Allows Your Toes to Perform as Nature Intended

These foot healthy toe socks encourage proper balance, stability, posture, and grip, and they allow your entire foot, including your toes, to perform as nature intended.

These toe socks heighten your foot dexterity and tactile sensitivity and reduce your chances of developing blisters, hotspots, moisture accumulation, and other foot-specific problems, such as Athlete’s foot.

===================

10 Death from Hamster Spit

9 Death from Peacock Scratch
On March 30, 1997, Vichai Thongto from Thailand was feeding the family’s four peacocks when one clawed at his head. He soon began suffering headaches and fell into a coma. A hospital scan showed a blood clot on his brain due to the peacock’s scratch. He died the next day.

8 Death from Deodorant
Jonathan Capewell from Oldham England was obsessed with smelling fresh and would cover his entire body with deodorant at least twice a day. He died July 20th, 1998 from a heart attack after the deodorant gasses built up in his body over months of repeatedly spraying himself in his unventilated bathroom.

7 Death from Manners
Tycho Brahe, a Danish nobleman and astronomer, died October 24, 1601 from bladder complications after attending a banquet where he refused to use the restroom knowing that it was impolite to leave before the meal was done. After the banquet Tycho no longer was able to urinate, and 10 days later he died. It is reported that he wrote his own epitaph, stating “He lived like a sage and died like a fool.”

6 Death by Dessert

I wonder if Tycho Brahe was at that meal because that would have taken a while…

5 Death by Laughter
On 24th of March 1975, Alex Mitchell passed away after watching the “Kung Fu Kapers” episode of The Goodies. Reportedly, due to the TV episode, Mitchell laughed continuously for 25 minutes, and finally fell dead on the sofa from heart failure. His widow later sent a thank you letter to The Goodies for making Mitchell’s final moments of life so pleasant.

Chapman collapsed and died August 17, 1920, about 12 hours later. He remains the only baseball player killed by a pitched ball.

3 Death from Frustration
Jack Daniel, yes, THE Jack Daniel, died of blood poisoning the originated in his toe. One early morning in 1911, Jack daniel kicked his office safe in anger, because he couldn’t remember the combination to open it. That anger and a powerful kick to the safe resulted in an infection in his toe and ultimately his death. His last words were, “One last drink, please.”

2 Death by Tongue
Allan Pinkerton, the founder of the famous Pinkerton detective agency, died in Chicago in 1884 after he slipped on the pavement and severely bit down on his tongue. Due to the bit, his tongue became infected with gangrene, which resulted in his untimely death.

1 Death by Irony
Bobby Leach was one of the greatest dare devils to ever live. He would regularly perform death defying stunts and was only the second person in history to go over the side of the Niagara Falls in a barrel. One day, however, while walking down a quiet street in New Zealand, Leach slipped on an orange peel, broke his leg, and died due to complications that he developed afterwards.

ANKLE SPRAINS
Like most sports, ankle sprains are common volleyball injuries. Athletes can land awkwardly from jumps. They can turn their ankle landing on another player’s foot. While these ankle sprains rarely need surgery, they can lead to weeks off the court.

ACL INJURIES
These knee injuries can sideline an athlete for an entire season and require surgery and months of rehab. ACL injuries are especially common in female athletes who must land from jumps in their sport, so it should be no surprise that they are common in this sport.

FINGER INJURIES
Fractures, dislocations, and tendon and ligament tears in the fingers are common as players try to hit a ball moving at fast speeds.

SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT
The shoulder is a common site for overuse problems in volleyball players. Often athletes develop internal impingement from the repetitive overhead motions. Fortunately, rest and physical therapy can help them overcome the pain. Occasionally more serious shoulder injuries, like SLAP tears, can develop.

LOW BACK PAIN
The repetitive hyperextension of the lumbar spine with spiking and blocking can cause low back pain. Most of the cases are muscular and resolve with rest and physical therapy. Occasionally, spondylolysis, which is a stress injury to a small bony area in the lumbar spine, can develop and require a long absence from the sport.

PATELLAR TENDINITIS
This overuse knee injury is common in athletes who play jumping sports, like basketball and volleyball. The athlete will notice pain below the kneecap during practice and games that initially improves with rest. Patellar tendinitis can start to limit performance over time. Often rest, ice, counterforce straps and physical therapy can help resolve the knee pain.
