Overlapping Toes

What are Overlapping Toes?

OverlappingToesOverlapping Toes results where one toe lies on top of an adjacent toe, causing discomfort and pain. Pain and inflammation are common symptoms of overlapping toes. If left untreated, it can interfere with the normal function of the foot. You should visit your doctor if you suspect you are suffering from this type of foot problem.

 

The Causes

Wearing footwear with a constricting toe box can lead to overlapping toes. Another common cause is bunions, usually found in adult women. Overlapping of the fifth toe may occur among children and can be easily corrected.
