Foot problems: Finding the right shoesIntroduction
Footwear plays a large role in the
development as well as the prevention of foot and toe problems such as
bunions,
calluses and corns, and
hammer, claw, and mallet toes. Shoes that don't fit
properly make these conditions worse and more painful. Key points - A comfortable, well-fitted shoe offers you
the best chance of:
- Relieving pain in the foot or toe that is
caused by a deformity or joint problem.
- Preventing a foot or toe
problem from developing or getting worse.
- Preventing a toe joint
problem from returning after corrective surgery.
- Before shopping for shoes for your foot
problem, ask your foot health professional for recommendations.
