What do you look for in choosing the best clogs for people with bunions? Is it really as simple as looking for the widest shoe? Essentially, yes you want a shoe that has width, that will comfortably fit a bunion. Other traits to look for are clogs made of leather that will stretch and contour around the bunion instead of place pressure on the bunion. You also want a large toe box so as to relieve pressure on the bunion. Below I have listed what I believe to be the best clogs for bunion sufferers:
Dansko’s Wide Professional Clog– The reason this shoe is listed is in the name, wide. An added bonus is a large toe box as well as leather which will stretch to contour to the bunion and avoid placing pressure on your bunion. Remember, the pain from a bunion comes from friction of the shoe rubbing against the bunion, irritating the bursa.
Softwalk Murietta Clog– This clog can be purchased in different sizes of width allowing you to choose the size that will best fit your bunion. Other advantages are the toe box and being made of leather as well.
Clark Azlyn Dream Clog– This clog fits to width as well and is made of leather (noticing a pattern). Again, you have an expanisve toe box to accomodate even the worst bunion deformity.
Easy Street Target Slip On– This is a less expensive version of the clogs listed above.
