypo-allergenic

$49.95 (one pair)
$39.95 (two pairs)
$33.00 (three pairs)

Worth it!
