Comfort Features: Bunion Pockets

Foot Health & Wellness

We know how important shoes are to an outfit, but is any type of fashion trend worth the risk of developing bunions or making bunions worse? Styles like high heels, narrow shoes, and pointed-toe shoes compress the toes together and force the big toe to point toward the other toes, which causes bunions to develop. Depending on the style, select Aetrex Shoes have bunion pockets built-in which helps relieve pressure from painful bunions.

BUNION POCKETS IN AETREX SHOES

Bunion pockets are strategically placed straps that provide a void for bunions without adding any pressure or restriction, giving you comfort where you need it most. The straps are placed to go above and below the bunion, relieving any pressure on the actual area to help keep you comfortable.
