Yes, shoes can help with hammer toes. The right shoes can provide support and prevent the toes from becoming more crooked.

There are a few things to look for when choosing shoes for hammer toes:

• A wide toe box that gives your toes plenty of room to spread out.
• Good arch support that distributes your weight evenly and prevent your toes from becoming too stressed.
• A cushioned sole that absorbs shock and protects your feet from the impact of walking and running.
• A flexible sole that allows your toes to move naturally.
• A low heel, as high heels can put extra stress on your toes and make hammer toes worse.

Here are some things you can try: Choose shoes with stretchable uppers that conform to the shape of the foot and ease pressure on hammer toes. Wear a toe separator, a small, plastic device that is placed between your toes. It can help to keep your toes from rubbing together and becoming more crooked. Take breaks when you are on your feet for long periods of time to reduce pain and inflammation.

The development of hammer toes is a complex process influenced by various factors, including genetics, foot structure and footwear choices. While flip flops alone may not be the sole cause of hammer toes, their lack of support can contribute to the progression of the condition. Additionally, when walking in flip flops the toes often grip the shoe to keep it in place, straining the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the toes, which may contribute to the development of hammer toes.
