Wear shoes with a wide toe box and low heels
Use toe pads, cushions, or hammertoe splints
Try toe exercises and stretching regularly
Tape the toe into a straighter position if advised by a clinician
Use orthotic inserts if foot mechanics contribute to the problem
Avoid tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes
Treat corns or calluses with proper foot care
See a podiatrist if pain, stiffness, or deformity worsens
Consider surgery if the toe becomes fixed, painful, or nonresponsive to conservative treatment
