The present invention relates to an exercise tool. More particularly, it relates to an exercise tool specifically devised as a toe stretcher to align, separate, and stretch toes. The toe stretcher comprises a frame with a separator for separating a plurality of toes. The frame further includes holes or indentations for placement of the toes. Additionally, the frame is flexible, allowing a user to easily manipulate the toe stretcher and place it on the user's toes, effectively separating and stretching toes. Furthermore, the toe stretcher may be attached with a footwear, allowing a user to not only stretch toes, but to also use the toe stretcher as a footwear.

a plurality of holes through the frame for insertion of a plurality of toes, wherein each hole in the plurality of holes includes an entrance into the back portion, an exit from the front portion, and surrounding walls connecting the entrance with the exit, wherein:
the surrounding walls in at least one hole in the plurality of holes is continuous and thereby sealed; and
the surrounding walls in at least one other hole in the plurality of holes is non-continuous and thereby not sealed, serving as an openable toe hole allowing for easy insertion of a toe, whereby a user may place the toe stretcher on the plurality of toes and effectively separate and stretch the toes.
2. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the openable toe hole is sealed through use of an enclosure.
3. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the enclosure is selected from a group consisting of Velcro, snaps, an elastic band, hole and pin, and a male/female joint system.
4. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 3 , further comprising a footwear attached with the bottom portion.
5. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a footwear attached with the bottom portion.
6. A toe stretcher for stretching toes, comprising:
a frame with a separator for separating a plurality of toes;
wherein the frame has an elongated top part connected with an elongated bottom part, and further includes:
a plurality of indentations included in both the elongated top part and the elongated bottom part for placement of a plurality of toes, whereby upon placing toes upon the indentations on the elongated bottom part, a user may close the frame by closing the elongated top part upon a top side of a corresponding toe or toes; and
wherein the elongated top part is connected with the elongated bottom part through a connector, whereby a user may place the toe stretcher on the plurality of toes and effectively separate and stretch the toes.
7. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the connector is a hinge.
8. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 7 , wherein an unconnected portion of the elongated top part and an unconnected portion of the elongated bottom part may be connected through use of an enclosure.
9. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the enclosure is selected from a group consisting of Velcro, snaps, an elastic band, hole and pin, and a male/female joint system.
10. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 9 , further comprising a footwear attached with the elongated bottom part.
11. A toe stretcher for stretching toes, comprising:
a frame with a separator for separating a plurality of toes;
wherein the frame has an elongated top part connected with an elongated bottom part, and further includes:
a plurality of indentations included in both the elongated top part and the elongated bottom part for placement of a plurality of toes; and
wherein an unconnected portion of the elongated top part and an unconnected portion of the elongated bottom part may be connected through use of an enclosure, whereby upon placing toes upon the indentations on the elongated bottom part, a user may close the frame by closing the elongated top part upon a top side of a corresponding toe or toes, thereby placing the toe stretcher on the plurality of toes to effectively separate and stretch the toes.
12. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the enclosure is selected from a group consisting of Velcro, snaps, an elastic band, hole and pin, and a male/female joint system.
13. A toe stretcher for stretching toes, comprising:
a frame with a separator for separating a plurality of toes;
wherein the frame has an elongated top part connected with an elongated bottom part, and further includes:
a plurality of indentations included in both the elongated top part and the elongated bottom part for placement of a plurality of toes, and
further comprising a footwear attached with the elongated bottom part, whereby upon placing toes upon the indentations on the elongated bottom part, a user may close the frame by closing the elongated top part upon a top side of a corresponding toe or toes, thereby placing the toe stretcher on the plurality of toes to effectively separate and stretch the toes.
14. A toe stretcher for stretching toes, comprising:
a frame with a separator for separating a plurality of toes;
wherein the frame has an elongated top part separated from an elongated bottom part, and further includes:
a plurality of indentations included in both the elongated top part and the elongated bottom part for placement of a plurality of toes, whereby upon placing a bottom side of toes upon the indentations on the elongated bottom part, a user may place the elongated top part upon a top side of a corresponding toe or toes and thereby utilize the toe stretcher to effectively separate and stretch the toes.
15. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 14 , wherein an unconnected portion of the elongated top part and an unconnected portion of the elongated bottom part may be connected through use of an enclosure.
16. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 15 , wherein the enclosure is selected from a group consisting of Velcro, snaps, an elastic band, hole and pin, and a male/female joint system.
17. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 16 , further comprising a footwear attached with the elongated bottom part.
18. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 14 , further comprising a footwear attached with the elongated bottom part.
19. A toe stretcher for stretching toes, comprising:
a frame with a separator for separating a plurality of toes;
wherein the frame has an elongated bottom part, and further includes:
a plurality of spacing members included in the elongated bottom part, thereby creating a plurality of indentations for placement of a plurality of toes, wherein:
at least one spacing member in the plurality of spacing members includes a vertical hole running from a top side of the at least one spacing member to a bottom side of the elongated bottom part, whereby a user may utilize the toe stretcher by placing a bottom side of at least one toe upon a corresponding indentation on the elongated bottom part and by placing at least one spacing member between adjacent toes, thereby placing the toe stretcher on the plurality of toes to effectively separate and stretch the toes.
20. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 19 , wherein a filament is placed through the vertical hole.
21. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 20 , wherein the filament is operative as an attachment, whereby a user may place the attachment over a top side of at least one toe and thereby utilize the toe stretcher.
22. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 21 , further comprising a footwear attached with the elongated bottom part.
23. A toe stretcher as set forth in claim 19 , further comprising a footwear attached with the elongated bottom part.
