Hammer Toes
Unlike normal toes which sit straight and nice, hammer toes are similar to claws with bends in the center. This makes the muscles contract constantly when you are walking and cause the toes to pull up like a hammer. As a result, one part of your bone would stick out and cause friction. If left untreated for a long time, it would ulcerate and cause excruciating pain. In these cases, surgery might be required to correct. [7]
