Insoles for
Hallux Limitus
Big Toe Joint Pain
If you went to see a biomechanics specialist podiatrist with big toe joint pain, you would almost certainly be diagnosed as having a common complaint called Hallux Limitus, a condition that is characterised by pain and stiffness in the joint of the big toe when walking and (very often) a bony enlargement or bump on top of the joint.
​
Over-pronation (flattening of your foot during gait) dramatically reduces the range of motion of this joint, meaning that it cannot disperse pressure effectively, thus resulting in wear and tear of the cartilage.
​
Arch support insoles are routinely prescribed to great effect by podiatrists when treating big toe joint pain as they restore the function of the joint (the first metatarsophalangeal).
​
If left untreated, this condition can progress to become Hallux Rigidus where the joint loses all ability to function.
​
The following arch-support insoles for Hallux Limitus are from our clinical range which is in use throughout the UK podiatry profession.
Soft, non-supportive insoles will be ineffective.
You can try any of these with confidence.
