What causes cramps in your feet that makes your toes separate?

Muscles: Usually this is caused by cramping of small, [intrinsic] foot muscles that are in the foot that help stabilize the toes.

Cramping: As said, this is usually the intrinsic muscles failing due to overuse . Orthotics help this , but properly hydrate as well
