Hallux Rigidus is a very common condition affecting the big toe. The toe becomes stiff, making flexing or extending it fully difficult. This is sometimes pain-free but can often be painful. Finding the right footwear can make symptoms much less severe or resolve them completely, facilitating better biomechanics when walking and running.
