Stretching a toe box upwards?

ExDancer

Its the height of the box that's the problem, not the width, and there doesn't seem to be a firm that understands this simple fact.

Yes, Widerfit shoes do.

Elegran and I both suggested that firm and Elegran has posted a link twice

Most of their shoes have two removable insoles too so your own can be used, or you can remove one of their insoles if you require even more depth.

Have you heard about Barefoot shoes? Almost all Barefoot shoes have a wide toe box and many more benefits for healthy feet. There is an article describing proven brands barefoot-brands.com/the-best-womens-barefoot-dress-shoes/. I would personally recommend Softstar and Anisha Shies. But perhaps you will find something there that suits your needs better.

I have recently purchased a lovely pair of Skechers boots, but the toe box isn't quite deep enough to leave room for my ingrown big toenails.

Has anyone got homemade ideas for stretching the toe box so it is deeper?

I can't wear sandals all winter!

My suggestion would be to take your shoes /boots to a good cobbler and ask for advice re deepening the toe box.

The only parts of my body that one can call ‘pretty’ are my feet. 😂 - sadly, they are never seen because I wear socks all the time.

I pushed tennis balls in some sandals to stretch the toe box upwards.
