Hi Debbie @dbeshears1 - Yup, I'm a poster boy for hammer toes. In fact when I was diagnosed with small fiber peripheral neuropathy, the neurologist giving me a physical exam asked if I minded if he took pictures of my feet. When I asked why, he said he was prepping a lecture or class and my feet were a perfect example of people with neuropathy who get hammer toes.

@jamieolson shared some suggestions you might find helpful in the following discussion:

I have thought about surgery since I think there is a simple fix to correct them but it really only bothers me when trying to trim my toenails 🙂 Hammer toe surgery: What to expect

My only suggestion which makes it a little better for my toes is wider more comfortable shoes.
