Am I the only one who says “are these too wide are too narrow?” I’m trying to fit into steel toes and my 4th…

I have to tape my worst hammertoe down at the base of the toe. If I don't, it hurts even in athletic shoes. Try looking up some utube videos for hammertoe taping. It's cheap to invest in some tape and may help with your painful toe.

Wayne Young XLfeet have work boots with etrawide toe box. I tried them but my super high arch and instep wouldn't fit. Good luck.

the only one that gets frustrated because I don’t know what inserts I need or anything anything else and the doctors just won’t help

I went to the podiatrist. They gave me insoles and a sock to wear. The only thing that helped was the cortisone injection in my heel. Which hurt almost as bad as the heel pain. And it wore off after 2 months. I just didn’t go back. I just limp around and deal with the pain.

I’ve done absolutely everything and used every product but haven’t had surgery as I have too many ailments I’m on meds for gout that I didn’t even know I had Someone recommended a chiropractor so we will see

Why are my toes so twisted and bent?

Shoes and age. As we age our ligaments and tendons begin to loosen. These looser parts become unable to keep your foot in proper form. They begin to look like the shoes you wear. Deformed. Conventional shoes are not natural foot shaped. Pointed

Possibly bad fitting shoes. Are you a wide fitting?

Does anyone else out there feel like everything is too narrow so you’re forced to buy shoes that are too wide/long. However these shoes don’t fit right either, so I’m confused is it too big or too small I feel like an idiot

Weinstein Gabe, you’re not the idiot, the shoe designers are the idiots! Well, they’re not idiots but they design shoes based on what will sell rather than what helps us move better.

We probably need some kind of insert for our shoes but I hate em
