Clarks® Sandals for Bunions

When you have bunions, a sandal may not be the first choice of shoe that comes to mind. Though they may be more comfortable, they may also show off your bunions much more.

At Clarks, we understand that finding the right sandal can be challenging when you have bunions. That’s why we’ve designed a solution that not only hides your bunions but also provides a comfortable and supportive fit, relieving the pressure on your feet.

Our Clarks sandal for bunions has been chosen for its designs, which offer an adjustable fit and are roomier in the toe box area, where you can comfortably hide your bunions.

Clark’s sandals come with good underfoot cushioning and support systems, such as arch support and shock-absorbing features, that reduce the impact that could cause pain to your bunions.



Shoes to Avoid When You Have Bunions

Two Main Causes of bunions are ill-fitting narrow or pointy-toe shoes and high heels. So yes, there are shoes that can cause and shoes that will aggravate bunions.

When you already have bunions, you want a shoe that will not press against your toe or bunions or squeeze your toes together. You want a roomy toe box, a spacious area at the front of the shoe that allows you to spread out your toes fully.

Then again, softer and more flexible materials such as stretch knit and leather are ideal, with a smooth lining and no hard edges that can dig into your skin.

A lower-heeled shoe or lower sole, not a flat sole, is ideal. Remember, you still want a thicker sole and cushioning to absorb shock that can be painful on your bunions when you walk, stand, or run.

Flip-flops and unstable slides in shoes or slippers may be more comfortable on bunions, but they lack stability and support features that can put you off balance and lead to other foot complications.

We only sometimes want to wear closed shoes with bunions, but with Clarks, there are some exceptional options in sandals that you can wear bunions or not.


Bunions Causes and Consequences

A Bunion is a hard, bony bump that forms at the side of your big toe; the bone in the joint area sticks out to the side and can form growths or become swollen and inflamed. The bunions mainly occur because of pressure from a shoe that pushes all your toes together.

  • Causes – Besides narrow-fitting shoes and high heels, arthritis could also cause bunions and injuries to the big toe joint.
  • Treatments – You can get surgery for a Bunion. At-home treatments include pain medications and ice or heat on the area for pain relief. Pads and insoles in your shoes can also help spread your toes and prevent friction evenly.

Then there is the Cushion Soft Technology, a high-rebound foam inlay concealed in the sandal to absorb impact and provide soft cushioning. Clarks uses Ultimate Comfort Baseline technology in the sandals, which places targeted cushions in the heels and forefoot area with breathable features on the footbed of their sandal.
