Can shoes cause toe arthritis?

Over time I wore cheap fashion flat, tennis and high heeled shoes. These past few weeks, my toes have been cramping and curling up. It could be my weight that is making my toes hurt, but I don’t know if it’s from that or my shoes.

Answer #1

It may… Keeping your feet cramped up is not good. I think you can make your bones in your toes start to develop arthritis from wearing shoes that are to small or too pointy. Flats are ok but not for a everyday wear. Shoes should be at least half size bigger so that your feet has enough space to relax. Your shoe should also have support in them, to support the bottom of the foot and heal.(Dr. Scholl’s) Great foot care products….Good Luck
