There's one moment where pace is decided: when your big toe leaves the ground. It's the final link in the propulsive kinetic chain – and the most powerful lever for propulsion your body has. In most shoes, it goes unused.


The Big Toe Trainer activates exactly the muscles that generate that push-off. Two exercises– Load and Launch – build strength, stability and elasticity right where seconds are won insport. One device, two exercises, three minutes a day.


Developed by Dr. Jan-Peter Goldmann at the German Sport University Cologne, together with biomechanist Lee Saxby. Precision-made in Germany from glass-fiber reinforced high-performance polymer – light, stiff, maintenance-free. Built to transfer every repetition cleanly, year after year.


Proven in lab studies: up to 70% more strength and 6% more muscle volume in seven weeks – even among pros. More push-off, more stability, lower injury risk.

Part of the Big Toe Power System
THE MISSING LINK

The Big Toe Power System is the decisive link to full foot function and creates a complete cycle where other approaches stop. 

It starts with reactivation through our socks and the alignment of the big toe using the spacers. The central power module is the Big Toe Trainer, which specifically builds the musculature that is crucial for propulsion. Our shoes give your regained strength the necessary space to permanently restore natural function in everyday life and while running.

Built with Science.
Tested by Athletes.


We do not develop in marketing meetings. We develop with Lee Saxby—one of the world’s leading biomechanists—and with athletes who test our shoes on every surface before they hit the market.

Disclaimer

Before starting any exercise program, consult your physician. Do not use the device if you have visible toe deformities such as claw toes. Training with splayfoot, flatfoot, or fallen arches is generally not a problem. The Big Toe Trainer is an excellent device for rehabilitating hallux valgus when used with a toe spreader to align the big toe during exercises.

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe, you should first consult a qualified therapist or physician to determine whether this product is appropriate for you. This is especially important if you are experiencing symptoms such as pain, swelling, deformities, numbness, tingling, or paralysis. This product description does not replace a professional diagnosis or a personalized training plan with individualized exercise recommendations. The information provided is general and not intended for self-diagnosis. This product description does not constitute therapy, but is for informational purposes only. The product description reflects the current state of knowledge and experience available at the time of publication. All exercises and recommendations from product description or videos are applied at your own risk and responsibility, regardless of whether a corresponding medical diagnosis or recommendation exists.
