I have SEVERE bilat. bunions. But... no pain. Just ugly feet. I normally would wear a size 11, as I am 5 ft 11. Unfortunately with my great toes actually twisting to the sides bilat., and then of course it pushing all the other toes over that area that my toes touch in a shoe is where the shoe starts to slant downward. So, I have had to go upwards of one or two sizes so that my toes are not jammed into the shoe. All the while I'm leaving a huge space a big toe should be! Anyway, I am following this because I'm wondering if someone is doing this for bunions issues or if they had a bunionectomy? I believe the time for my possible bunionectomy has passed, as I cannot use one of those knee devices to keep off weight bearing. I will be having my first hip replaced in January then my left in March and then my knees. I understand with total knee replacement kneeling going forward is problematic and only for a short periods. Not for an 8 to 10 week of non weight bearing.
