While this condition usually affects physically active people, it can also be caused by footwear that doesn’t fit properly or is of low quality.
Metatarsalgia develops primarily from high impact on your feet through activities such as jumping or running.
You should contact us about having a foot scan/dynamic gait analysis to see if you require custom orthotics. Especially, if you run or are physically active and experiencing symptoms of Metatarsalgia.
