What Are Overlapping Toes?
Overlapping toes occur when the toes are pressed together so much so that one overlaps another. This can be very painful and even make it difficult to walk. Overlapping toes may start to develop in childhood due to a high arch or flat foot. In these cases, overlapping toes may be prevented with orthotics. In adults, overlapping toes may be caused by tightly fitting shoes or other foot conditions such as bunions.
How Can Therawear Help Treat Overlapping Toes?
If left untreated, overlapping toes can lead to further foot damage and conditions such as
calluses. Many podiatrists recommend treating overlapping toes with toe separators or gel caps. Therawear offers products to help correct overlapping toes while reducing friction and relieving pain. If the condition persists after home treatment, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about the possibility of surgery.
