Toe Box. The toe area of the shoe is covered with PGuard which is a rubber and resin compound which does a great job at wrapping your toes for protection. Also, if you are a toe dragger you would surely enjoy wearing this type of shoe because the toe box is durable and it’s going to take some time for it to wear out.
Simply so, why do tennis players drag their toes?
When you push into the ground, the ground pushes back (equal in magnitude opposite in direction, thanks Mr. Rabinowitz, my 12th grade physics teacher!). You push more mass more powerfully with full foot contact than with a forward toe strike. Pushing from your toes limits your force to calf strength and ankle mobility.
Then, how much toe room should be in sneakers?
If the shoe’s toe box is too small, your toes will rub against the top of the shoe and you will get calluses or sores. Check the space at the end of the shoe. Stand up and make sure there is 3/8″ or 1/2″ (about the width of your finger) between your longest toe (usually the second toe) and the end of the shoe.
How do you treat tennis toes?

What foot do you step with when hitting a backhand?
The first tip is to have a powerful crossover step. From your ready position you want to take a crossover step to the ball. If you are a righty, this will mean that you step across with your right leg to your backhand side. This step will allow you to cover more ground than a conventional shuffle.
Why does my toe make a hole in my shoe?
The main reason for toes poking holes in the shoe is a smaller toe box compared to toe width and length. It creates friction in the toe box and, finally, wears out the shoe with holes. Also, shoes with inferior material will most probably have holes shortly.
How do I stop my big toe from poking in my shoes?
Choose socks that have padding or cushioning in the toe area. It doesn’t have to be thick cushioning; even a little bit of cushioning can prevent your toes from coming into contact with the toe box. This will reduce the amount of friction inside the shoe and help to increase the lifespan of your running shoes.
How do I stop my shoes from getting holes?
