(HealthDay News) — Fashion can be stylish without being uncomfortable. Shoes that are too tight can actually injure your feet.

The American Podiatric Medical Association says tight shoes can lead to development of:

• A bunion.
• Corns.
• A hammer toe, in which the middle toe joint curls.
• Crossover toe, in which the second or third toe crosses over the next toe.
• An ingrown toenail.
• Sores, especially among people with diabetes who have foot nerve damage.
