Your feet are more than just the things that carry you from place to place
They’re the foundation of your body’s alignment, balance, and movement. With 26 bones, 30 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments in each foot, this complex system works every day to support your body, absorb impact, and keep you upright and moving with ease. But when your feet fall out of alignment, the entire body feels it. Even a slight imbalance can lead to pain in the ankles, knees, hips, or lower back. Over time, these compensations can rewire how your body functions - training muscles to work improperly and increasing your risk for injury.
Misaligned Feet Affect Your Entire Body
Your feet distribute the weight of your body and help you maintain balance. If they’re misaligned, everything above them - ankles, shins, knees, hips, spine - has to adjust, creating a domino effect of tension and dysfunction. That’s how chronic discomfort begins.
Healthy feet truly are the foundation of a healthy life. Without them functioning properly, your body is forced into constant compensation mode - which over time leads to breakdown, pain, and reduced quality of life.
Your Feet Are Connected to Everything - Even Your Organs
It’s easy to forget how connected the body really is. The thousands of nerve endings in your feet don’t just support balance and motion - they’re also in constant communication with your brain.
When your feet are in pain or out of alignment, those nerve signals tell your brain something is wrong. In turn, your brain sends instructions to the rest of your body - compensating for the issue and sometimes even affecting organ function. It’s all part of a continuous feedback loop between your foundation (your feet) and the rest of your system.

FAQS
Collapsible content
What is the Soletic Spacer, and what does it do?
The Soletic Spacer is a device made of silicone which is placed between the toes to help realign them into a more natural position. They’re used to improve foot health, reduce pain, and enhance balance, especially for people with bunions, hammertoes, or narrow footwear habits.
What makes the Soletic Spacer unique?
Unlike traditional toe spacers, the Soletic Spacer is built to move with you. Designed with secure silicone straps, it stays comfortably in place whether you're training, walking, or just going about your day. Unlike bulky or floppy gel models, ours stay in place during workouts and target proper toe splay for long-term results.
Who should use toe spacers?
Anyone can benefit from toe spacers, but they’re especially helpful for:
People with bunions or overlapping toes
Athletes, runners, and lifters
People who wear tight shoes regularly
Those with plantar fasciitis, hammertoes, or poor balance
How long should I wear the Soletic Spacer each day?
Start with 10-15 minutes per day and gradually increase as your feet adjust. Many people work up to 1-2 hours or even longer. Listen to your body - discomfort at first is normal, but it shouldn’t be painful.
Is the Soletic Spacer safe to wear every day?
Yes, for most people. As long as they’re comfortable and you gradually build up usage time, daily wear is safe. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or nerve issues, consult a medical professional first.
How do I clean my toe spacers?
Wash them with warm water and mild soap. Let them air dry completely before the next use. Avoid exposing them to high heat or harsh chemicals.
Do I need to wear toe spacers forever?
Think of toe spacers like braces or posture correctors - once your feet adapt and stay aligned naturally, you may not need them as often. But many people continue using them for maintenance, especially after long days or intense training.
