See a podiatrist: If wearing shoes that have cushion and support for your feet, stretching shoes to relieve pressure do not help, and you have tried over-the-counter arch supports and they too have not helped, see a podiatist. There could be prescribed medicines and/or injections, padding, custom molded supports that might offer relief. Surgery can be an option that can provide longterm relief from these things.

Wider shoes: This problem can sometimes be relieved with changes in ones shoes. All of these problems may be treated with surgery but hallux rigidus is especially likely to need surgery. A steroid injection may give relief for a while.

Wide toe box: Try using comfortable orthopedic shoes with a wider toe box. Make sure that your shoes fit your foot type. Have your feet evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
