STYLISH SANDALS FOR BUNIONS

For under $50, the Birkenstock Arizona EVA supports the arches, conceals the bunions and tidies up well! EVA refers to the material used (ethylene vinyl acetate)– a high-quality, lightweight, elastic material with very good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned. I have a pair and find the support not quite as enhanced as my regular cork/latex Birkenstocks, but better than Crocs! And they come in such pretty colors now. Find a pair in women’s sizes 5-12 (men’s 6-13), narrow and regular widths for $49.95 from Birkenstock, Zappos and Amazon.

“I like the style because it covers my bunion but does not cause pain in that area as the leather is soft.”

And Carol:

“This shoe is supportive and stylish. It was a comfortable walking sandal for a trip to Italy. Hides my bunion which is a bonus. Highly recommend.”

Keep in mind when ordering that the Pikolinos Mahon runs a smidge small. Find it in euro sizes 36-42 (5.5-11.5) for $165 from Zappos, Nordstrom, and Amazon.

If you’ve tried Birkenstock but for some reason or another the fit and feel isn’t for you, give the Dansko Dayna a try. Not only is the footbed soft and supportive, the straps work in your favor according to Dansko customer Connie:

“I have a bunion and whenever I purchase shoes, they have to feel good and not bother my bunion. These are great. The strap on the inside part of my foot hides the bunion, but, more important the strap does not bother the bunion.”

Find the Dansko Dayna in euro sizes 36-42 (5.5-11.5) for $140 from Dansko, Zappos and Amazon.

A lovely sandal for all sizes, the quality-made Munro Lee slide comes in extended sizes and widths. The supple lamb leather straps envelope unsightly bunions with ease. The cushioned footbed provides moderate arch support and a 1.5″ heel offers a little lift. Find the versatile Munro Lee in sizes 5-12, extra narrow to extra wide widths for $62-115 from Nordstrom and Amazon.

The Taos Gift 2 sandal is the trifecta of arch support, metatarsal support and bunion concealment! It’s been around for years and we hope Taos keeps it for years to come. This is just one of hundreds of 5 star Zappos reviews for the Gift 2:

“This is my third pair of these sandals. I have a hard time finding comfortable (and reasonably attractive) sandals due to a significant bunion on my left foot. These are soft and accommodating, not to mention effectively hiding the embarrassing bunion. They look nice and come in several different colors. They hold up well. True to size.”

Find the Taos Gift 2 in sizes 6-12 for $135 from Taos Footwear, Zappos, and Amazon.

If bunions are just one of your many foot maladies, consider the Halsa Denia sandal. The adjustable leather straps conceal the bunions (and bunionettes) while the orthotic-style footbed supports the arches and cushions the heel. This Zappos review from a delighted customer says it all:

“The first time I wore these, I walked all over a mall for two hours and they were very comfortable. No issues, no blisters, no pain. They are fashionable but also perfectly cover my bunion, which is rare for a sandal. I also wore these on vacation and walked a LOT without an issue. They felt true to size (I had the 8 wide). Totally love these, and since it’s very hard to find wide summer shoes that cover my bunions, it’s worth the price.”

Find the Halsa Denia in sizes 6-11, medium and wide width for $99-124.95 from and Nordstrom and Amazon.
