Bunions
 
Which brand shoes do you wear if you have bunions. Right now I wear runners. Time to buy new shoes and I'm tired of runners. Any suggestions.

I very seldom wear shoes. I stick with Easy Spirit. They have a larger toe box and are very comfortable.

Try Crocs. Not only are they comfy and roomy, but they are also great to wear while quilting at the frame. No knee or back problems, either. Birkenstocks work well, too.

The podiatrist I go to believes in Crocs so much that he sells them in his office. Keens are great!

I wear New Balance ex wide. Lot of room for bunions and toes.

i WORE SNEAKERS. HAD MINE REMOVED, AND WAS WALKING WITHOUT CRUTCHES THE NEXT DAY. Wasn't as bad as everyone said it would be, then again I've had over 25 surgeries, going in for the 10th spinal next week.
get it removed, makes your life easier.

Lynnie, A friend of mine had it done. I didn't see her till 4 months later & she was still on crutches. She was telling everyone not to have it done. Saw her 2 months later and she was saying it's the best thing she had done. Of course I looked at a you tube video & that really convinced me to just wait for laser surgary. Lol.

Try out SAS, they have many kinds of shoes and they are so very comfortable. Also made in USA.

I have one foot that is a 'C' width and the other is an 'EE' so buying shoes was always a nightmare, until I discovered Alegrias. They are made wide and come in wonderful bright colors and interesting prints. I can finally walk with no pain! Dad always said I should throw away the shoes and wear the boxes! Lol!

Sketchers has a new walker that is like wearing socks. Very fashionable too
