claw. Claw is a foot deformity that occurs when the first phalanx of the second, third and fourth toes or Firth is permanently bent. The condition is often caused by ill-fitting shoes that force the toes into a folded position. Over time, an imbalance develops between the tendons in the toes resulting in permanent contraction of the muscles of the toes. Hammertoes can be rigid (for example, it is impossible to straighten the toe) or flexible. appropriate footwear is one of many treatments a podiatrist will prescribe to treat this condition.

If you have a claw, look for shoes that have wide and deep foot boxes that allow your feet flat. Also avoid shoes with heels especially high. The high heels causes your foot to slide forward in the shoe, often cramping or bending the toes. (Ladies ready. You have to limit yourself to ½ inch heels or less. Your toes will thank you.)
