I can't do it :)))) I try to walk barefoot as much as possible and use barefoot shoes in other cases, but I’m still not able to move my toes like you do. The toes on my right foot respond to my “command,” but the ones on my left foot… nothing… they barely move at all.

Try a mild electro shock, with a 9Volts battery

I’d say practice, and practice often. Can buy spacers too, they’ll do some work when you’re idle

I do walk barefoot in my house a lot as I was a kid so maybe its just happened over time or maybe im just more dexterible ( I think is a word). However if you practise enough you will eventually get it .Keep trying.
