Best ASICS for Bunion Sufferers

You have a bunion and love ASICS sneakers and shoes; what do you do?  Some ASICs are better than other ASICS when you have a bunion.  But how do you tell which is which?  It really is rather simple when you are looking for ASICS shoes and you have a bunion. There are certain traits that you look for.  You want an ASICS shoe that is wide enough to comfortably fit your bunion. The other trait to take a hard look at is a large toe box.  A toe box needs to have depth and width to allow for a bunion to fit without problems.  What you are really looking for is an ASICS shoe that provides both.

 

ASICS Gel Nimbus–  Here is a good example of a toebox that is ideal for people with bunions. Notice the circular nature of the toe box, that is what you want to pay attention to.  Remember, the more expansive the toe box the less pressure and friction will be placed on the bunion, thus reducing the pain.

ASICS Gel Cumulus–  This shoe checks both the boxes. First the shoe fits to width.  If you have a severe bunion I highly advise you to only look at shoes that fit to width.  That way you can get a larger size.  Also take a long look at the toe box on this sneaker and you will see the depth and width are very apparent.

ASICS Gel Contend– Here again we have a shoe that fits to width with a large toe box.

ASICS GT 1000 GS Wide running shoe–  I mean this shoe actually has “wide” in the name.  You get the idea. I hope this article was helpful.
