Capsulitis of the foot is inflammation and pain in the foot and joints, caused mostly by ill-fitting shoes. If you spend a lot of time in shoes that are too tight or do not fit ell, you run the risk of getting this condition. Shoes that are too tight or restrictive or standing for too long can aggravate capsulitis.
Shoes with a narrow tow area may cause the metatarsal head to force into such a limited space. The same holds for wearing high heel shoes where your toes can press to your footwear’s front part or toe box. This is one of the reasons why the barefoot movement is gaining a lot of traction. Shoes that restrict your toes can be detrimental to your foot health.
