Upturned big toes!! Help!!

[Wildroseladybird]

I have no idea where to post this. My big toes point upwards and always have done. I keep my nails short and pedicured! I am constantly buying new trainers and canvas shoes after 6-8 weeks as my big toes rub the top of my shoes and create a hole 😞 any ideas? I have used plasters and tape over my toes to no avail!!

Are your shoes too narrow and forcing your big toe up because they are squashed in?
Have you tried wide fitting or barefoot shoes?

Shoes with deep toe-box. DB Wider Fit for instance.

Thank you, haven’t tried either of those things … will have a look into it 👍🏻👍🏻 xxx thanks again x

These are your friend! Put them into new trainers etc to prevent holes!

Have you seen a specialist? My friend had up turn toes.. she had an operation. They broke the toes and put a metal pin in them to keep them flat .
No more shoes with holes in.

Oh my word nowordforfluffy! NEED! Thank you so much!

During my bunion operation, the surgeon cut the tendon of the large toe so it no longer pointed skywards.

They're so good! My right big toe is worse than my left, though they both poke through eventually. 😩

I had the same issue so I went to a shoe repair store and they were able to put a piece of leather where the hole was! I didn’t get anymore holes in my socks until I rubbed through the leather.

Mine also point up. So do my dad’s. It’s definitely not due to shoes. Rodin’s The Thinker has the same issue!
