A member asked:
Both pinkie toes are extremely red and swollen. i know the root cause(steel toe boots for new job) but could this be dangerous? can toes have clots?

Shoes should fit: Avoid shoes that don;t fit you well or cause painful toes. Yes, this will cause trouble both in the long and short run. It can lead to bunions and infections. Toes can have small clots but ill filling shoes are not the usual casue.
