Women's Shoes for Hammer Toes

(20.1k)

Struggle with hammer toes? This page is for you. A hammer toe is an abnormal bend in the middle joint of your toe, while mallet toe refers to the same problem in the joint closest to your toenail. Hammer toes can cause painful swelling and irritation, and tight shoes only create more problems.

The best women’s shoes for hammer toes give you plenty of room in the toe box to avoid abrasions and other irritations, while giving you ample support and cushion to help your body heal.

Features and Benefits of Women's Shoes for Hammer Toes


Women’s hammer toe shoes should feature a low or flat heel, and plenty of room in the toe box—so steer clear of high heels. The bend in a hammer toe can cause your foot to take up more space inside of a shoe, which leads to friction that can cause pain and blisters.

More space in the toe box not only spares your feet from this pressure, but also helps your body heal and recover from this common foot abnormality. In fact, wide toe boxes are a crucial feature in women’s shoes for bunions and hammertoes alike.

You’ll also want ample arch support and plenty of cushion, like you get with KURUs. Proper cushion and support can relieve pressure and guide you back to a more natural gait, all of which can help alleviate hammer toe issues.

Most comfortable shoe!

I love the look and feel of these shoes. I ordered 1/2 size up and with thin/summer cotton socks they fit nicely. Toes and heels are happy."

Gail M.

Awesome, comfortable from the first wearing

I love both pairs of shoes that I have gotten from KURU. I have bunions, hammer toes , I need a wide toe box as my joints stick up. With these shoes the toe box is wide and yet they do not slip on my heel as other shoes have done. I play pickle ball in one pair and they fully support my foot with the utmost comfort and stability. I have another pair that I wear as regular sneakers for outside and walking etc. Comfort I have never known before with any other shoe. Love them."

Comfortable Again

I've had planter fasciitis and have hammer toes. I've been limping around for the last few days because of the corn caused by the hammer toes. I put these shoes on this morning and voila, no more pain at all!! Comfy, comfy, comfy!"

No pain in my toes!

I’ve worn these shoes several times over the past few days. I’ve not experienced pain in the ball of my foot or toes walking or running in theses shoes. I ordered my usual size 8 and they fit perfect. I bought them in lavender and I like the way they look for spring."

So comfortable!

These shoes are so comfortable on my feet, they don't even need a break in period. I have a hammer toe on each foot and it can be in pain with the wrong shoes. These are the right shoes!"
