How to straighten crooked toes?

Other factors in hammer are the muscular imbalances, which were aggravated with the use of this type of footwear. To avoid worsening the crooked tip, wear shoes that have no space in the toes to accommodate the toes. Shoes should be at least half an inch longer than your longer toe.
