How To Wear Your Favorite Shoes With Bunions
Are you looking to avoid surgery for your bunion? Be sure to watch this video, as I have an essential tip you need to know. A common issue we encounter is that wearing tight shoes can accelerate the progression of bunions. Contrary to popular belief, tighter shoes do not provide extra support. A fascinating study from the UK reveals that overly tight footwear can actually speed up the bony growth associated with bunions.
It’s crucial to remember: when in doubt, opt for a larger shoe size. To check for proper fit, ensure you can pinch a bit of material when the shoe is on your foot. If you’re uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your podiatrist—or me, if you’re a patient here.

Another key aspect of managing bunions is understanding the importance of proper footwear. Choosing shoes with a wide toe box can significantly reduce pressure on the bunion and alleviate discomfort. Avoiding high heels and overly pointed shoes is crucial, as these can exacerbate the condition. Instead, look for supportive shoes that promote proper foot alignment. Regular foot exercises can also help maintain flexibility and strength, potentially slowing the progression of the bunion. If you’re looking for tailored advice and treatment options, don’t hesitate to reach out for a consultation with one of our podiatrists.
