Help finding shoes to accommodate tailor bunion

Hi Ladies! Can any of you please offer me some suggestions on footwear, socks, APMA accepted insoles, anything - for life with tailor bunions? I now need a wide width shoe and am happy QVC offers many brands. Have had some luck with Earth and Vionic. Need roomy toe box without swimming in the heels, but will work with that through heel slip pads, etc. Donated all of my old shoes. My feet grew a full size as well. Both of these seemed to have happened in response to recovery from a knee fracture that had me out of my regular footwear for months, limited activity, and compensating for the injury when I did walk. Some support and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

@22eyesblue SeaMaiden recently posted about having a TB. Perhaps she will see your post and offer some advice to you. In the meantime, put this article into your search bar. There are suggestions there and in a larger article that is linked to it.

I am sorry you are having that problem, which I do not know about, but I find that SAS (San Antonio Shoes) has some very comfortable shoes in an excellent variety of widths and sizes and that is all I wear now and my podiatrist strongly approved at my last visit. The sandals I get have 2 adjustable straps across the top of foot and one adjustable strap at the heel. Once you set the straps to your liking, you can just leave it that way and easily slip the shoe on and off. If they have a store anywhere in your area, you will find their staff very helpful in fitting you. Otherwise you will have to check it out online. I hope you are successful in finding good shoes.

@22eyesblue Sorry I can not help you with finding shoes for comfort with Tailors bunions....but just wanted to share that Itoo have them on both feet...have had them my whole life. I find shoes that are comfortable and wear them till they fall apart...as they are a blessing to find! I am so fortunate that my feet do not hurt. I wear medium width shoes with a wide toe box.

how bad is your pain or discomfort? There is bunion surgery to correct the bunion, but it is major surgery that keeps you off your foot for quite a while to heal.

Thank you! I will check out everything. I've found that with most bunion items they are referring to the larger bunion on the inside of the foot not the tailor but I won't rule any option out. God bless you for your time responding. I appreciate it.

Only painful when toe box isn't wide enough. That's why I'm doing my best to find those that will work. I am someone who does everything she can. To heck with fashion if my health and well being are involved. Thanks for your reply!

SAS is the only shoe I wear. I also have significant foot issues but they are unrelated to bunions. I do hope there is a store in your area so you can try before you buy. If not, the website has many, many styles. I can only wear the closed toe shoes, but they have a large variety of sandals. I saw a lady who had on socks with the sandals she was buying so that could work, too.

Please do not be put off by the price. These shoes are leather. Most styles are made in San Antonio or were when I lived in the area. They last for years. All you may need is a little shoe polish now and then, and they will look as good as new.

Good luck! I know how miserable painful feet can make your life.

Thank you so much! I've been purchsing Aetrex shoes for years but they offer very little wide. I am willing to pay the price necessary for keeping things from getting worse and staying active. I am glad that you have found relief with SAS and yes I believe there is a store about 1/2 hour away that offers at least a couple SAS styles I can tryl

@22eyesblue SAS has their own stores if you are fortunate to have one of the company stores nearby. I believe their web site has a store locator function. Otherwise if your store even has a couple of styles to try, you can at least get the feel of the comfort they offer. Then if your store doesn't have exactly what you need in size or style, you will understand what you may want to choose online.

I've had a tailor bunion and hammertoes on right foot only for many years. I try to wear medium width shoes with generous toe box. My feet are slim from instep through heel so I walk right out of any wide width shoe. Luckily I live in a warm climate where I can wear sandals nearly year around. I buy sandals with adjustable straps. Alegria is a good fit for bunions. I also wear lots of clogs and slides. If you need a sneaker, I've found both Brooks and Hoka to be comfortable fits. Both brands have wide toe boxes in a medium width. I have the most trouble with leather shoes because leather does not stretch and give the way a fabric shoe does, but I have few occasions to wear a leather shoe these days. For dress pumps I look for a rounded toe, like Easy Spirit. No more high heel pointy toe pumps for me. Good luck!

Although no problems with bunions, I wear Finn shoes and sandals (when not wearing Birkenstocks!!) due to diabetes and Lupus problems with my feet and legs. They have a wide toebox, are well-crafted, very comfortable, and all leather. Expensive, but good footwear is worth the price in my opinion.

I tried them on (for fit only) at a local shoe store, but found them to be less expensive on-line at finn dot com

Their customer service is wonderful. HTH!!

I have found a great fit with th e "Sketchers Relaxed Fit" and the Clarks Relaxed Fit" shoes/boots/sneakers. Nothing else works for my foot with it's issues. The wide width is troo big in the footbed except for the toe box and going up 1/2 size is too long a footbed for my foot.

I have the Sketchers version in 2 pair of thre tennis/slip on shoes.

I have the Clarkes version in 2 pair of the leather "shooties".

Hope this helps you.

@22eyesblue

Sorry that you have an issue. My family owned the largest fine shoe store in our city.

This is what you need.

From Foot Fitter, A Ball and Ring Bunion Stretcher. I have one and have a bunion. I leave it on for several weeks, remember leather, like skin is resistant.

You can use a blow dryer to warm up the area to help.

Thank you very much! I will give it a try! Concept sounds promising. No need to stretch the whole foot bed. Thanks again!
