[pct-l] Toe socks

[Tortoise]

I am NOT a foot doctor. However in my experience, a little toe which 
"hides" underneath another toe is a symptom of boots/shoes that are too 
small in the toe area. Most boots and shoes seem to be too small there.

I've switched to New Balance shoes built on the SL2 last which provides 
enough room for my toes and a narrow heel.

I've gone to larger and wider shoes as my feet both have spread with age 
and weight; and are recovering from being squeezed into shoes before I knew 
better and found the NBs that fit.

My 2¢.
