Being a waitress is hard work. Being a waitress with a bunion is even harder. Having to stand and walk on your feet everyday for eight to twelve hours can be painful. You do not have the money or the time to have the bunion surgery. So, you have to accomodate your bunion the best you can. One treatment option you might consider is a bunion splint.
Now the shoe for a waitress with a bunion has to be non slip, OSHA compliant. But you need a shoe that is wide enough and with enough Toe Box to comfortably fit a bunion. Below I have selected a couple shoes that are ideal for a waitress with a bunion:
Most Comfortable Shoes for Waitresses with Bunions:
Sketchers Women’s Clog-If you are looking for a Croc like shoe for your bunion this may be your best possiblity. It has a large Toe Box area as well as a removable insole. So if you have an orthotic you wear or a bunion splint you wear, there should be enough room in the shoe.
Womens Liv ST Work Boots-If your bunion hurts when you bend the toe up and down this is the shoe for you. It has the wide toe box and features a rocker bottom. Many bunions get a resultant arthritis. The rocker bottom takes stress off the joint. If your bunion hurts when you flex it up or down this is one of the better shoe types you can buy.
Skidbuster Footwear Womens 5055-This shoe features a wide forefoot with a removable EVA sockliner, giving you the room for a bunion splint if you desire.
New Balance Women’s WW577– As always New Balance is the shoe company that specializes in wide shoes for the imperfect foot. This company fits the shoe based on the width of a patients foot. This makes it ideal for the waitress with a large bunion deformity who is just unable to find shoes that fit.
New Balance Womens WID526– Another New Balance to look at for the same reasons mentioned above. When you have a bunion New Balance really is a go to shoe due to its width and toe box. It is by far the most recommended shoes by Podiatrists for people with bunions.
