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.

Q: What types of boots are in style at The Walking Company?

Ankle Boots: Ankle booties sit at a perfect height around your ankles and are easy shoes that help enhance any outfit. We offer short boots like the ABEO Compass Zip that are not only easy to style, they’re also a breeze to wear as well thanks to convenient double zipper closures. Knee High Boots: For something with a more striking cut that will easily keep you warm during the colder months, a pair of knee-high boots are a stylish must-have in your wardrobe. While our knee-high boots – like the ABEO Avenue Tall – are undeniably fashion-forward, they never compromise on your comfort. Our boots are engineered to be ergonomic and supportive, built with orthotic footbeds that cushion your feet wherever you go. Heeled Boots: In need of some added height with your boots? The Walking Company boots provide the elegant boost you’re looking for while promising serious comfort with every step. You never have to worry about foot pain and fatigue in sleek boots like the ABEO Metropolis Zip, which are both fashionable and functional thanks to a comfortable orthotic footbed. Lace Up Boots: Lace up boots are great for when you want a more rugged look to your outfits. They provide a more customized fit with their laces, ideal for when you want some adjustability with your boots. The ABEO Vista Lace is a warm and cozy option, keeping you supported thanks to its built-in orthotics and securing your feet in place with a lace-up vamp.

Q: Which type of boots are best for everyday wear?

Finding the best boots for daily wear will depend on your lifestyle and overall preferences. However, we recommend a more versatile silhouette – like ankle boots or Chelsea boots – as these styles look flattering and can complement any outfit.

Q: How do I know if I need regular or wide boots?

The width you need for your boots will depend on the width of your feet. If you usually experience discomfort and feel cramped in standard-width shoes, then you may need wider boots to better accommodate your feet. Feet bulging over the sides of your shoes is another sign that you may have wider feet.

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.

Look for boots that have proper cushioning and provide orthotic support to ensure your feet stay comfortable and supported as you go about your day. With Chelsea boots, ankle boots, knee high boots, and even sleek heeled boots, The Walking Company offers a vast collection of boots for women that you can pair with any outfit. No matter what the occasion, our comfortable boots for women are always crafted with your comfort in mind, ensuring your steps are supported in style.
