Footwear Fit & Friction Analysis
Tapered footwear causes substantial lateral pinch stress on the elongated 2nd digit in Morton's Toe morphology, increasing metatarsalgic friction risk.
Biomechanical Proof Target
Peak pressure: 140.0 kPa under 2nd metatarsal head | M2/M1 ratio: 1.15 | Shoe: tapered
Population Frequency Context
Morton's Toe (Greek Foot) occurs in <25% of the global population. The structural extension of the 2nd metatarsal bone alters normal propulsive heel-to-toe force dispersion, translating ground reaction forces directly onto the 2nd metatarsal head during toe-off.
