Default Changes in my feet.

So now I estimate I'm spending about 10% of my time in 5 inch heels - some days several hours other days only an hour or so. Never at night, and about 1/3 to half the time I'm in heels I'm walking ot standing. All this said I've begun to notice some changes in my feet. I should first say that I was born with very high arches, strong calves and spent a lot of time in my youth on the beach in the sand. all this has led to a moderate case of hammertoes - not uncomfortable but my tos only lay somewat flat when I put pressure on them. In a relaxed mode they curl upwardfrom the ball with the first knuck forming a 120 degree angle. Now my toes even more curled upward at the ball of the foot - t the point that in typical dress shoes the tops of my toes are drawn up agains the top of the shoe. When I'm in heels the toeslay flatter aand more comfortable - As long as I stretch every day I don't seem to have any tightness in my calves and I notice I also have to spend nore time streatching the quads. My toes are also forming a little closer together at the toe, but there is no serius redness or callouses
