I am recovering from my second hammertoe surgery on my right foot. Two toes this time. I had one toe done on my left foot 5 years ago. I am full of osteoarthritis in my toes and have bone on bone. I too am a walker and really need to get out there again. I am 83 and in pretty good health. Next January I hope to get another toe done on my left foot again. Also on my left foot I have pain on top of my foot and have trouble wearing shoes with laces. I think this is from all the years of wearing those high heels with points. I was in retail and wore them every day. I had very narrow feet so had to wear a AA width and I bet that's what caused all this. I had no problem until five years ago. Before that I could walk up to 6 or 7 miles on the weekends and a couple of miles every day during the week.

Hello, I came across your comment regarding inability to walk barefoot and was wondering if there has been improvement?? I had midfoot fusion for bunion, 2nd and 5th metatarsal osteotomy on 1/20/25. I am very concerned about how it feels to walk barefoot and wondering if and when it will get better. My foot is very stiff and I've had tendonitis issues from the surgery. It's getting better but very slow progress. I hope yours has improved.
