With a Haglund's exostosis, you have symptoms at the level of the attachment of the Achilles tendon. Pressure on the bone can cause this bone to thicken, creating a protrusion (exostosis).

With ankle instability, you have the feeling of sinking through your foot. This feeling can occur during sports activities but can also occur in everyday life. Abnormalities in the ankle or a (frequent) injury that has not healed properly can damage cartilage and cause instability.

Hallux valgus is a condition in which the big toe (hallux) stands inward (valgus). This occurs in part because ligaments are too flexible, mostly in women. The condition can be congenital (familial) or arises from frequently wearing narrow shoes. Hallux valgus is also more common in people who have flat feet.

A hammertoe or claw toe is a bent position of the toe, often the second or third toe, which eventually creates pressure and friction against the footwear.
