toe boxes

Where toes sit

The toe boxes are the front portions of shoes that enclose and protect the toes.

A roomy toe box prevents cramping; a narrow one can cause blisters or bunions.

Runners and hikers pay particular attention to toe box fit: These boots have a wide toe box that lets my toes spread naturally.
