Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s neuroma is a thickened, irritated nerve in the forefoot, most often between the third and fourth toes. It typically causes a burning or sharp pain in the ball of the foot, along with tingling or numbness that spreads into the toes. Many people describe it as feeling like a pebble or a folded sock under the foot. It’s more common in women and is often made worse by tight, narrow shoes and high heels, which squeeze the bones of the forefoot together. This guide explains the causes, how Morton’s neuroma is diagnosed and the treatments that help. Our insoles for Morton’s neuroma support the forefoot behind the painful area to ease pressure on the nerve.
