What do you look for in a trail running shoe that is effective for people with bunions? You want a shoe that is wide and has a large toe box. Having width and a large toe box will take stress off the bunion formation. By removing pressure it will remove the friction that is caused by the shoe rubbing against the bunion causing inflammation of the bursa there. Below I have written what I believe are the best trail running shoes for people with bunions:
ASICS Gel Venture– This shoe has two ideal components for a shoe for people with bunions. The Gel Venture comes in two sizes of width as well as having a large and wide toe box. One of the things you want to do is examine the toe box area of the shoes that you are considering buying and look at how this shoe’s toe box is large and not narrow.
Salomon Speed Cross Trail Running Shoe– Again look at the large size of the toe box present on this shoe. This roomy toe box provides ample space for your bunion deformity.
New Balance 510 Trail Running Shoe– New Balance is a shoe renowned for the width of their shoes. They fit their shoes to the individual width of your foot.. This New Balance Trail Running shoe also has a large toe box compared to the other New Balance Trail Running Shoes.
