In reply to Louise Sheppard. Thanks for the comment, Louise. Did you mean all the sneakers or one in particular?

These are the worst sneakers ever for a neuroma. The soles are very hard, with no cushioning. I could hardly make it half a block. Fortunately, the sneaker store where I bought them is willing to make an exchange, agreeing that it’s not a good sneaker for that condition. They are ordering me the Torin.

In reply to Terre. Hi Terre. Sorry to hear about your condition. Zero drop shoes are great for runners with Morton's Neuroma and I can't see why they can't be great for walking. You just have to transition to them slowly if your feet are not used to walking in zero drop shoes.

I am a walker, not a runner, with a left foot Morton’s neuroma. I do about 20 miles a week on both trails and sidewalk. Various running shoe stores have recommending running shoes instead of walking shoes and I’ve been wearing Brooks. I’m wondering if a zero drop shoe is also the best choice for walking.

In reply to Betsy Hayes. Glad you've checked out our post. So sorry to hear about your foot conditions but at the same time congratulate you on your 3 marathons and 9 half marathons, that's impressive. I think the Altra Torin 4 would be a nice option to consider. This runner from Amazon finds these shoes to be so comfortable for high arches and Morton's neuroma. Plus, the shoe's zero-drop platform places much less stress on the forefoot, which is great for forefoot issues like arthritis. However, if you've never run in a zero-drop shoe, I recommend you transition to the Altra slowly. Hope this helps

I just found out I have an anterior cavus higher arch, with some midfoot arthritis.
Morton’s Neuroma (Intermetatarsal Neuroma) and Morton’s toe.

I’m almost 55, and between the age of 30-53, I’ve run 3 marathons and about 9 half-marathons. Thought I’m done with running full marathon’s, I’d still like to be able to run a half-marathon each year. What would you suggest for a running shoe. I would really appreciate the recommendation with so many options out there.

Thanks you.

Hello,

Great extra tip and thank you for sharing 🙂

I recall experiencing a bout of Morton’s Neuroma when my Rheumatoid Arthritis was active and my shoes were too tight in the forefoot.
Usually, when this happens you take off your shoe and shake out the offending object. But when you suffer from Morton’s neuroma, the feeling can never go away and cause you extreme pain in your everyday life. However, with certain types of footwear, the neuroma can be lifted to thte point of relieving the pressure and cause the pain to subside, and the nerves to heal. That is why it is imperative for anyone who is or might suffer from Morton’s neuroma to have the proper footwear to help them deal with the pain of having the neuroma.

Again ,thanks and keep up the good work ,its very helpful.

In reply to LISA HOUSLEY. Hi, Lisa. Thanks for the comment. I'm going to recommend the Brooks Ghost 12. It does have a wide toe box for your toes to splay naturally, it has great underfoot cushioning for the ball of your feet and it's a great option for high arches. I hope that helps.

In reply to K.. Hi K. That is a hard shoe to find, but I guess I have the right running shoes for you. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18 is the best shoe that I found great for narrow feet, high arches, Morton's Neuroma and Metatarsalgia.

What are the BEST RUNNING AND OR WALKING SHOES for a Woman with very Narrow Feet with a High Arch; who also has Morton’s Toe and tends to get Metatarsal pain?
* I have found ‘some’ lists of Nice shoes that have recommendations for Either Narrow Shoes OR Morton’s Toe/ Metatarsal Pain but not BOTH.
**UNDER $100 would be very nice to find 🙂
Thank you!!

Im pretty sure I have Morton’s neuroma in my left foot. It just started this January during a 50k where I wore the Brooks Cascadia and has plagued me through another 50k, a full and a 40 miler (that was the worst!). In a road shoe I wear the Brooks Ravenna. Before the Cascadia I wore a Mizuno Wave Kazan on the trails, but blew out of the toes quickly and it didn’t feel very protective against smaller rocks. Today I did a trail run in a pair of Saucony Xodus which has a lot more cushion, but that discomfort was still there unless I was flying down a hill. What trail shoe do you recommend. Help! I don’t want to give up my long trail OR road runs!!!

Hi, Patty,
I’m sorry to hear that. Are you looking for a running shoe, walking shoe, dress shoe …, you got the point?

I am 79 years old. Very active, reasonable healthy other than old age aches and pain. I have Morton’s Neuroma, right foot. Miserable. Awful pain that wakes me during night. Only relief is ice. Have had steroid injections and even the alcohol injections which seemed to worsen the pain. Need advice on the shoe that would best help with this problem. Surgery is not an option for me.
