Shoes for Morton's Neuroma 

I appreciate the video. For a couple years after my neuroma’s developed, I did wear shoes that were both for stability and had a wide toe-box. However, several months ago, I strayed from the stability element and feel like my feet are becoming even healthier. Even getting some of my arches back. My last purchase (US) was a Hoka running shoe with a carbon plate. I had to incorporate them in quite gradually, especially when the shoes were newest.

Many thanks from across the pond!

Your video is very helpful indeed. I suffer from Mortons neuroma and although I wear orthotic insoles , it depends on the shoes structure let's say. Even if I wear athletic shoes the pain still exists in some cases. I recently found in stores , Asics gel nimbus model which has the characteristics you described and when I tried them at the store I realized from the 1st moment a great difference in walking. I am going to buy them . Your video came at the right time , where I.was looking for the proper shoes for me to wear. Many many thanks

Doc! Can’t tell u how bad I need these videos. I’ve lived with this for SO LONG, positive it’s Morton’s Neuroma and not able to have surgery due to no health insurance.

Great video, thanks!

My doctor claims the Sketchers shoes are what CAUSED my Morton's Neuroma!

Wish I could have used you, that surgery messed my foot up! I use Altra TOrin 7's and they are great for running.

Would any of the Altra versions be worth considering? They offer quite a few variations.

What about walking boots for long distances? Thank you for all your recommendations!

I read finding shoes like foot shaped may help since they allow the toe spread. I have Roman type feet and developed this condition along with that foot pad is always sweaty, End of the day the area swells so it feel like socks are crumpled and new socks and or inserts help. Hoping the sketchers will help but will memory foam work since told need good arch support?

Also been diagnosed with this extremely painful condition I had an injection between 3rd and 4th toe, it didnt work, turns out i was getting pain between 2nd and 3rd toe also - had injection there last week. I think its removed the pain there but defo still have pain inbetween 3rd and 4th toe, I dont really want to be cut open for this. Im worried the specialist is going to suggest this, Im leaning more towards a cryosurgery procedure. I have had ultrasounds and I was shown 2 neuromas 2nd and 3rd one was smaller 3rd and 4th one is 5.4mm. Trying some PT at moment. starting today. This is a horrible problem I can hardly walk with it at the moment

Thanks for very helpful video Dr. Im just diagnosed with a Mortons Neuroma between 4th and 5th metatarsal in left foot by a 2nd podiatrist. I didnt have any imaging. They are treating me with laser, an orthotic is ordered. Foot is padded whilst waiting for orthotic. Brooks Ghost neutral runners were recommended. I wear these indoors all the time. Now my perfectly working other foot is playing up. It feels like it has been stretched (sore at the heel and on the sole). I have deduced its the Brooks. What else could it be? I tried explaining it to the podiatry team but they dont agree its the shoe. It cannot be from exercising as Iv only just started them in last few days. That foot is nearly worse than the Morton's Neuroma one now. I cannot walk in the Brooks even though the left foot feels ok in it. Wondering have you heard of this happening to the opposite foot with new shoes.? Any help appreciated as Im at my wits end!! thanks

What of these shoes are available in Italy ? Many of the models you have mentioned on this video i have never heard to talk about . Thank you so much. Patrick from Italy

Thank you very much for the information! Could you give us a little more precision in the reference of the recommended shoes, please?

It is curious that you mentioned flat feet repeatedly, but did no mention those with high arches being susceptible to Morton's Neuroma. Which shoes would you recommend for we with high arches and MN? I have heard Hoka being recommended. Thoughts on Hoka shoes?

Do you find that Greek foot contributes to the development of Morton’s neuroma? And what do you think of the Kuru Ridge Motion hiker shoe?

II can only find some of these shoes online. There is not a shoe store where you can try them on anywhere in the Northeast that have these shoes in stock. You can have them delivered to some stores if you buy them first. Who wants to do that? I found some stores near me that carried a couple of the brands mentioned in this video but none of them had wide sizes or even thought they would be able to get them. There was a couple of shoes that carries Hoka shoes which are good but again none of them carry wide sizes. It is an order online world.

Though I have growing pain in my left foot…..I only recently received a podiatrist’s diagnosis here in USA. I am receiving laser and massage on that foot….and making footwear changes. I no longer can wear my ‘bargain price’ sketchers. 🥲…..but am wearing flip flops, and much wider shoes, icing….turmeric tablets, etc. I have high arches too. Ugh. So I will continue to experiment with all this until I am at ease. Ahna

What are your thoughts on Vivobarefoot shoes?

Which Xsensible shoe are you holding?

shoes are supposed to be foot shaped aka wide toe box. Shoes are supposed to be flexible. Shoes should not have arch support and/or have any type of cushioning. Shoes should be zero drop from heal to toe. example - Vivobarefoot, bohempia, feelgrounds, zero shoes, sole runners etc
