Thank you for this. I too have a bunion and want to keep my feet in as best shape as possible. I’ve been searching for casual shoes to wear to accommodate bunions. Do you have a preference for shoes to wear ? Suggestion?

So very glad to hear this. I will pass this on to Sue Lynn. We'll have an answer for you asap. Thank you for watching!

Sue Lynn just replied, Elise!
She'll take it from here...
GREAT question! Shoes are a real challenge with bunions. While I don't think any shoe can heal the condition, you can certainly choose shoes that will do no further harm. From experience, my tips would be:
Always try the shoes on and walk several paces to see if there are any seams or pressure points that aggravate the bunion. Even the slightest pressure or irritation to the bunion will aggravate and worsen the condition, and you can't spot this without trying the shoe on.
Look for wider widths with round or "square" toes to minimize compression, and give the bunion safe space.
Avoid high heels to avoid putting too much pressure on the bunion. For dressy occasions, platforms can work well, giving height and glamour without the exaggerated angle that overloads the bunion.
I have had good luck with the following brands:
Naot brand shoes and especially sandals are good quality, and generally have a nice wide foot bed. I always still try on because their desire for style often means designs that irritate my bunion.
Crocs brand shoes and sandals are good for casual shoes because the material is very giving and non irritating, and most designs tends to be a generous width.
Columbia and Salomon have been great for hikers.

Elise, I forgot to mention good shoe stores to try. if you are in the Toronto area, two shoe stores with a good shoe selection that work with my bunion are Walking on a Cloud, and Corso Shoes.
