Two of the main causes of splay feet are being overweight or wearing unsuitable footwear. In the case of extra weight, feet have to carry a load that is beyond their capacities, which may result in the condition of splay feet.
How do I stop my toes from separating?
This may include:
- Strapping the toes (we use a special cross strap for plantar plate tears)
- Padding to temporarily alleviate pressure from the affected toes.
- Orthotics to correct any biomechanical or alignment issues that may have contributed to the tear, as well as off-loading the painful structures.
Why do my toes go outwards?
Out-toeing, or being duck-footed, is a condition marked by feet that point outward instead of straight ahead. It's most common in toddlers and young children, who typically outgrow it by age 8. Adults can also become duck-footed as the result of a sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, injury, or other causes.
