My feet spread very wide when i stand on them. they are very painful and deform any shoe i wear. i have spent a lot on shoes. can surgery help?

Bunions/bunionette: Yes, there are surgical procedures available to narrow the feet if painful. Most common procedures include the removal of bunions(below the big toe) and the removal of tailor's bunions(below the small toe). Often the metatarsal bones are surgically cut and realigned to decrease the width of the foot.
