Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still do cardio with Morton's Neuroma?

Yes, focus on non-weight bearing or low-impact activities like swimming, cycling with stiff-soled shoes, or rowing to avoid repetitive forefoot impact.

What should I look for in workout shoes?

Look for shoes with a wide toe-box that allows your toes to splay naturally and a firm sole that prevents the metatarsal heads from bending excessively.
