Hi, I have an interesting foot problem that I'm not sure how to fix. Basically my second toe is longer than my big toe and I have high arches. Because of my high arches I tend to put the most pressure on the insides of my feet when I walk. The problem is that because of this, the fat pad on my second toe on one of my feet has shifted off to the side, so now whenever I put any pressure on my foot the fat pad juts over to the side and touches the toe next to it (my 3rd toe) and it's quite uncomfortable.

So I've been trying to train the fat pad back in the right spot. I tried a tight-fitting bandaid, which didn't seem to help. Then I tried using a popsicle stick taped to the side of my toe to keep the fat pad in place. It work as long as the stick is taped there but the second I take it off the fat pad shifts to the side again. I'm looking for a solution that will be permanent. Any suggestions?
