thank you for your valuable advice, I will definitely contact a podiatrist and get their opinion. I agree I don't want to be in pain if I can avoid it.Altra zero drop shoes are known for giving toe a lot of space, but I don’t know if a zero drop shoe is good for people with your condition. Having found out the wrong way while on Camino that I have flat feet and then dvelopped plantar fasciitis on anither Camino, I cannot say enough how important it is to consult with a podiatrist a good 3 months before departure.
Podiastrist can not only make you, or sell you, the proper orthotics, and then adjust them if needed, but they can also advise on the beat shoe. I bring mine a few pairs I think will do, feel comfortable, and she then makes the call on which ones to walk in based on her knowledged.
Being in pain while walking is no fun at all.
Best of luck.
thank you, I hadn't heard of Altra lone peak, I will check them out.I have hallux rigidus and am doing well (considering) with the altra lone peak 3.0. I also tried the Altra lone peak 3.5 but it wasn't as good.
I have a Hallux limitus condition , i suppose I can look forward to the Rigidus bit later
In any case the accepted shoe for cases such as this is the Hoka one range , the extra padding is supposed to mimic the flexing of the toe joint so as to not limit your natural gait .
I persisted with my Merrell Moabs but fitted them with ' Neat Feat ' innersoles made for sufferers of Neuropathy and Diabetes , these are marvelous , the only drawbacks are that they do take up room in the shoe so a larger size is needed and they do contribute to feet becoming warmer than normal .
I own a number of Hoka One One pairs as I buy them when on sale for future use. Be aware that the fit from one model to the next is very different, with many of them being quite narrow. Thankfully the company has come up with a « Wide » version of some of its models but I have yet to be able to find them in the shops.Thanks for the advice Charles, I intend to try out the Hoka one range, I have read that a rocker type shoe is best for hallux rigidus. I have heard that you can delay the onset of hallux rigidus if you have a shoe with good arch support.
I am hoping to walk the Camino in 2018 but I suffer from an arthritic condition called Hallux Rigidus - or rigid big toe. I am fix and healthy but need to find a trekking shoe that will cater for my condition. Basically I need a shoe with a wide toe box and a fairly rigid sole. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have just completed the Camino with hallux rigidus in both feet. Olang hiking shoes, custom orthotics, Nordic Walking poles (essential! You need help when walking down slopes and steps with HR!) - not a single peep from either hallux! Trouble from other spots - tendonitis, blisters - but the big toe joints held up perfectly.I am hoping to walk the Camino in 2018 but I suffer from an arthritic condition called Hallux Rigidus - or rigid big toe.
