[header] How to avoid getting bunions [title] Avoid narrow shoes. [step] The vast majority of bunions occur in women who wear shoes that are too narrow for their feet. Narrow shoes crowd the toes and significantly increase your risk of developing bunions.
Changing to shoes that have wider toe boxes, better arch support and conform to the shape of your feet can certainly help prevent bunions (if not completely stop their progression), but it won't correct an already established bunion. Think in terms of prevention, not correction.
