Special Padding: There are pads that can be worn under the foot called 'metatarsal raise pads' or 'neuroma pads.' these help reduce the pressure on the enlarged nerve tissue in the area and hopefully let it shrink back to a more normal size.

Wider shoes: Once diagnosed and confirmed, the foot with morton's neuroma should never be in a narrow shoe or stilettos - all to avoid repetitive compression of the diseased nerve - no matter how briefly this could be!
