As Physical Therapists, we understand more than most that bunions can not only provide pain but, due to the changes in foot position that they can cause, it can make it extremely challenging to find shoes to fit your bunions.
We are foot specialists, and in this article, we will provide recommendations for you on the best shoes for bunions for comfort and from a biomechanical perspective. It’s essential to keep in mind running shoes work just as effectively for walking.

Best Shoes for Bunions
Everyday Shoes for Bunions
Our first recommendation is the New Balance Men’s Fresh Foam X 860 V13 due to its choice of wide fit, ultra-cushioned sole and medial posting.
Having the choice of a wide fit is very important for bunions as it allows for extra space in the toe box allowing the toes to spread while the ultra cushioning acts as a shock absorber.
The medial posting is essential as it helps to control the pronation moments associated with the development of bunions.
Running Shoes for Bunions
Our second recommendation for those with bunions is the Hoka Arahi 6 due to its ultra-wide fit, J-frame stability and rocker sole.
The wide EE fit ensures sufficient space in the toe box for your bunion while providing snug support for a narrower heel.
The J-frame of the Hoka Arahi 6 provides stability to help control pronation forces while the rocker sole helps to ensure a normal toe-off which can make it more comfortable to walk if you have a painful bunion.
