Do you suffer from bunions? It’s a funny word, but bunions
are no laughing matter. If the joint that connects your big toe to your foot
has a sore, swollen bump, it’s likely a bunion. Maybe you inherited incorrect
foot mechanics from a grandparent, but bunions themselves are not hereditary. Bunions
are most likely caused by tight and constricted footwear. But rest assured
there are some shoes for bunions
available to ease your pain!
Women tend to be bothered with bunions more than men,
because of tight, pointy, high-heeled shoes. So, ladies, those cute heels with
a sloped foot bed and narrow toe box might be great for a Saturday night out,
but try to limit wearing those regularly to avoid potential bunion problems.
Runners can also experience bunion pain. Miles of pounding
pavement and poorly fitting shoes can seriously aggravate bunions. Our very own
Dr. Shoelutions recommends a few different New
Balance shoes for bunions. A great running shoe is the New Balance 1080 with maximum cushioning and forefoot flex grooves that provide extreme
flexibility. If walking is more your speed, try the New Balance 812,
a cornerstone in the walking shoe category, which has a fuller fit and roomy
toe area. Another great option would be the
Pressure Relief Insole with Metatarsal Pad to reduce pressure and friction that
can cause discomfort. One more product that can alleviate pressure on the
bunion joint would be our Gel Toe Spacer.
New Balance shoes for
bunions are recommended not only for those who currently have bunions, but
those roomier toe box styles will work well to prevent bunion development too.
Remember, you probably don’t need a bigger shoe size, but a deeper, wider shoe.
