I have mixed feelings about these Marni Peep-Toe Ankle Boots ($920). I love the cut and color, but I have an issue with the peep-toe. I wish the "peep" was a little bigger because no matter how skinny my toes may be, they'll never show through that tiny hole.

We've followed the infamous camel toe throughout the ages and last December, Marc Jacobs took the toe to the next level at his Arabian Nights Christmas Party. Jacobs had the right message, but his delivery was all wrong. Since when does a mascot rally against the cause it stands for?

Ever have that feeling that you aren't showing enough camel toe? (Yeah, me neither.) But these folks thought it would be hilarious to make a prosthetic cup that will reveal your lady contours for all the world to see, preferably underneath spandex leggings. Hey, silicone nipples that you can affix to your own to give you that permanent "walking down the frozen food aisle" look you so desperately desire already exist, why not this?

Hey FitSugar,
When I use the elliptical machine, my toes go numb at about the 10-minute mark of my half-hour workout. Could this be caused be my stance? Or possibly my shoes?

The other night, my husband accidentally kicked the wall and did a doozy on his toe. Normally I don't fall for it when he over dramatizes these things, but we all know that nothing hurts worse than knocking your toe on the door jamb. His toe quickly turned black and blue and he claimed it was broken.

We're up to the third pose in the Standing Hand to Big Toe series. In Standing Hand to Big Toe A, your leg is straight out in front of you, giving you an amazing hamstring stretch. In Standing Hand to Big Toe B, your lifted leg is out to the side, so it feels amazing in your hips.

Dear Fit,
For a few weeks now, since the temperatures have plummeted recently where I live, I've been experiencing numb toes while running. Not only does it feel weird, but I'm worried that not feeling my feet will cause me to fall. Any suggestions about how to prevent this form happening?
