Orthotic positioning apparatus and system

An orthotic positioning apparatus, comprising:

• a shoe extending along a longitudinal axis, the shoe comprising an interior, an exterior upper, a foot opening, and a toe box, wherein the exterior upper comprises a perimeter edge defining an elongate opening extending between the toe box and the foot opening;
• an insole removably disposed within the interior, wherein the insole comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, and a toe area configured to receive a user's toes;
• a plurality of resilient toe separator elements disposed at the toe area, the plurality of resilient toe separator elements projecting upwardly from the top surface along an arc and positioned within the toe box, each of the plurality of resilient toe separator elements including a proximal end adjacent the toe area, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a width configured to separate adjacent toes of the user's foot by a predetermined distance;
• a planar connector strip interconnecting the proximal ends of the plurality of resilient toe separator elements, the connector strip including an upper surface, each of the plurality of resilient toe separator elements projecting upwardly from the upper surface, wherein the bottom surface of the insole comprises a recess configured to receive the connector strip;
• and a cover configured to cover the elongate opening, wherein the cover comprises a side edge, a bottom edge substantially adjacent to the foot opening, and a top edge pivotally coupled to the toe box, wherein the cover is configured to selectively pivot from at least one of the top edge and the side edge to an open configuration such that the elongate opening is configured to expose the plurality of resilient toe separator elements in the open configuration when the insole is disposed in the shoe.
