With increasing age, the feet often change. The large toe shows more strongly in the direction of the neighboring toes, while the bales become more and more curved.
Especially women know the "ballenzeh" or hallux valgus. It is one of the most common malpositions of the foot. Many people have a hallux valgus, but no or only slight complaints. With others, it leads to pain and pressure.
Appropriate footwear can relieve discomfort. A bale toe can only be corrected by an operation.
