Morton’s Neuroma
Morton’s Neuroma is a painful condition affecting the nerves between the toes — most commonly between the third and fourth toes. When the nerve becomes irritated and thickens, it can feel like there is a pebble or a bump in the shoe, causing sharp or burning pain in the ball of the foot.
Common Symptoms
Burning or sharp pain in the ball of the foot
A feeling like a rock or marble inside the shoe
Tingling or numbness in the toes
Pain that increases with walking or tight footwear
Relief when removing shoes or massaging the foot
What Causes Morton’s Neuroma
Pressure on the nerve from tight or narrow shoes
High arches or flat feet that change foot mechanics
Repetitive high-impact activities
Toe deformities such as bunions or hammer toes
Overloading the forefoot during walking or standing
Over time, the nerve becomes more irritated and symptoms may intensify.
How Support Helps
Supportive insoles help place the forefoot in a healthier position and reduce compression on the affected nerve.
This relieves pain, improves stability, and helps prevent symptoms from progressing.
Recommended Support
Orleans Arches support all four arches of the foot and reduce excess pressure on the ball of the foot, helping protect the nerves between the toes.
Proper Shoes Matter
Shoes with a wide toe box and soft, cushioned forefoot can greatly reduce irritation.
Avoid narrow or pointed toe shapes that compress the forefoot.
