2. Morton's neuroma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton's_neuroma

   Morton's neuroma is a benign neuroma of an intermetatarsal plantar nerve, most commonly of the second and third intermetatarsal spaces (between the second/third and third/fourth metatarsal heads; the first is of the big toe), which results in the entrapment of the affected nerve.

3. Metatarsalgia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatarsalgia

   One cause of metatarsalgia is Morton's neuroma. When toes are squeezed together too often and for too long, the nerve that runs between the toes can swell and get thicker. This swelling can make it painful when walking on that foot. High-heeled, tight, or narrow shoes can make pain worse. This is common in runners, particularly of long distance.

4. Mulder's sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulder's_sign

   Mulder's sign is a physical exam finding associated with Morton's neuroma, which may be elicited while the patient is in the supine position on the examination table. The pain of the neuroma, as well as a click, can be produced by squeezing the two metatarsal heads together with one hand, while concomitantly putting pressure on the interdigital space with the other hand.

5. Morton's toe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton's_toe

   Morton's toe is the condition of having a first metatarsal bone that is shorter than the second metatarsal (see diagram). It is a type of brachymetatarsia. [1] This condition is the result of a premature closing of the first metatarsal's growth plate, resulting in a short big toe, giving the second toe the appearance of being long compared to the first toe.

6. Toe box - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_box

   Shoes with a variety of toe boxes. The toe box is the section of footwear that surrounds the toes on closed-toe shoes. [1] Toe boxes that are too tight can cause injuries and foot deformities, whereas wider toe boxes may be used to treat or prevent common foot conditions such as broken toes, [2] [3] bunions, [4] [5] and Morton's neuroma.
