curled toe failure again

 I quit wearing the toe crest 6 months ago since the toes seemed good. Made it thru tons of hiking in Death Valley and Yosemite in November with no problem. Also good in Albuquerque and Taos in February no problem. This past weekend in Boston for the Frozen Four the problem showed up in force again. We had done 12,000 steps on the Freedom Trail and I was wondering why my left foot was hurting so bad sitting in the arena. Back at the hotel when walking barefoot on tile in the bathroom it was painfully obvious that toes 3 and 4 had curled under and I was walking on the toenails. Since I was no longer carrying the toecrest the next couple of days were hell, especially going downhill on Boston streets.

So I guess 15 years of toe crest therapy is not enough to cure the spasticity in my toes. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE CURE?

Toes 3 and 4 here on left foot have flattened out a bit. When I first removed my shoes you couldn't see the toenails at all

 
I guess I have to carry these all the time.
