Being a nurse is hard work, being a nurse with a bunion is even harder. Having to stand and walk on your feet everyday for eight to twelve hours can be painful. You do not have the money or the time to have the bunion surgery. So, you have to accommodate your bunion the best you can. One treatment option you might consider is a bunion splint.
Now the shoe for a nurse with a bunion has to be non slip, OSHA compliant. But you need a shoe that is wide enough with a large enough Toe Box to comfortably fit a bunion. Below I have selected a couple shoes that are ideal for nurses with a bunion:
Most Comfortable Shoes for Nurses with Bunions:
If Crocs are not your thing try the Lightweight Nursing Clog– This shoe has both the toe box and width to comfortably fit a bunion. This is similar to crocs except it has a closed heel.
Cherokee Splendid Working Shoes Shoes– They feature unique “Jelly” comfort insoles. The comfort insole makes this one of the more comfortable nursing shoes on the market, as well as having a large toe box with plenty of room for bunion deformities. Consider this shoe if you have a bunion and also have pain under the metatarsals, which is very common.
Sketchers Women Premium-Premix Slip on Sneakers– This shoe is characterized by the large toe box with the width needed to accommodate even the biggest bunion deformity.
Nurse Mates Women’s Lianne Slip On Shoes– This shoe is a slip on that will accomodate your bunion. While the toe box may not be the largest it has an elastic outsole, which will allow the shoe to contour to comfortably fit your bunion deformity.
