Smart shoes with a bunion

6 replies

JamesWebbSpaceTelescope · 03/05/2025 12:11

I have just noticed I’m starting to get bunions, particularly on my left (longer) foot. I usually take a size5 but looking online I should probably be in a 6.

I’m looking for smart, comfy work shoes (I’m a teacher so standing a fair bit). I usually wear dresses and opaque tights with nice brogues. I have a pair from Embassy and also these - which have a narrow toe box and are probably part of the problem. I brought them in a sale but they are still my most expensive pair of shoes ever and I am sad they might have to go - but life is too long to have feet problems.

So I am looking for recommendations for comfy, wide toe box, low heeled, bunion friendly work shoes that aren’t hideously ugly. Or is this an impossible combination?

Fearne - Multi Coloured

A development on long-standing Ladies brogue shoes Freya - Fearne, like Valiant and Victor is cut from high quality unfinished crust leather and hand painted with natural dyes.

Calla and SoleBliss

Sole Bliss.

Definitely Sole Bliss. I have "the family bunion" (my mum, granny and my cousin had/have exactly the same!) and they are the only shoes with a heel that I can wear comfortably for hours. Expensive but worth it I think.
