My husband was told that having a specialist cut the tendons in the toes would make them lay flat, but I'm concerned about how it would affect his balance. Has anyone had this done? His toes really hurt and bother him a lot, plus it makes him walk on his tip-toes and causes more leg cramps. He's tried Botox injections, but it didn't last long.

Yes, my podiatrist did that on my left foot. One toe was badly infected with the turn under. I have neuropathy in both feet. My husband exams both feet daily. I do not have any more toes to curled under. I guess it was a success, finding shoes that fit. I found a brand called OrthoShoes. Reasonably priced, great fit, easy to return, and and a unbelievable selections for men and women. I have purchased 5 pairs already. Other than the toe surgeries, I have also had 5 surgeries to repair a broken foot. The shoes feel great. Good luck on your finding a good pair of shoes for your feet. Blessings, love JudyTx 🌹
