1. The toe area - toe problems/pain


A: Corns and calluses

Where?
Around the toes, usually the little toe, bottom of the feet or areas exposed to friction.		   Symptoms?
Hard, dead, yellowish skin.

Solution?
Soft cushions under heel or ball of foot in combination with wide shoes. Treat your Corns and calluses with the Manhattan Comfort Stabilizer insole

B: Bunions and bunionettes / tailor's bunion

Where?
Big toe (bunions) or little toe (bunionettes).		   Symptoms?
Metatarsus primus varus. The first (big toe) metatarsal bone shifts away from the second, and the big toe points inward.

Medial exostosis. This is a bony bump at the base of the big toe, which protrudes outward. Area next to bony bump is red, tender, and occasionally filled with fluid. Toe joint may be inflamed.

Hallux valgus. This is a deformity in which the bone and joint of the big toe shift and grow inward, so that the second toe crosses over the big toe.

Solution?
Soft, wide shoes or sandals. Avoid shoes with stitching along the side of the "bump.". Treat your Bunions and bunionettes with the Manhattan Comfort Multi insole

C: Morton's neuroma / interdigital neuroma

Where?
Inflammation of the nerve, usually between the third and fourth toes and bottom of the foot near these toes.		  

Symptoms?
Cramping and burning pain, or electric-shock sensation. The condition may produce a thick protective sheath around the nerve that feels like a ball. This may be detected by pressing top to bottom on the top of the foot using one hand and moving the other hand from side to side. Morton's neuroma / interdigital neuroma is aggravated by prolonged standing and relieved by removal of the shoes and forefoot massage.

Solution?
Wide shoes and proper Manhattan insole. Treat your Morton's neuroma / interdigital neuroma with the Manhattan Comfort Multi insole
