I forgot to add a bit more detail about toe ties. Its because I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome as well as hypermobility and my joints can just dislocate especially my fingers and toes so I don't risk toe ties if I might move around and wiggle too much. It wouldn't be so bad in the UK but now I'm in the US and the health system is so terrible, and some hospitals don't accept my insurance, I can't risk getting hurt out here as much.
