Big toe and second toe separted? There is a small space between them as if permanently wedged from wearing flip flops often.

I know a number of you recommended going to the doctor but I am trying to avoid going to one. I know it's best going to one and I am not trying to replace a pair of comfortable footwear to a care of a doc. I'm trying to prevent the pain from being severe so that I would definitely NEED to go to one. Ever since I stopped jogging and started wearing my mom's crocs in the home (one size too big for my feet), I've had much less pain. I know the importance of a doctor's care just that I'm paying for my mom's dental work at the moment. My friend podiatrist's recommended Birkenstock, so I was just wondering if I should wear one now so I won't have to visit one in the future.

Thanks for everyone's input! Now I have more brands I can check out for comfortable footwear. Btw, I like crocs and Born. Oh well, I guess I have to lay off those high heels.
