Abstract
Hammer toe is a common foot deformity characterized by a rigid or flexible bending of one or more toes at the middle joint, often causing pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking. Footwear plays a crucial role in the management and prevention of hammer toe, as inappropriate footwear can exacerbate the condition and lead to further complications. This article reviews the importance of proper footwear in managing hammer toe, focusing on shoe features that can alleviate symptoms and prevent progression of the deformity. It also discusses footwear modifications, such as orthotics and custom insoles, which provide additional support to the foot. The article concludes with practical recommendations for individuals with hammer toe to improve comfort and reduce the impact of the condition on daily activities.
