Start by wearing different shoes, at least for most part of the day. Wolky has a fantastic range with plenty of choice for your taste! Shoes made of soft, supple leather with a sturdy, flexible outsole is what you are looking for. We recommend that the shoes have a wider nose, which offers enough space around the toe area especially stopping that pinching around the bunion. Try and avoid shoes which have seams and stitching around this area as this can cause further irritation to an already sensitive part. Due to this ‘lump’ you may find that shoes may not close properly, so a higher closing is recommended. Avoid high heeled shoes as much as you can, however beautiful they are. They put extra pressure on the forefoot. Pumps with high heels are not only painful, but they will also aggravate the condition, whilst the right Wolky do the reverse and will make walking less painful.
