wedge shaped feet

[petebowes]

Apologies for the layman's speak here - I'm trying to find the correct medical term for a condition that effects the feet, a condition that is best described as ' wedge shaped feet ' where the big toe and little toe share the same apex and are turned under. Though not to a degree where normal walking is impossible.
Some have described the appearance of such feet as belonging to a person who has worn ballet shoes, or sharp-toed riding boots.
It does not appear to belong to the Metarsus Adductus family of deformities as there is no club-foot or any in-toeing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that, I'm familiar with those ailments, but in this case the toes are not malformed other than they are wedged under the sole - as if they have been bound, though not like the Chinese bound feet.

Hi!
The nearest medical conditions that I can think of against your description are hammertoes or claw toes. In hammer toes the end joint of 2nd, 3rd and 4th toe is bent and in claw toes both first and last joint of the toe is bent. The toe end of the foot thus forms a wedge.  Take care!
