What Causes Bunions?



Bunions form due to a variety of factors, including an active lifestyle!

Improperly fitting shoes:

A bunion causes pain when walking; or can form initially if your shoes don't have enough room in the toe box. You will find Dawgs™ footwear's toe box to be a relief if your current shoes are causing bunions.

Foot type:

A foot that pronates, or rolls inward excessively when walking, has a higher tendency for forming bunions. Other symptoms of foot bunion pain include swelling, redness or pain of the joint at the base of your big toe.

Bunion sufferers can prevent/treat bunions by wearing better shoes (like Dawgs™) or by using products such as a bunion brace, bunion cushion, or gel bunion pad.

If a bunion does form, quickly determine the cause of the bunion and take preventative measures. You should consult a podiatrist to learn more about how to treat and prevent bunion pain if this is happening to you on a regular basis.
