 Re: Big Toe Problems
With our interest in wearing high heels, I can't believe that no-one else has had the same foot problems I have, and the cause of mine was not due to wearing high heels!
Is there a message here? Perhaps it's not VERY high heels that are the primary cause of this problem, where the foot is on tip-toes, and there is not much of a pressure forcing the toes into the toe-box, but mid heels, where the foot is resting on a ramp. The tendency of the foot to slide down that ramp then provides a force to jam the toes together into the toe-box, particularly with pointed shoes, and especially if they are a size too small. Many women will buy smaller shoes than they need so that their feet do not look "too big", and we all know that it also helps to keep shoes (paticularly courts/pumps) on the feet.
Does anyone have any knowledge or evidence to support or disprove this theory?
