(Click on each condition for more information)
A common foot problem associated with the pain, swelling, and/or inflammation of a nerve, usually at the ball of the foot between the third and fourth toes. This condition often occurs when significant pressure is placed on your forefoot while walking, standing, jumping, or sprinting, causing the bones in your foot to squeeze a nerve between the third and fourth metatarsal heads. Shoes with pointed toes and/or high heels can also lead to a neuroma.

Wearing shoes with a high and wide toe box, like Z-CoiL® shoes, is important for relieving neuroma pain. Z-CoiL® shoes also feature nearly an inch of soft, resilient neoprene-like cushioning at the forefoot, plus a rocker-bottom sole which helps to propel you quickly over the painful areas of the forefoot. Trained and authorized Z-CoiL® fitters can also add special padding around the neuroma to relieve pressure at the site.
