Specializes in Podiatry

Could be wrong size: If you are wearing shoes that are hurting and this gets better with wearing wider shoes, you may not be wearing the proper size. It is wise to go to a good shoe store and be professionally measured.

Dr Beresh and another doctor agreed

Neuroma: If only loose shoes feel good there may be an enlargement of a forefoot nerve called a neuroma.
