Can I develop hammertoes from having high arches in my feet?

It is indeed possible for hammer toes to develop in feet with high arches, which is related to the extensor tendons of the foot pulling downwards on the foot. Unsupportive shoes with narrow toe boxes or shoes that are too small, can lead to the development of hammer toes. Stretching the calf muscle and muscles on the underside of the foot is helpful in managing this condition, alongside custom insoles to support the arches throughout the day. Consult with a medical doctor regarding this if considerable pain and reduced mobility is experienced.
