Wide in the front of the foot. Small heel with cushioning in the bottom. No cure but more comfort.
Hi! My best advised without seeing your foot would be to look for shoes that have a round or square toe box and that are deep. Everyone's foot is different so a specific shoe is difficult to recommend. Make sure the material is soft or if it's a leather type of material, take it to a shoemaker to be stretched. Try shoes on at the end of the day when you would be most swollen for a better fit. I hope this helps!
Best shoes to wear if you have a bunion are flat wide toe boxes and not high heels.
Shoe with wide toe box to accommodate the bunion and made of a soft material such as Lycra. Avoid shoes that have a seam over the bunion. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
The front of any shoe, sandals not include, is called the "toe box". To accommodate your bunion deformity you need to wear shoes that are made of soft materials and are wide enough to avoid friction and/or pressure on the bunion joint. Avoid high heeled shoes which will only put more pressure forward on the bunion and result in more stress on the joint. Comfort is the key. If a particular shoe is not comfortable in the store when you are purchasing the shoes, then it won't get any more comfortable over time.
Hi, What will become immediately obvious to you is that tighter shoes will cause pain. Surgery can fix the bunion and often that will allow you a wider range of style and materials to choose from. Contact my office if you would like to discuss all options. Dr. Liddy
A bunion is not on a toe, so I do not know if you're referring to what an actual bunion is, or if you are talking about a corn/callus on a toe. Either way, you need to find shoes that are roomy enough to stop pressure over the area that is bothering you.
The best shoes will have a wide toe box to accommodate the bony prominence. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options
