WHAT ARE BUNIONS?
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. When some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place, it causes the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out.
There are also smaller bunions that can develop on the joint of your pinky toe; these are called bunionettes.
What Causes Bunions?
- Bunions are often hereditary. People who have flat feet are also more prone to develop them
- They can also develop from a foot injury, foot stress, or even the way you walk
- Ill-fitting shoes that are too tight, high-heeled or too-narrow may also contribute to developing a bunion.
- Other causes can include inflammatory diseases and neuromuscular conditions
Bunion Symptoms
- Bulging bump on the outside of the big toe
- Ongoing pain or pain that comes and goes around the big toe
- Redness and inflammation
- Developing hammertoes
- Callus or corn on the bump or bottom of the foot
- Stiffness and/or limited movement of the big toe
- Difficulty wearing regular shoes
How To Find Shoes For Bunions
If your foot pain starts to interfere with daily activities, it’s important to schedule an appointment with an orthopedic foot specialist to determine if it’s a bunion, or another condition. If a bunion is diagnosed, your doctor will discuss your options with you.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
- Shoes: Change to well-fitting shoes that have wide toe boxes to take pressure off your toes and give them more space.
- Bunion Pads: They can cushion the area and ease pain
- Medication: Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen sodium (Aleve), along with ice packs, can help with the pain and swelling.
- Physical Therapy: Massage, physical therapy and some exercises can help to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Orthotic Devices: Shoe inserts can help to control alignment issues that may be contributing to bunion formation. Other devices like toe spacers and splints can also provide relief.

Buy the Right Size

Pedors for Swollen Feet
One of the common questions that we are often asked is…what is the best type of shoe for swollen feet? Typically, feet tend to swell more as the day progresses so it is essential that the shoes have adjustability. Laces can be adjusted, however most people don’t want the hassle of tying and re-trying shoes several times a day. By far the easiest option is to purchase shoes with adjustable touch closure straps, typically referred to as Velcro straps.
