Morton's Neuroma Socks: Relief Without Pressure on the Foot
If you suffer from Morton's neuroma, you'll already know that stabbing, almost electric pain in the sole of your foot. Sometimes it feels like you're stepping on an invisible stone. And while footwear is the prime suspect, there's another silent ally that can help more than you think: the right socks.
At Calcetinos, we design our socks with just these types of pain in mind. We know that not everyone can wear just any garment, especially when pain creeps in with every step. That's why we've created socks that provide relief without putting pressure on the foot .
What is Morton's neuroma and why does it hurt so much?
Morton's neuroma is an inflammation of one of the nerves that runs between the metatarsal bones, usually between the third and fourth toes. This inflammation causes a burning, stabbing, or even numb sensation that worsens when walking or wearing tight shoes.
The cause? It usually lies in constant pressure on the forefoot, whether from narrow shoes, high heels, being overweight, or repetitive activities that put stress on this area of the foot.
The problem with many socks: pressure where there shouldn't be any
Most socks, even athletic ones, apply even pressure across the entire foot. But if you have Morton's neuroma, that's exactly what you want to avoid. Compressing the ball of the foot, where the inflamed nerve is located, not only doesn't help, it actually makes the discomfort worse.
Thick seams, poorly breathable fabrics, or socks that bunch up inside the shoe and form annoying creases don't help either. All of these add up to micro-pressures your foot doesn't need.
Socks: compression where it helps, softness where you need it
Our socks are designed with progressive compression that starts at the ankle and decreases toward the calf. And the foot? No compression. Soft. Comfortable. Pressure-free.
This means you can benefit from improved circulation without putting the inflamed area of the forefoot at risk. Plus:
- They have no seams that rub
- They are made with soft and elastic fabrics
- They keep the foot dry, without humidity or excess temperature.
- They are suitable for resting, walking around the house or even sleeping with them.
When to wear socks if you have Morton's neuroma?
The key is to give your feet real rest time. This is where our socks can help:
- At the end of the day, when you take off your shoes
- At night, if the pain bothers you while sleeping
- After physical activities
- In moments of recovery after a medical intervention
We do not replace medical treatment, but we do accompany the recovery and relief process with comfort and textile science.
