A hammertoe can either be flexible or rigid. ...

- The Benefits Of Going Barefoot
By: Kent Smith | - We all remember being kids and playing barefoot outside. I grew up in a rural community and so shoes were optional when it came to playing on the front lawn, climbing trees or even running down the street to play with a nearby neighbor. At some point, shoes became compulsory and the thought of going barefoot somewhere other than at the pool or the beach was simply not entertained. It is generally accepted that shoes are better for the health of our feet. After all, it is dirty outside! Of c ...

By: Kent Smith | - The symptoms of a Mortons neuroma tend to develop gradually over time. At first, you may only notice pain when you wear narrow shoes or put unusual stress on your foot.
