At Advanced Podiatry , our highly qualified Podiatric Surgeons recommend wearing a shoe that does not rub on the bunion . This usually requires a style that is a little larger and wider in the front of the shoe where your toes are. Shoes with seams on the inside of the big toe area are not a good choice because they will rub against the bunion , causing it to hurt. You may find that a softer shoe, one that gives a little, will be easier to wear than a stiff, leather shoe.
Sometimes it is difficult to find shoes that do not cause pain, and while it may seem like a good idea, padding the area around a bunion only makes it worse. Without proper care and treatment by one of our foot doctors in Manhasset, NY , your bunion will continue to be painful. If you live in the Suffolk County and are suffering from a bunion or foot pain, please give us a call at Advanced Podiatry of Manhasset , so that one of our podiatrists, like Dr. Evan A. Vieira, DPM, AACFAS, can help you get back on your feet, pain free.
