Why Tuff Toe is the only pitching toe I recommend

Every pitcher should have a good pair of spikes and a pitching toe put on it. (It goes on the same foot as your throwing hand, by the way, if you're a rookie.) Pitching toes really save your spikes from wearing out, especially if you tend to drag your back foot, which I did.

The only company I recommend is Tuff Toe. They have a factory dip program: You send in your spike, they professionally apply the toe. It costs about $20, but if you've ever tried to apply Tuff Toe to your own shoe, you know it's a messy process and usually ends up just ruining your shoes.

You also can get a one-size-fits-all plastic pitching toe at most sporting goods stores that you simply string your shoelace through, but I really don't recommend this option. Get some good spikes, and protect them with a pitching toe.
