When looking for Birkenstock sandals for bunion sufferers, you want to get Birkenstocks that will not place pressure on the bunion area. Birkenstocks that place pressure on the bunion area will cause the bursa to inflame which causes the pain to be magnified. Below I have listed what I believe to be the best Birkenstock sandals for bunion sufferers:
Birkenstock Thong Sandals– These come in different brands and themes, but they all have one thing in common: they place no pressure at all on the bunion area. Because no strap overhangs the bunion, this will lead to reduced pain and discomfort.
Birkenstock Florida Sandal– Based on the same ideal is the thong sandal; no pressure on the bunion equals reduced pain in the bunion area.
Birkenstock Milano Sandal– If you do not want to wear a sandal in the thong style, but want one with the double or triple strap style, I like the Milano sandal as the strap tends to be more comforting. The straps tend to be larger and stretch more for a bunion deformity.
By the way if you suffer from severe bunions, and want a Birkenstock type look consider these sandals below. They were created with a severe bunion deformity in mind.
