Insoles for Bunions | Shop-Bought vs. Custom Orthotics
While store-bought insoles can offer cushioning and short-term pain relief for bunions, often the do not address the underlying biomechanical issues that cause bunions. Most store-bought insoles lose their effectiveness within 6-8 weeks, whereas custom insoles for bunions can last up to 2-3 years, providing long-term relief and addressing the root cause of your pain.
Do Custom Insoles Cure Bunions?
Custom orthotics can help manage bunion symptoms by addressing biomechanical traits in your gait. While orthotics do not reverse the joint changes caused by bunions, they can significantly reduce pain levels and slow further progression of the deformity. Surgery, such as a bunionectomy, is typically only recommended as a last resort.

FAQs About Orthotics for Bunions
Can Orthotics Help with Bunions?
Yes, custom orthotics can help by offloading pressure on the big toe joint, reducing pain and discomfort. While they won’t correct the structural changes, they can slow the progression of bunions and help prevent further deterioration.
Can You Realign Bunions Without Surgery?
No, it is not possible to realign bunions without surgery. Custom orthotics and supportive footwear can help manage symptoms and slow further changes, but they will not reverse existing alignment issues.
Can Bunions Grow Back After Surgery?
Yes, if the underlying biomechanical issues that caused the bunion are not addressed, it can return even after surgery. To prevent recurrence, it’s essential to follow a post-surgery management plan that includes strengthening exercises and appropriate footwear.
