Q: What is hammer toe?

A common foot deformity, hammer toes pertain to changes in your toe joints that make them point upwards instead of lying flat. A hammer toe usually develops in the second joint of your lesser toes. Although a hammer toe may not affect the way you walk, leaving it untreated could freeze your toe in its curled shape.

Q: What does a hammer toe look like?

A hammer toe looks like a toe with an abnormal bend in its middle joint. This causes the tip to point downward, with the middle joint curving upward, thus resembling a claw or hammer.

Q: How to fix hammer toe?

Some hammer toe treatments include wearing shoes with wide toe boxes to help take pressure off your toes, using orthotics, toe exercises, and using toe pads. Using medical tape to hold your toes in the correct position may also help. Your podiatrist may recommend surgery if other treatments don’t alleviate your hammer toe symptoms.

Q: Does walking barefoot help hammer toes?

Yes. Walking barefoot on soft surfaces can help alleviate pressure and strengthen your toe and foot muscles, improving flexibility in the process. While walking barefoot can help, it’s not a replacement for other treatments and should be supplemented by other management options.

Wearing shoes that are too tight or narrow can force your toes into unnatural positions that may develop into hammer toes. Bunions can also contribute to the development of hammer toes, as they can push your toes out of alignment and put pressure on them. Other hammer toe causes can include having high arches, wearing high heels, injury, and toe muscles that are out of balance.
