Causes
Morton’s Neuroma is a foot condition caused from an abnormal function of the foot that leads to bones squeezing a nerve usually between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads. Symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma often occur during or after you have been placing significant pressure on the forefoot area, while walking, standing, jumping, or sprinting. This condition can also be caused by footwear selection. Footwear with pointed toes and/or high heels can often lead to a neuroma. Constricting shoes can pinch the nerve between the toes, causing discomfort and extreme pain.
Treatment and Prevention
The first step in treating Morton’s Neuroma is to select proper footwear. Footwear with a high and wide toe box (toe area) is ideal for treating and relieving the pain. The next step in treatment is to use an orthotic designed with a metatarsal pad. This pad is located behind the ball-of-the-foot to unload pressure, and relieve the pain caused by the neuroma. The use of cortisone injections are very useful as well. Surgery for this condition, should always be a last resort.
If the problem persists, consult your foot doctor.
Easy to use, our hook and loop adjustable straps help accommodate multiple widths by being able to shorten or elongate the strap.

What Other Morton’s Neuroma Sufferers Say
These Saved My Life!
— Lisa R
These flip flops saved my summer! My plantar fasciitis was really bad and when I put these on I felt relief almost immediately. The discomfort continues to subside more and more each day, and is still improving, which I largely attribute to wearing these all day, every day. Plus, they felt very secure even when wet. Very thankful for these!"
My Favorite!
— Holly J.
These were the first shoe I ordered from Aetrex. I loved them immediately. I am now on my 3rd pair, including one for my daughter since she kept stealing mine! They are cushiony & supportive enough for a day at an amusement park plus the strap keeps them secure. Casual enough for everyday, but dressy enough for a night out means only packing one pair for trips."
Better Than My Bare Feet!
— Kimberly S.
These sandals are perfect. They are very cushioned and supportive in all the right places. I can already feel the difference with my pronation issues when I wear these slides. I also love that they are cute and so easy to wear. I wear them out or just around the house. I couldn't recommend more!!!"
