Best Boots for Women with Bunions – Deep, Extra Wide, and with a Round Toe-Box!

Are you having a hard time finding the right boots to accommodate your bunions? Finding a pair of boots to accommodate your bunions can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience, especially if you don’t know what boot styles to look for. The good news is that I know exactly which boot styles will fit a woman with bunions better since I have fitted them before.

Moreover, you should be aware that wearing tight, narrow boots might be the reason for having bunions or the reason they worsen. Bunions also can develop as a result of an inherited structural defect, repeated stress on your foot or a medical condition, such as arthritis. So, if you already have bunions, then you should be extra careful and make sure you are wearing the correct type of boot.

What is a Bunion?

Allow me clarify what a bunion is. It’s a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big or little toe. It forms when your big toe/little toe pushes against your next toe, forcing the joint of your big toe/little toe to get bigger and stick out. Sometimes, the skin over the bunion might be a little bit red and/or sore. Below is an image of how a bunion looks like:

As you may know, bunions can cause a great deal of discomfort and pain. They can also create difficulty in walking and promote an abnormal walking gait, especially when wearing boots that are too short or too narrow.

Look for Extra Depth in Your Boots

Deep boots that come with a round toe-box are the most effective ones when it comes to preventing and treating bunions. When you fit your feet in a pair of deep boots, the feet will fit deeply inside the boots, and this will prevent the feet from rubbing against the top or the sides of the boots. A boot with a round toe-box will prevent your small toe or the bunion from being cramped against the boot.

The issue is…How can you identify which boots are deeper than others when boots don’t come labeled as “deep” or with a “round toe-box”?

Keep in mind that even though bunions most of the times do not require medical treatment, you should see your doctor or physical therapist if you have persisting big toe/little toe or foot pain and/or decreased movement of your toe or foot, or any other symptom that might be concerning.

I am going to show you a selection of the best boots for women with bunions, but first I want to make sure you know your exact foot size and the features that these boots have to offer.

Find Out Your Correct Shoe Size

In addition, if you prefer online shopping and are going to be buying your shoes online, you need to be absolutely sure that you know your correct foot size.

I wrote an article that describes the simplest yet most effective way to figure out your foot size from home. Please click on the link below:

The Key Features of Your Boots – Accommodate your Bunions!

Choosing the right type of boots is surely not an easy task since they all come in different sizes, styles and features. There are two specific key features that your boots must provide to effectively accommodate your bunions:

1️⃣ Extra Depth: This feature allows your feet to fit deeply inside the shoes and prevent the bunion from rubbing against the top part or side of the shoes.

2️⃣ Rounded Toe-Boxes: This feature helps prevent your toes from overlapping or rubbing against one another or the bunion from being pressed against the side of the shoes.

The following are also other important features that your boots must provide:

• Supportive and Substantial Soles

• Flexible

• Lightweight

• Breathable Materials

Nonetheless, please remember that it doesn’t matter how many features a particular boot style provides, if it’s not fitted properly, you will not get any of the benefits that the boots have to offer. What’s even worse, you might end up creating all sorts of foot issues to your feet such as blisters, calluses, and corns.

The boots I will describe below are made of soft leathers, since that material is better at accommodating bunions as excess pressure over the bunion causes more friction, accentuates the bunion, and encourages local inflammation.

Also keep in mind that the higher the heel of the boots, the more pressure the boots will put on your bunion.

I only review boot styles that I have fitted before since that is the only way for me to tell how well-made the boots are, the amount of support that they provide, and how they fit.

Below you can find a selection of the best boots for women with bunions. These boots are available in wide (W) and extra wide (XW) widths so make sure that you order your correct foot width. Disclosure: Some links in this post may be affiliate links and we may receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you) when you click our links and make purchases. 

Keep in consideration that boots can run short, long, narrow, or wide, and depending on how they run you will need to adjust the size that you get for yourself.

You always want to wear half a size longer than the size that you measure in the shoe measuring scale to prevent your toes from rubbing against the side or the front of the boots.
