Turf Toe Injuries and Treatment - Specialty Insoles for Turf Toe
Specialty Insoles for Turf Toe
Turf toe is a soft tissue injury of the great toe joint. Turf toe occurs when the great toe is hyperextended (toe towards the shin) resulting in an injury to one or more of the soft tissue structures surrounding the joint. Turf toe can be a debilitating injury and in some cases, the end of an athletic career.
How is turf toe treated? Short and long term care of turf toe focuses on limitation of the range of motion of the great toe with specialty shoe inserts.

Specialty insoles that include a Morton's extension limit the range of motion of the great toe providing comfort, and in many cases act to prevent surgery for hallux limitus and turf toe. Here's a few examples of Myfootshop.com specialty insoles with a Morton's extension:
