Answer 1

What shoes do you wear? Is there any physical deformity of the middle toe? I feel that this might be related to your shoes.

• Shoes have a big impact on toes.
• Proper foot wear can help prevent most issues.
• Try toe wear shoes with plenty of room for your toes.
• If you do have pain, seek out your podiatrist to have your feet examined.

Answer 2

Middle Toe Pain Causes:

• The most common cause for experiencing middle toe pain is injury to your toe or toes.
• Injury to your toe can cause your toe to get infected and inflamed. One of the most common causes for inflammation is cellulitis.
• Proper foot wear is highly recommended to prevent toe pain as it can correct the position of your foot while walking.
• Walking can also cause thick calluses to form due to constant friction to your skin.
• These thick callouses can throw off the position of your foot causing you to have toe pain which can lead to tendon injury or deformity.
• Hammer toe is one of the most common tendon issues that lead to middle toe pain.
• This condition leaves the tendon attached to your toe very tight forcing your toe to contract without the ability to straight out.
