Proper shoes: Proper fitting shoes are one way to avoid developing bunions. The most common cause of bunions is biomechanical instablity in the foot. Also, bunoins are hereditary so if your parents have them you maybe at risk for developing them. If you are concenred you might have a bunion see a podiatric surgeon.

Bunions: Bunions seem to have a hereditary nature in most people and sometimes wearing custom orthotics may slow down the progression of the deformity. A podiatrist can make custom orthotics based your diagnosis and symptoms.
