If the discomfort mainly affects the metatarsophalangeal joints of the second to fifth toes, and if dorsiflexion—or the upward bending—of these toes across the foot's ball is painful, then a full-width insole design is recommended.

This approach is particularly beneficial for conditions such as turf toe and Freiberg’s disease.

If the primary symptoms occur at the first metatarsophalangeal joint (the joint of the big toe), either insole design could work. However, the Morton’s extension design provides better movement for the lateral or smaller toe joints compared to the full-width design.

This makes the Morton’s extension particularly effective for managing conditions like osteoarthritis in the big toe joint (hallux rigidus / hallux limitus).
