My toes bend downwards when i stretch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendons. : You have several tendons in your feet that connect to your toes, and when you stretch, you tense muscles in your leg. This likely tugs on those tendons and pull your toes down. If you're concerned or experiencing pain, see a podiatrist.
