Bunions are painful and if you are a women’s basketball player, bunions can be extremely painful. Finding the correct shoes when you suffer from painful bunions can be difficult. Women’s basketball Shoes tend to be tight and not wide enough to accomodate a bunion on a players foot. What do you look for in a women’s basketball shoe for someone with a painful bunion? It is simple. You need to look for a shoes with a large toe box as well as having the necessary width to accommodate the bunion. Some basketball shoes such as old school Chuck Taylor’s will not hold up to the stress that a bunion will place on the material. So, these basketball shoes listed will be wide enough and have strong enough material to withstand the bunion forces as well as provide maximum comfort to the bunion sufferer.
Here are the Best Women’s Basketball shoes for Bunion suffers, Podiatrist recommended:
Adidas Women’s Court Jam Bounce- This Shoe has the wide toe box we are looking for in a basketball shoe for women with bunions.
Nike Womens ZOOM HYPERFUSE 2011– Normal Nike’s are not known for the bunion accommodation but this shoe has both the toe box area and the width demanded of a bunion sufferer.
Under Armor Women’s Jet Basketball Shoe– Again we have the wide toe box. Another positive to this basketball shoe is the material will be more forgiving of the basketball shoe and not rub the bunions, further inflaming them. An underrated aspect of looking for shoes when you suffer from bunions is the material being used.
Converse Women’s Chuck Taylor All Star Classic– I am not huge on this shoe for actually playing basketball. But if you are looking for sheer comfort and you are a bench warmer then sure, this shoe will be comfortable for bunions.
