I see a foot doctor that specializes n nerve damage in the feet. He said do not buy shoes you can bend in half example heel to toe. They do not support your foot enough and can cause foot defects. I have had to wear larger shoes because when my feet start swelling from the neuropathy and lymphedema my shoes get too tight and caused the hammer toe. I have gone through the neuroma then hammer toes but the muscle in my feet have atrophied to the point I can’t control them as I walk. What I thought was interesting is it was my left foot also.
