Neuroma pain can be aggravated by the wearing wrong shoes
If you have Morton’s neuroma, which causes numbness in your toes or pain in the ball of your foot, you already know that the severity of your suffering is affected by the shoes you wear. Morton’s neuroma pain is exacerbated by wearing particular shoes. The metatarsal bones will be compressed and the pressure on the neuroma will grow if your shoe is too small. This increased pressure will exacerbate the pain caused by your neuroma.
You should strive to get the broadest shoes you can find if you have Morton’s neuroma. You don’t want to get a shoe that is so wide that you slip around in it, but you do want the broadest shoe that fits well. Consider reducing your heel height, which will relieve strain on the ball of the foot.
