It's not big secret to us, but a lot of men buy and wear toe rings.
Lots of guys do email us though, asking if it's okay for them to wear toe rings. They also want to know what toe they should wear them on (any toe is fine). Wearing toe rings is not a sign of sexual preference by any means.
Toe jewelry is largely associated first with Indian culture, then Bohemian fashion, and now has become a popular reflection of beach culture, flip flop-wearers, and a fun vacation indicator.
Men and women tend to wear toe rings on the second or third toe, and sometimes the big toe. This type of jewelry was largely marketed to women, but toe rings are generally unisex designs. However, around the 1990s, more masculine toe jewelry designs emerged in fashion. American male surfers were the first large group of men to sport the body jewelry accessory. Today toe adornment is becoming more mainstream for men who like jewelry.
For many years, Indian men have been known to wear toe rings on each big toe - a sign of masculinity, power and strength. They may also wear toe rings for medicinal purposes, utilizing pressure points on the toes for healing. Indian women also wear matching rings on their toes as a sign of marriage.
People can expect to see more men wearing toe rings in the future with the large selection of masculine designs and the greater social acceptance of male body jewelry.

I love wearing toe rings. You can wear as many as you want! I’m married and my wife thinks it’s cool. Most of the time I wear six toe rings, only on occasion do I wear 1. Love wearing them.
i recently (2 months now) bought a sterling silver ankle braclet and wear it all the time ( shorts or jeans)my next step is a sterling silver toe ring to match.Im in Hamilton On where can i buy one
I am a fulltime barefooter because of neuropathy and CRPS from 2 hip replacements. I wear an anklet on both ankles, an adjustable toe ring on the left foot 2nd toe and 2 fitted toe rings on right foot 2nd toe. Used to wear a fitted ring on left foot but toes are paralyzed on that foot and I kept losing it. In the summer when my feet are tan it’s bare nails, in the winter it’s black polish all scratched up. Nicely painted nails are just too feminine for me. I have the same rings for my wedding band and my toes.
I actually wear 18 toe rings on the 3 middle toes on each foot. I triple stack them, thin gold bands and thicker silver ones in the middle with different designs. And some toes all 3 are silver but the middle ones all have different styles. I go barefoot everywhere too, so the toe rings guve me a challenge being that most guts don’t wear them. But I have gotten numerous compliments from women and I’m sure funny looks from both men and women. But most don’t care they have more important things to worry about than what’s on someone’s toes lol.
I’ve been wearing toe rings on and off for the last 20 years, I’m now 50 and for the last 5 years worn a 5mm plain silver band on my left 2nd toe almost permanently. I haven’t received any negative comments, in fact one girl where I get my pedicure said how nice it looked, and preferred it to men with earrings! I forget it’s there to be honest until I catch a glimpse of it in a reflection or someone comments on it. So if you’re thinking about it just do it, be yourself and wear what makes you happy!
