Helping the shoes bend where you do.
Sometimes, when someone has a foot that is a half or whole size smaller and the shoe doesn't bend where their 1st MTP joint bends, you have to perform shoe surgery. Rather than throwing a pair of shoes away because its causing pain at the joint (and you have ruled out all other causes and this is the only pair of shoes that bothers them), sacrifice a few hundred miles on the newer shoes and make it bend where your client bends.
