[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop wearing heels and narrow toed shoes! ‘Cute’ shoes lead many women to crippling foot deformities in their elder years. I work with elder patients and it always makes me sad to see the ravages of so-called ‘fashion’.[/quote]
Don't assume we're all stuffing our feet into small shoes. I wear wide shoes and still have bunions. It runs in the family. [/quote]

Yes, I have bunions too and I can count on my two hands the number of times in my life I’ve ever worn heels. On recommendation of my grandmother’s podiatric surgeon after he removed two of her toes, I have worn only my Birkenstocks as much as humanly possible and when I can’t wear them I wear very roomy athletic shoes or hiking boots or low heels pumps as required by my professional attire in court.

Bunions are hereditary, but what kind of footwear we put our feet in can exacerbate them significantly. Whether our feet are properly aligned in footwear that supports our arches and gives our toes room to spread out as evolution designed is a huge factor in the development and deterioration of various conditions of  the feet.
