One of the most common worries among women with bunions on their feet who are considering bunion surgery is whether they would be able to wear high heels following the procedure. Yes, a majority of cases…and considerably more comfortable than before surgery! The great toe joint is realigned to allow motion and the big toe joint will no longer jam when in high heels.
However, the joint may have degenerated to the point where there is restricted mobility around the joint even after surgery. Several operations are designed to harden the great toe joint and reduce mobility. These circumstances will limit the kind of shoes and heel heights you can wear.
