Claw toes is a foot condition where one or more toes bend at the middle joint, resembling a claw. This deformity can affect any toe but is most common in the second, third, and fourth toes. It often results from muscle imbalances, nerve damage, or wearing tight shoes. Symptoms may include pain, discomfort, and difficulty finding properly fitting footwear. Treatment options range from wearing supportive shoes to physical therapy and, in severe cases, surgery. Early intervention can help manage the condition and prevent further complications.
