In my experience, chronic pain in the forefoot may find benefit from this shoe modification. When patients tell you that they feel better as the shoe stiffness increases, this may be something that a shoe cobbler can add to a more flexible shoe. I find this should take place on both sides, even if the pain is only on one side, as with many shoe or orthotic modifications we make.

Foot and ankle problems are a concern; as well as causing discomfort and pain, they may escalate from a minor problem to a very serious one without timely and appropriate treatment. Little is known about the foot and ankle problems of people experiencing homelessness.
