Wolky now features a range of styles designed specifically for people with bunions (hallux valgus). What makes these bunion-friendly shoes special is the extra room at the big toe joint. This gives your foot more freedom and prevents pinching while providing the right support at all other points.
Oh, that pesky bump! Many people suffer from bunions, in other words, the annoying bump at the base of the big toe. The exact cause of this bump isn’t fully understood (yet), but we do know that significantly more women than men experience it. The likelihood of developing bunions increases with age. It can also be hereditary. Wearing ill-fitting, narrow shoes (especially those with heels!) increases the risk. Classic pumps, for instance, with their high heels and pointed toes, force body weight onto the ball of the foot. The big toe pushes inward, which results in a bunion.
Good to know: a bunion may not necessarily be a serious problem. Some women live with bunions for years without feeling any discomfort. But it can become troublesome, especially as it worsens.
The solution for bunions (also known as hallux valgus)? Good shoes! Unfortunately, a bunion won’t disappear on its own. The only remedy is surgery, though outcomes aren’t always guaranteed. A straightforward way to alleviate symptoms is by wearing proper shoes.
When dealing with hallux valgus, it’s crucial to wear shoes that provide ample space around the bunion and toes. This prevents pressure and helps avoid worsening the condition. As a rule of thumb, maintain a thumb’s width of space between your foot and the front of the shoe. Additionally, ensure your shoes fit well and don’t pinch, especially around the bunion. Thirdly, opt for footwear that supports your feet adequately throughout the day. These tips are essential not just for shoes for bunions, but for any footwear to ensure your feet stay healthy.
The right kind of footwear is crucial to ensure comfort for women with bunions. Lucky for you, all of Wolky’s shoes are made for walking, even our shoes for bunions – after all, it is our slogan.

At Wolky, our shoes are designed to support your feet over the long term. We avoid shoes with pointed fronts and keep heel heights moderate to reduce forefoot pressure.

These shoes give you more room around the bump, while maintaining a natural fit elsewhere. Our collection includes lace-up boots for bunions, comfortable pumps with extra room for bunions, and special trainers for bunions.
If you have bunions, you might instinctively look for wide shoes to avoid pinching around the bunion. However, this isn’t always the solution. If your feet aren’t naturally wide but you have bunions, excessively wide shoes may lack proper support, potentially causing blisters and fatigue. Specialized shoes for bunions reduce these risks by offering extra width only where needed, maintaining their natural shape elsewhere.

Like we said before, high heels are not great for your feet, especially if you have bunions. High heels add extra pressure to your forefeet, which can worsen your bunions. Not wearing high heels is the best option for your feet. However, at Wolky we understand that sometimes you want to look cute with a pair of high heels. Best believe we’ve thought of that! Our Mayu F2F is a comfortable pump that is made with our Fit2Feet system. What is this F2F? Well, this method means that the pump stretches where your feet need it – thus, at the spot of your bunion. This way, you can wear high heels for bunions, without feeling uncomfortable. We have many more heeled shoes for bunions in our collection, mostly boots. These heeled shoes for bunions are comfortable to wear, all day long.
You may have already seen the letters 'HV' and 'F2F' behind the names of our shoes. Well, these aren't just any letters! 'HV' stands for – you guessed it – hallux valgus (also known as bunions). These shoes have extra space on the inside of the shoe, exactly where your bunion is. The shoes are made on a special last. This creates extra space at the site of the lump. You don't see anything on the outside, but on the inside it's an entirely different story. Give them a try to find out how nice our HV shoes are for your feet. And what about F2F? F2F stands for 'fit2feet'. This is a patented method from Wolky that works according to a three-layer principle. Our F2F shoes consist of three types of materials – stretch and regular leather. We made a recess in the middle layer. This allows the shoe to stretch where you need it. The rest of the shoe? It just keeps its shape! Curious? View all our F2F shoes here.
