Trying to find shoes for young children with bunions can be difficult. You want to put off the surgery until they are older but you cannot find any shoes that can fit him or her now. Stores rarely, if ever, carry shoes for children with bunions and when they do you may not be able to locate them. The fact is, bunions that effect shoe wear in children is rare. If your child suffers from a bunion such that it effects shoewear, you should consult a Podiatrist.
Now maybe you have and the Podiatrist told you to wait until the child is older to have surgery. Or maybe the Podiatrist made orthotics but that does not solve your shoe issue. Below I have listed a bunch of shoes that are ideal for a child with bunions. All these shoes have one thing in common: they are wide with a large toe box.
New Balance is well known for fitting to the width of a child’s foot. Below I have chosen a different assortment of New Balance shoes to look at and decide upon. Choose what you are looking for. New Balance always fits to width and you can order wider sizes.
Asics Gel Excite GS Running shoe– Not only is this shoe wide it also has a removable sock liner which allows you to easily place a medical or custom orthotic into the shoe. All of the ASIC brands listed below for children here feature a removable sock liner.
Little Blue Lamb Shoes– These shoes will individually fit to your toddler’s foot. If you noticed after clicking and if you want to order the shoe they ask for specific sizes on your toddler. These shoes are great for the pre- schooler who is having issues with his bunion.
As you can see, that is three different companies all offering wide shoes to meet your child’s needs with his bunion issues. I hope this page was of assistance to you.
