What Causes Bunions?

Bunions are a common foot condition that cause discomfort and pain.

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. Bunions are usually caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes, genetics, or underlying medical conditions. Bunions can make it difficult to find comfortable footwear, as the bump can rub against shoes and cause pain.

Finding the Right Shoes for Bunions

When it comes to choosing footwear for bunions, it's important to find shoes that provide enough room for the bunion and do not put pressure on the area. Here are some tips on choosing the right shoes:

Choose shoes with adjustable straps or laces: Shoes with adjustable straps or laces can help to accommodate the bunion and reduce pressure on the area. You can adjust the fit of your Drew shoes to avoid pressure on the bunion and reduce pain.

Look for shoes with a wide toe box: Shoes with a wide toe box provide more room for the bunion and can help alleviate pain. Drew shoes have a wide toe box and provide enough space for your toes to move freely.

Wear shoes with cushioning and support: Drew Shoes come with cushioning that absorbs shock and reduces pressure on the foot, keeping you supported and comfortable for long hours on your feet.

Try orthotic inserts: Orthotic inserts can help to redistribute pressure on the foot and provide support for the arch. Drew shoes are designed with removable footbeds for added depth and to accommodate orthotics—whether over-the-counter or prescribed.

The Right Shoes & The Right Exercise

In addition to choosing great shoes, there are also some exercises and stretches that can help to relieve pain and prevent bunions from getting worse. Here are some exercises and stretches that you can do to help alleviate pain caused by bunions.

Toe stretches: Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Place a towel or resistance band around the ball of your foot and gently pull your toes towards your body. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and repeat on the other foot.

Arch stretches: Stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall for support. Place one foot behind the other and press the back foot down into the floor. You should feel a stretch in the arch of your foot. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and repeat on the other foot.

Toe curls: While standing or sitting, place a towel under your foot and curl your toes to grip the towel. Hold the curl for five seconds and then release. Repeat the curl and release for 10 repetitions on each foot.

The right shoes can help alleviate the pain and discomfort of bunions, but it's important to remember to stretch! Find the perfect pair of Drew to give you the roomy support you need.
