Yoga Toes Review Part 2

June 18th, 2008 · Comments · Beauty Tips, Foot Products, Latest News

The "Yoga Toes review "search continues;   there seems to be a lot of people trying to relieve foot pain, and they must be wondering:

  1. Do Yoga Toes work?
  2. Are Yoga Toes worth the price?

 

The first review on May 11 was fair, IMHO.  There is no doubt that Yoga Toes could feel good to wear because of the toe stretch they induce.  Plus you get to sit around (Yoga Toes are not to be worn while walking).  But to actually change the shape of a foot?

There was a local news story about them, and I was pretty amazed to see a female attorney interviewed who thought her deformed feet were going to straighten by wearing gel pads.

Don’t get me wrong; I wish they would work.  I have a bunion of my own that I would wish away for $40!  But wishing won’t make it happen, folks.

Do people believe in Yoga Toes because they think they are like braces worn on teeth?  Then there’s the name "Yoga" thrown in; what do these have to do with Yoga?  I keep picturing some out of shape person lying on a sofa…"Look, I’m working out my feet with these Yoga Toes.  Working real hard."

A Yoga Toe Athlete:

Ask any Podiatrist or Orthopedist:  rigid bone deformities will NOT correct in this manner.  But there is nothing wrong with spreading your toes; it feels good.  You just don’t have to spend that kind of money!  Here are some great products:

Yoga Toes Are Over-Hyped

May 11th, 2008 · Comments · Foot Products, Latest News

Yoga Toes are simply gel forms placed between the toes ; it is recommended to wear them about an hour a day. They stretch and spread the toes. After spending hours in uncomfortable shoes or on one’s feet in inappropriate footwear, I have no doubt Yoga Toes feel soothing.ladyclipart

There is a free way to help feet feel refreshed and challenged ; just grab a towel, and with your bare feet try to wad it up, pass it back and forth, rotate your ankles, etc. This exercise is very helpful using different muscles and improving circulation.

The sellers of Yoga Toes say that the product stretches and strengthens foot muscles. They do not say which muscles are strengthened. What is implied however, is not only untrue, but could be harmful. There is a "before" drawing (not an actual photograph) of a misshapen foot in a sandal. Next is a bare foot encased in a Yoga Toe; and finally, a normal foot, the "after" drawing of a foot. Nothing is actually stated, but the implication of Yoga Toes improving feet in ways they really can not, is obvious.

Next, read the reviews page. Some comments seem genuinely realistic, offered by helpful customers. The problems arise with the unreal and incredible claims made that simple gel inserts can straighten BONES. Several people write that they saw their feet actually become straight, and in days.

The website prints all these reviews without setting the record straight. There were no disclaimers I could find regarding the ability of Yoga Toes to repair bones, only the misleading pictures and reviews. There is no way a gel insert placed between toes can repair a bunion or a hammertoe . If you believe that, I have some magic beans…
