Bunting friendly sandals

Can anyone suggest any reasonable sandals that they've worn with a bunion? I'm early 50s & my usual are no longer comfortable but i have no clue what might work & not make me feel like I'm in my 80s. Just want something reasonably decent to wear for drinks/casual meals out etc

Sorry I can’t recommend any footwear, but the typo in the title made me laugh.

I have a slight bunion on one foot and have found Hotter Tourist range quite comfortable. I know they’re targeted towards daytime but there is such a range of colours/finishes that some would do for informal evenings, I’m sure.

Try Pavers sandals. Not elegant but they are comfy with bunions.

Mayari style Birkenstocks. I have terrible bunions and they’re so comfy

Samuraipizzacat · 26/06/2025 20:29

Also I’ve never been uncomfortable in anything by Fit Flop and they’re totally worth the money.

I have bunions, I’m 36 and I’d rather go out barefoot than wear Hotter or Pavers, sorry.
New Look wide fit are always a good choice. They nearly all come with the ‘comfort’ sole now too. I’ve just bought these and so far so good. New Look sandals
The straps can be adjusted to the width of your feet too.

I’ve also bought another pair from there and have been wearing them around the house before keeping them and they’re comfy too. They’re sold out now though.
but I’d definitely recommend trying lots from New Look

Definitely these, I also have a terrible bunion but live in these in the summer.

I wear avarca sandals, they come in loads of colours (I have at least half a dozen pairs), and they are really comfy for me and my bunions. I am a bit funny about sandals though, not a fan of too much toe.

Palmairas sell good quality ones, but I get mine dirt cheap from the market whenever I go to Menorca.

I go for sandals with wide straps that cover it completely and line the front part with that stick on moleskin. I've got two pairs of Dune Location but they are chunky. WRT Hotter, I had a look just now, spurred on by another thread and they seem to have a few styles that actually look alright. The Tourist ones have a myriad of colour options.
