Greek foot: shoe types to avoid to prevent pain and deformity

People with a Greek foot — where the second toe is longer than the first — should avoid pointed-toe shoes, stilettos and flat pumps, as these compress the toes and can cause painful deformities such as bunions and hammer toes. Shoes with a wide toe box and proper arch support are recommended instead. Choosing the right footwear is essential for the health of the entire musculoskeletal system.
