We have over the counter arch supports and custom molded orthotics which helps reduce the pain associated with bunions. This helps take the pressure off the site of the bunions which is generally what causes pain. The best arch support for bunions will have good shock absorption, control pronation, and evenly distribute pressure across the foot. We also carry shoes with cushioned soles that reduce the impact on your feet which reduces the stress on your bunions. Additionally it is very important that shoes for bunions have removable insoles to accommodate orthotics. Many of the supportive shoes and sandals we carry have great support which limits pronation and can help prevent bunions. We carry a wide variety of shoes and sandals for bunions. If over-pronation is the root cause, orthotics will still be necessary. It is important to note however, that when bunions are severe and require surgery, the bunion can be corrected, but will develop again unless the root cause of over-pronation is corrected. Orthotics will not cause the physical deformity to regress, but will simply arrest any further progression and likely stop the pain. If the problem is the over-pronation, the patient should be fitted with orthotics and can expect a slow recovery from pain over a period of months. Footwear selection should have a wide and roomy toebox to accommodate the full width of the foot. Patients should immediately cease using improperly fitted shoes.
