Best Shoes For Bunions

Is your biggest concern figuring out a way to be in style for work without the bunion pain? 

You get home from work or a night out, you take off your favorite pair of heels and instantly get a moment of relief after taking them off. While your heels may not have necessarily caused your bunion, they are most definitely not doing your feet any favors. Bunions can create a problem for anyone wearing heels as they tend to create a wider width, cause an increase in width at the front of the foot. It’s really important to find a shoe that fits correctly as ill-fitting shoes can just create more issues if you already have a bunion or they can even cause a bunion to form.
