A member asked:
My toes are purple and swollen they have some sort of bruising on them but do not hurt. is it from shoes being to tight?

Sounds like you need: An evaluation. As bruising is a possibility based on what you describe but it wouldn't be very common to be related to just "tight" shoes unless they were very tight and you really logged in some serious mileage in the shoes. Seeing a doctor in person, just makes sure there is nothing more concerning going on.
