Common symptoms include:

- A burning pain in the ball of your foot that may radiate into your toes.
- Tingling or numbness in your toes.
- When the tender joint area is squeezed, you may hear a click (Mulder's sign).

Custom Orthotics Designed for Morton's Neuroma:
- Metatarsal pad - a triangular shaped padding that sits behind the bases of your toes to help spread the joint capsule and prevent nerve impingement.
- Full length posting - may be necessary if you are walking in an abducted 'duck stance' position or coming off the inside of the greater toe.
- When you come off the inside of the greater toe, it will pinch the joint space - by pushing the toes together and cause nerve impingement.
- Forefoot padding - to reduce the effect of impact forces at the joints of the toes.
- Customized arch support - dissipates pressure throughout the foot and decreases pressure at the forefoot.
- Low profile heel - in order to absorb more shock and pressure at the heel, rather than the forefoot.
- Neutral casting - to align your feet and lower limbs in order to place them in the most optimal position for gait.
