Morton's Neuroma: Choosing the Right Shoes for Pain Relief Foot pain affecting the ball of the foot is a common problem, and many people suffer from Morton's neuroma. Podiatrist Paul, a foot specialist based in Singapore, recently shared a video offering advice on how to alleviate the pain. In the video, he highlights the importance of wearing shoes with a wide toe box to reduce pressure on the nerves in the forefoot. He specifically recommends Altra shoes as a good option. "Walking on a pebble? That burning, stabbing pain in the ball of your foot could be Morton’s neuroma," says Podiatrist Paul in his video. He goes on to explain that tight, narrow shoes only exacerbate the problem. "Wide toe box = more space, less nerve compression," he emphasizes. The video has garnered significant attention, with over 17,000 views in less than 24 hours. This demonstrates the widespread interest in finding effective solutions for foot pain. Podiatrist Paul's advice on choosing appropriate footwear offers a practical and accessible approach to managing Morton's neuroma.
