I went to a New Balance 928 4E shoe, i.e., an extra wide shoe to ensure that my toes are not crunched together. You want a shoe that has very good padding and you need to replace the shoes a little bit more frequently. I was unwilling to have sugary done as there is a chance they'll cut the nerve going to the toes. I did one shot, that did very little to alleviate my discomfort. Over a fairly lengthy period of time, my Morton's neuroma as improved significantly by making the changes I described above. I also wear shoes all the time.
Good luck.

Good tips! The shoes especially like are WIDE width ASICS running shoes (& no I don’t run) I tried a steroid injection too. Pain got better briefly then much worse so never again for me.
My related knee arthritis pain improved a lot after I followed the YouTube El Paso Physical Therapist’s advice to point my toes outward as I walk & when I stand still. Amazing!
