Shoes for Moderate Bunion and Insoles?

6 replies

I have some insoles which I put in clarks shoes. (flat feet and one moderate mild/ bunion) However, my bunion which is one one foot is painful at times. I am considering getting new insoles from GP, awaiting appointment. In the meantime are there any shoes that I can buy that will help with the bunion and also I can put in my own insoles? Or are there any shoes with an insole for arch support inside already maybe Ecco?

I’m wondering if maybe dr martens are good for bunion feet. Wearing a bunion protector seems like a good idea. I’m just realising I have bunions and looking at what I can do to minimise worsening.

I think DMs would be terrible for bunions as they the leather is so stiff. Soft leather or soft mesh trainers like Skechers much better.

I was told when lacing trainers to not use the bottom holes so to reduce the pressure on the bunion, seems to work.

I wear trainers a lot, I like Asics. I also got some Legero sneakers for work as they are fairly smart.

The key thing for me is no stitching or seams over the bunion area. I put a half insole in all my shoes.
