Foot for Thought - October 8, 2009

Bunion Tips

Here are some tips to help prevent/deal with painful bunions.

  • Wear comfortable shoes that conform to the shape of your foot.
  • Wear shoes with a wide and deep toe box.
  • Always fit the larger foot and have your feet sized each time you purchase shoes.
  • Apply a commercial, nonmedicated bunion pad around the bony prominence.
  • If your bunion becomes inflamed and painful, apply ice packs several times a day to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid high-heeled shoes over two inches tall.
  • Seek professional podiatric evaluation and assistance with uncomfortable or noticeable bunions.
