What Men’s Shoe Features Are Best for Hammertoes?

Men’s shoes that are specifically designed for hammertoes can provide support and relief for this foot condition.

View additional details below on the best features for men’s shoes for hammertoes.

• High/wide toe box: A high and wide toe box can provide extra room for the toes to accommodate hammertoes. Depending on the severity of the foot condition, a double depth (two layers of removable inserts) may be needed to adjust the shoe's depth. A shoe with more interior space will allow the toes to spread out naturally and prevent rubbing.
• Soft, stretchable uppers: Soft, stretchable uppers, especially at the toe box area, can help prevent rubbing and irritation. Materials like stretch knit mesh or Lycra® offer some give at the toe area for enhanced comfort during wear.
• Seamless or soft interior lining: A seamless or supple material lining can reduce painful rubbing on the hammertoes. Seams inside the shoe can irritate hammertoes. Choosing a shoe that is soft on the feet and does not have seams can enhance the overall comfort of the shoe.
• Arch support: Good arch support can help anatomically align your feet and lower body. A contoured insole with a raised arch and deep heel cup can position your foot so that the body weight is distributed evenly across the foot and reduces pressure on toe joints as you move.
• Cushioned sole: A cushioned sole can provide extra shock absorption, which can reduce pressure on the feet and lower body joints. Choose a shoe that offers cushioning at the heel and toe box area to reduce impact on your feet as you walk.
