If you are wearing them seated, keep your feet grounded to allow for better circulation. Once your feet have adapted, add movement and increase the timeframe. You will find you have the most benefit from wearing the toe spacers when active. Wearing them as part of your warm-up, barefoot training session, or post workout adds the most benefit to the body.
