Best Shoes For Hammer Toes Women’s

We all know that hammer toes are a common problem in women’s feet. Hammer toe is a condition where the toes bend over at the middle joint (MTP joint) and point towards each other. This causes the toes to look like a hammer, hence the name. The way you walk is affected by your foot shape, and this can cause pain in your toes or ankles. You may have hammer toes if you see that one or more of your toes are bent at the middle joint and pointing towards another toe on the same foot. This could be painful if it happens suddenly or if it has been happening for a long time without treatment.

What is a Hammer Toe?

If you have bent toes which are causing you pain or discomfort, you may well be suffering from a common foot condition known as Hammer Toes. Hammer, Mallet and Claw Toes are all commonly referred to as Hammer Toes. Hammer Toes occur when the joints of the toes are bent upwards, creating an inverted ‘V’ shape. There is a difference between these conditions. A hammer toe refers to a bent middle joint. A mallet toe occurs when the joint closest to the tip of your toe is bent upwards. A claw toe occurs when the joint at the base of the toe is bent upwards. Hammer toes are often accompanied by calluses and corns; small lumps of hard skin which can be very painful too. Some of the main causes of hammer toes are foot structure, trauma to your toes, medical conditions such as diabetes and arthritis, and wearing poorly-fitting footwear. If you suffer from this condition, it is very important to wear comfortable shoes for hammer toes.

Causes of Hammer Toes

There are several causes of hammer toes. One of the most common causes of hammer toes is a trauma to the foot. If you sustain a traumatic toe injury such as breaking, stubbing or jamming your toe, you may be left with a hammer toe. Your genetics can be another cause of hammer toes. If you are born with longer toes or you have an unusually high arch, you are more likely to develop hammer toes. Flat feet can also cause hammer toes. Bunions, which are also genetic, can also put pressure on your feet and cause hammer toes. This is often a problem in high heels, so it is important to find comfortable high heels with a wide toe-box. Finally, your choice of footwear may cause hammer toes. If you wear uncomfortable shoes with a narrow toe-box (the area at the front of the shoe) you may risk forming hammer toes. If your toes are crowded in the toe-box and can’t lie flat, they may form a curled position which persists even after you have taken off your shoes.

Can Shoes Worsen Hammer Toes?

If you are starting to form a hammer toe, you may be wondering whether your choice of shoes can worsen hammer toes. The answer is yes, so it is important to wear comfortable shoes for hammer toes. The best shoes for hammer toes will have a wide toe-box. The area at the front of the shoe (the toe-box) needs to be spacious in order to accommodate those difficult joints and bent toes. Look for shoes with plenty of volume at the front of the shoe. This will prevent your hammer toes from cramping, which can exacerbate the problem. It is important to make sure that your hammer toes are not rubbing against the top of the shoe, as this can lead to painful corns which can be hard to get rid of once they have formed. The good news is you can still wear heels, but we would recommend avoiding anything over 3 inches as very high heels can put pressure on your hammer toes and toe joints. Although you may think it is difficult to find hammer toe shoes which will accommodate this awkward foot condition, there are plenty of comfortable and stylish shoes for hammer toes available. Just make sure you avoid narrow, ill-fitting shoes and start looking for comfy, accommodating shoes for hammer toes.

Carmen: Black Suede – Best Heels for Hammer Toes Good news shoe lovers! Heels for women with hammer toes exist! If you are looking for heels for hammer toes, you need to look for shoes with a deep and wide toe-box. Your claw toes / mallet toes / hammer toes should not be constricted or rub against the top of the shoe. All hammer toe shoes (including high heels) should be made from very soft leather. Look for hammer toe shoes with leather lining to prevent rubbing against your painful joints and leather uppers which will give a little, and conform to the contours of your foot. This will ease the pressure on your hammer toes and provide a comfortable fit which will enable you to wear your heels for hours on end! All Sole Bliss heels are designed with a deep and wide toe-box with a circumference of up to 3 sizes bigger than your usual shoe size, which gives your toes space to breathe and relax.
