Toe box

Ok kiddo, so have you ever noticed the part of your shoe that your toes go in? That's called the toe box! It's basically the front part of the shoe that covers your toes.

Now, the toe box can come in lots of different shapes and sizes depending on the type of shoe. Some shoes have a really roomy toe box that lets your toes move around freely, while others have a more snug fit that keeps your toes in place.

It's important to have a good toe box to make sure your feet stay comfortable and healthy. If your toe box is too small or too tight, it can squish your toes and cause problems like blisters, bunions, or even make your toenails turn black and fall off (ouch!).

So when you're looking for new shoes, make sure to pay attention to the toe box and find one that feels good on your little piggies!
