Yes, curled or bent toes with pain or discomfort in shoes can be signs of hammer toes or claw toes. My husband had similar symptoms, including pain around his toes, rubbing inside his shoes, and difficulty wearing some of his usual footwear. He was diagnosed with hammer toe after seeing Dr Yung Shing Wai, who recommended surgery to straighten the affected toe. After the surgery, he found it much easier and more comfortable to wear his shoes and walk around. I would consider him if you are looking for a top foot doctor in Singapore. ☺️
