@drhannahleedpm: Does that toe stay bent? The middle joint has started to buckle. That is a hammertoe. The knuckle sticks up and rubs the shoe. Tight or short shoes can aggravate it. They can also contribute to causing one by forcing a toe into a cramped position. Give the knuckle room in a deep toe box. A pad can ease the rub. It does not straighten a stiff joint. If you cannot flatten the toe, get it checked. Can you still flatten that toe? Tell me yes or no. #hammertoe #footpain #podiatrist #toepain #shoefit
