Fashion Boots were not created with bunion sufferers in mind. They tend to be tight and pointy which is less than ideal for a woman with a bunion. However, there are some fashion boots that are better for bunions than others. There are two main traits that you look for in a fashion boot that is ideal for bunion sufferers:
1. Is the fashion boot offered in a larger size? If the boot is offered in a larger size then that would be a positive for the fashion boot comfortably fitting a bunion
2. Large Toe Box- The toe box is the area at the end of the shoe where your toes rest. You want a large toe box that will fit a bunion comfortably.
Below I have listed some suggestions for the best fashion boots for bunion sufferers:
Hunter Original Tour Women Round Toe Synthetic Black Rain Boot-
What you should pay particular attention to on this boot is the large and expansive toe box; this is not pointy. This type of set up is ideal for a bunion sufferer.
UGG Bailey Bow Tall– UGGs are highly recommended for a woman with bunions. They have the added plus that the extra padding in the interior of the Ugg can help comfort a bunion and reduce stress and strain on the area.
Ariat Fatbaby– While the name is not the best, you can see from the construction paticularly in the toe box how it will comfortably fit a bunion with little trouble
Frye Veronica Back Zip– Here is an example of a women’s fashion boot that has a pointy toe that will tolerate a bunion with little to no trouble. It does this by rounding off the tip.
