Many persons with severe bunions on their feet have difficulty wearing shoes. In their preferred shoes, the bump on the side of their foot at the great toe joint takes the pressure and becomes unpleasant.
A shoe with a broader forefoot and a narrower heel is suitable for someone with a painful bunion. Unfortunately, such a sneaker is hard to come by. Some pads, such as Dr. Jill’s Gel Bunion Cushions, can assist relieve pressure, but for others, it may merely make the shoe tighter.
The most comfortable shoes to wear with a bunion are those that are most comfy. Your best bet may be a tennis shoe that is the biggest you can comfortably wear on your foot or a dress shoe that doesn’t put too much strain on your bunion. When you start to run out of shoe options, it’s time to think about surgery.
