Patients often refer to all forms of toe abnormalities as a hammer toe. There are in fact four main forms of toe abnormalities, hammer toes, claw toes, mallet toes and trigger toes. A hammertoe can be best described as an abnormal contraction or "buckling" of a toe. This occurs due to a partial or complete dislocation of one of the joints that form the toe. As the toe continues to be deformed, it will press up against the shoe and may cause corns.

The primary cause of toe conditions is overpronation. This can be controlled via work insoles. People suffering with toe pain have been forced to live with the pain no longer have to put up with this condition while standing, walking or running. View the dr foot insoles range.
