What is bunion surgery and recovery like?

@tkrfail21 Be prepared for a year or two when only a few shoe styles may be comfortable and also for a potential change in shoe size. It took me that long until my feet were no longer super-sensitive to shoes. Sandals with cut-outs in the bunion area and woven, stretchy huaraches are good in the summer, as are roomy woolen clogs with added sheepskin innersoles in the winter. Think shoes with roomy, blunt toe boxes. Wearing a silicone toe separator ring may help to straighten your toes because it will prevent one toe from slipping under its neighbor.

@jnb That wasn't my experience at all - and why would it be? We are all different! 🙂

Your post reminded me of something though - after I had my bunion operations, I had to have my 2nd (longer) toe operated on to remove a joint b/c, once my toes were straight, I developed hammer toe which was very painful. That operation was no big deal and what a relief.

I just bought skechers larger and in extra wide
