Mallet Toe
Mallet toe is a condition in which the toe is bent at the upper joint and appears to curl. It is similar to hammertoe, in which a toe curls at the middle joint. Both conditions can result in pain and discomfort.
This condition is commonly caused by ill-fitting footwear, such as shoes with tight toe boxes or high heels. Because of this, mallet toes are typically preventable by wearing properly fitting shoes.
Once a mallet toe develops, it can cause corns and calluses in the area as well as general discomfort. A number of treatment options are available for mallet toes, including:
- Roomier footwear
- Shoe Orthotics
- Stress-relieving pads for shoes
In some cases of inflexible or severe mallet toes, surgical options may be necessary.

Patient Testimonials
Dr. Jackson and his staff were every professional in how they treated me and also helped my painful heels. The custom orthotics they prescribed for me were top of the line and the 3d laser scanner used to fit my orthotics was impressive! I would highly recommend Dr. Brian Jackson and his heel pain center to anyone who has painful heels. My heels hurt for more than a year and my only regret was not coming into his office sooner!
