Nothing: Metatarsus adductus is something you were born with. It cannot be corrected with shoes orthotics or bracing. It may make you more prone to bunions which can be painful seek evaluation with an orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle if you think you are having symptoms related to this.

The question is: Do you have pain? If you are asking for yourself, it states you are 43, so why all of a sudden would met addicts be painful in a 43 year old? What is bothering you? If it is for a child, then take the child to a podiatrist depending on the age, the foot could be casted, or orthotics or bracing dispensed, and lastly surgery is available.
