A member asked:

Should i wear shoes with a broken little toe?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Maybe: As long as the toe is not deformed and you can put your shoes on and be comfortable there is nothing wrong with wearing your shoes.

Yes: As long as the shoe is not narrow, it should be okay to wear shoes. The stiffer the shoe the better to reduce movement of the 5th digit.
