I want to get socks that don't cram toes as much. The two types I'm aware of are the ones that have a separation for each toe like a glove, and the ones that just look like a normal sock but with more wideness at the toes. For aesthetic reasons I would prefer the second option. If anyone has good recommendations that are ideally pretty cheap and reasonable it would be greatly appreciated.

full disclosure first - this is my app, built with my co-founder, so i'm biased.

it's called walkito (iphone and android). you tell it where it hurts and how much time you have, and it builds a 3, 5 or 10 minute daily routine - short foot, calf raises, balance, stretches - with a video for each exercise. each morning you check in, and a bad day makes the session lighter.

the exercises follow published studies and the 2023 heel pain guideline. it's not a replacement for a clinician, and if your flat feet are rigid (the arch doesn't come back when you stand on your toes) exercise won't change the arch.

not here to spam, just figured some people here might find it useful. happy to answer anything about the exercises or the research behind them.
