A Bunionette involves the swelling of the small sac on the joint of the little toe. Symptoms include throbbing pain and redness in these specific areas, especially when wearing shoes that are snug.

Although heredity, foot injury, and arthritis are causes of this condition, the most common cause is improper shoe fit, especially tight fitting shoes with pointy toes.

Shoe Recommendations:

Always wear shoes that have ample room in the forefoot. A shoe with a wider forefoot provides extra room, not cramping or squeezing the problem areas. We can also stretch the bunion areas of your shoes.  In addition, look for the following two features:  SL-2 last and Metatarsal padding.

• Running: 1123, 883, 817, 587.
• Walking: 927, WW845, 811, 576.
• Cross-Training: 855.
• Casual: 8000, 830.

Footwear and insole recommendations are not based on scientific evidence, but rather based on biomechanical principles relative to fit, function and need.  These recommendations do not take the place of consulting with your health care professional.
