strangle toe

When the Big Toe manages to squeeze through a newly formed hole in the sock, but then finds itself stuck there, being choked to death by the sock, until the shoe is removed and it can be manually released.

The strangle toe commonly occurs with men's dress socks, which are ridiculously thin.

I had the worst day at work today. I got strangle toe and kept having to go to the bathroom to remove my shoe and release my toe. I need to get some new socks before I lose a toenail.

Dude, I had strangle toe for so long today that the sock started to loosen up and release its grip a bit.

Just when I thought I was in the clear, double strangle toe set in and it started all over again.

Strangletoe

When one of your toes protrudes through a hole in your sock, but not all the way, somewhere in between. Enough to cause you severe pain in the toe.
I removed one of my shoes, it was just as I had suspected I had a wicked case of strangletoe on my big toe and boy did it hurt!
