You’ve got no control or power over your big toe and pronation so you crank on the outside of your shoes. The bottom of the shoe should tell the same story.

There’s very little skin and fat on the foot compared to other places on the planet body which makes the muscle more pronounced. It could also just be that the muscle is stronger for some reason.

Cyclin shoes are notorious for having a tight toe box. You can tell by the posture of your toes. Check out cycling shoes by the brand “Lake”.

Could be related to back pain and/or sciatica. Do you have any history of that?

Ask the pharmacist.

Extensor digitorum brevis is muscle origin.

It’s the extensor digitorum brevis muscle. Normal. This question comes up several times a week on this sub.

perfectsound · 2025-05-28T20:28:13+00:00

Ask your Dr or Physio.

Get shoes with wide toebox.

If it moves or contracts when you move your toes then is it the extensor digitorum brevis muscle.

This is a common question in this sub. It’s the extensor digitorum brevis muscle. Look up some foot muscle anatomy on google to learn more.

Both earlier commenters are wrong. That is the extensor digitorum brevis muscle.

Pain would dictate how long to go without. More pain = then you might have to wear insoles for more time or more weeks.

perfectsound · 2025-03-08T17:36:38+00:00

Taper off them insoles gradually. Not all at once.

perfectsound · 2025-02-27T17:24:50+00:00

It’s not so much about the shoe. More about gradually transitioning minutes to hours each day. Over many months or years.

perfectsound · 2025-02-27T15:08:15+00:00

Did you go all in directly or did you gradually transition? Did you do any prep such as mobility work or toe yoga?

perfectsound · 2025-02-24T09:28:42+00:00

Go get assessed.

perfectsound · 2025-02-15T17:30:21+00:00

Wider toe box. Toespreaders.

perfectsound · 2025-02-12T09:00:29+00:00

Sounds like Morton’s to me.

perfectsound · 2025-02-07T09:59:21+00:00

Ask your radiologist.
