The conservative management of foot deformities often requires the use of a modified shoe. A higher toe box is one of the most common variations required when the abnormality is located in region of the forefoot. High toe boxes are available in a variety of footgear, including athletic sneakers, comfort shoes, and prescription footwear. A rational approach to accommodating a deformed forefoot would be to first measure the maximum height of the abnormal toes in a weightbearing position. Then, by referring to a table listing shoes and available toe box space, the physician could match the foot with a shoe. The purpose of this study was to collect and tabulate measurements of toe box height for a variety of shoes. Impressions were taken from various shoes using a moldable plastic material. Toe box height was then measured and recorded. Results were tabulated for various types of men's and women's shoes. The depth of shoes at the point 5 cm from the tip of the toe was about 44 mm for most styles. The sagittal profile (i.e., vertical height available) of extra-depth shoes, comfort shoes, and athletic shoes was similar.
足部畸形的保守治疗通常需要使用改良鞋。当异常位于前足区域时，较高的鞋头箱是最常见的要求之一。各种鞋类都有较高的鞋头箱，包括运动鞋、舒适鞋和定制鞋。适应前足畸形的合理方法是首先测量负重位时异常脚趾的最大高度。然后，通过参考列出鞋子和可用鞋头箱空间的表格，医生可以为脚匹配合适的鞋子。本研究的目的是收集并列表各种鞋子的鞋头箱高度测量值。使用可塑形塑料材料从各种鞋子上获取印记。然后测量并记录鞋头箱高度。结果被制成各种男鞋和女鞋的表格。对于大多数款式，距鞋尖5厘米处的鞋子深度约为44毫米。特深鞋、舒适鞋和运动鞋的矢状轮廓（即可用垂直高度）相似。
