[at-l] Morton's Toe, Morton's Neuroma.

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

It was supposedly an expert at an outfitter using a foot measuring thingee
that got me into the shoes that were too long, in the first place.  The
advise was, "Need to fit the heel-to-ball length, not just the overall
length."

What bugs me is that the podiatrists, orthopedic/sport medicine folk, etc.
missed it for years.
