A member asked:
By tying your shoelaces too tight can you develope nerve irritation of the foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tight laces: They would have to be pretty tight . But , yes , it can be done if the nerve is in the right place and the laces hit it hard enough and often enough. See your podiatrist - this can become serious if you damage the nerve continuously
