Do you find yourself constantly squeezing into shoes a half-size too big because of your long toes? You’re not alone. Many people experience discomfort and self-consciousness due to excessively long toes. Fortunately, toe shortening surgery has emerged as a safe and effective solution.
This cosmetic foot surgery addresses a variety of concerns, including:
Painful rubbing: Long toes often rub against the inside of shoes, causing blisters, corns, and discomfort.
Limited shoe choices: Finding well-fitting shoes can be a challenge with long toes, impacting your style and activities.
Cosmetic appearance: Long toes can be a source of self-consciousness, especially during sandal season.
Toe shortening surgery, performed by board-certified podiatrist like Dr. Shobowale at the DeNiel Foot and Ankle Center in Houston, TX, can address these issues. This outpatient procedure realigns toes and removes a small portion of bone, alleviating pain and enhancing foot aesthetics. Recovery is swift, allowing you to step into newfound confidence with properly fitting shoes and comfortable, beautiful feet.

A running injury such as shin splints is moderately common. Many people believe they were not “designed to run” because they have shin splints. Shin splint is an injury that can be managed.
Running problems, such as Achilles tendonitis, Morton’s neuroma, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis, are musculoskeletal system inflammations. In many circumstances, the ligament or tendon where it links to the bone is inflamed. The discomfort and pain from these injuries are caused by inflammation.
Runners desire to continue running. Most runners are hesitant to visit our Houston podiatry office for fear of being told to stop running. The problem with that logic is if they arrived earlier before the problem had become unbearable, I would not have told them to stop running… but now I must.
