Chronic injury can be career ending for many athletes, and US national team lacrosse player Trevor Baptiste thought turf toe was a pain that would mar his entire professional life. When the foot slides inside the shoe, particularly during turf sports, the big toe (metatarsophalangeal or MTP) joint can sprain or bruise due to the upward bending. Baptiste had tried shoes a size too small, but the constant jamming of his feet made the injury worse. Being introduced to Blumaka’s insoles with their propriety non-slip technology was a “turning point”, he says. “The non-slip changed how secure I feel in my shoes.”
