Wear orthotic 4 bunion/overpronation. sneakers are higher off ground than regular shoes, like platforms. if heel 3/4 in. higher than toe ok not too hi?

Height not issue: Height at 3/4" is not too high; however, the concern may be the flexibility in the platform. If the toe doesn't flex where your foot does, the shoes may be a problem for you.

Dr. Recommends I spend $600 for orthotics. A bunion on my right foot has grown back after surgical removal about 15 years ago. The bunion is pushing the big toe into the next toe and causing pain?
