Definition
Morton’s Toe is a common forefoot disorder where the second toe is
longer than the Big Toe (the Hallux).
Cause
Morton’s toe leads to excessive pressure on the second metatarsal
head (behind the second toe at the ball- of-the-foot) resulting in
pain similar to the discomfort associated with metatarsalgia. The
constant pressure placed on the longer second toe while walking or
standing can lead to callus formation under the second metatarsal
head due to this excessive pressure.
Treatment & Prevention
Proper treatment of Morton’s Toe starts with selecting proper
footwear. Footwear with a high and wide toe box (toe area) is ideal
for treating this condition. It may be necessary to buy footwear a
half size to a size larger to accommodate the longer second toe.
Orthotics that feature arch support to keep the foot aligned, and a
metatarsal pad to reduce stress on the ball-of-the-foot are often
recommended when treating this condition. Proper footwear combined
with a effective orthotic will provide relief from pain associated
with Morton’s Toe.
If problem persists, consult a foot doctor.

WalkAide: A major step forward in the treatment of foot drop. WalkAide was developed by researchers at the University of Alberta.
