Coping With Brachymetatarsia

I have read all of the post about this embarrassment on my right foot and I just want to thank you all for sharing. Now I know that i’m not the only one with these feelings. My mother says that its bad but her feet are perfectly even. I went to california for a week an decided to get bold and buy and wear a pair of 9west flipflops. People stared at my toes like my feet were green with purple pokadots. Now I have only gone so far as to wear peep toe shoes that only show the first two toes.lol. If company comes over my socks go on I dont care how hot it is. On the beach i bury my foot in the sand. growing up i was teased by “friends”about my toes. im am quick draw with the socks now. lol!

no one else in my family has toes like this. I hide my foot at all cost trying on shoes I only expose my left foot which is not so bad almost normal. Now, I know that things could be worst like having no feet at all. I would just love to wear some open toe heals or any heels at all because they hurt within 20mins because the pressure on my foot is not even and im in pain. I would love to wear some flip flops that is a dream of mines or just walking around bearfoot in front of people. I would like to have the surgery but i have heard that it is very, very painful and expensive. And I don’t want to end up worst then this. It already looks like I only have four toes. I wish there were a simpler process than having a rod sticking out of your foot.I really need the surgery.Does anyone have advise or have been bold enough to just go for it and take your socks off.
