Sabine, I would have to find out if they mail order them. Which Hanwag do you have?I sypmathise with you. Although not the same thing , I have hallux valgus and pes valgus, I can recommend for a hallux the brand Hanwag. They have specific shoes for hallux issues.
Do not know if they are available in your region though.

It does, Lachance. It is caused by arthritis which destroys the cartilage. The podiatrist suggested surgery but I am not ready for that. (It doesn't always work, can make it worse and leave one with a limp or worse.) He also prescribed orthotics but they increase the pain. I am realizing I will have to do shorter distances than others do.Does this condition start with pain in the joint at the bottom of the big toe? Have just started to get this. V frustrating as I have to cut short training walks at about 10 K's when feet get too sore to go on, even though I don't feel at all tired. I was planning to search past posts and there was yours right at the top! Sorry, this is no help to you Imsundaze. But I hope in the usual helpful forum spirit a wealth of info will soon appear.

Take a look at www.vasylimedical.com and read about the Danenberg orthotics. Inexpensive and got sent. They were prescribed to me for plantar fasciitis but were designed for hallus limitus.Anyone else have this (severe arthritis of big toe with cartilage gone) What shoes or boots worked for you. I am doing okay with Saucony peregrine 5 trail runners but they are very light and it is hard to imagine they would work well in mud or heavy rain. I also have some Northface Storm waterproof I got from my son get a hot spot from them in about 5 miles. Would love to hear what worked for anyone else with this condition
Thanks for the advice, Linda. But what is me??Lachance I would get myself a glass of me! Me llamo Linda.
Ugh -- autocorrect? - supposed to be get a glass of WINE!Thanks for the advice, Linda. But what is me??

Don't let the long hair fool you--I'm a guy (the tall one behind my wife in the picture).Interesting that all the posters here are female. How many of us wore shoes that were too tight in our youth? I sure did, having rather large feet and often having to accept a size too small in order to be fashionable. Can't imagine a man ever doing that. Let alone the presumably dire effect on us women of high heels. Maybe that's why there are no blokes joining in here. This thread has been a great wakeup call for me. Big toes just starting to act up after prolonged training walks. Now thanks to all the valuable info here, I can act to limit further damage. So thank you, everyone.
Hmm. I do remember a brief vogue for guys wearing pointy shoes in my youth, but you look far too young for that. I'd exclude you from the survey results on the basis of the bone chip, were it not that it seems bony spurs can be a result of this condition. So I have edited the original comment.Don't let the long hair fool you--I'm a guy (the tall one behind my wife in the picture).

@Angie94 WOMAN! I learned SO much from that video you posted. NOW, I know what I need to do for my Met pain...and just in time before my May/June Camino...Thank You!!!
"...Dr. said to massage and rotate the big toe and pull on it (traction) and then more rotating (around and around in a circle) and more massaging. I have been doing that for a month. I no longer use any inserts or pads or 'fixtures' for my toe..."
Interesting that all BUT ONE OF the posters here are female ...QUOTE]
