Bunions are a painful condition of the foot. Finding shoes that can properly fit a bunion is difficult. Finding the right pair of ballet flats to wear with a bunion is very difficult. What should you look for in a ballet flat with a bunion? First off you need strong material, because of the narrowness of most ballet flats the bunion will stretch the area. So you want the material to hold up and not fray. Secondly you want a ballet flat with some width. This is self explanatory, but the wider the ballet flat the less pressure on the bunion. You want to pay attention in particular to the toe box of the ballet flat. A large and wide toe box is what you want in a ballet flat when you have a bunion. Lastly, you want a material that will bend with little issue; a rigid material will just aggravate your bunion. So without further ado, here are some examples of ballet flats for people with bunions.
Naturalizer Women’s Creston Flats– This shoe has the important feature that you can get it in wider sizes. The leather upper will conform to your bunion deformity as well. It also has a cushioned insole and footbed to help take stress off the fore foot. This is the ideal ballet flat for bunion sufferers.
Aerosoles Women’s Beckon Ballet Flat– This is another shoe that fits to the width of your foot as well (almost a must for severe bunion deformities). This shoe also has a padded footbed with a leather liner as well.
Clarks Women’s Kessa Nora Ballet -Again, these shoes fit towards the width of the foot. What sets this shoe apart it is flexible sole. If your bunion is constantly ruining your shoes, this shoe is probably the most durable of the ballet flats on this list.
