Hammertoe is a contracture (bending) of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth (little) toes. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems. Because of the progressive nature of hammertoes, early treatment is required. Hammertoes never get better without some kind of intervention.
A custom orthotic device placed in your shoe may help control the muscle/tendon imbalance. A metatarsal pad or toe crest can provide some relief by providing a “platform” for the toes to rest on.
