These Merrill’s are so comfortable plus I think really trendy, I see the style all over the blogosphere. Also these birks <a href="https://m.zappos.com/i/8640434/color/734283/style/4228915/1" rel="nofollow">https://m.zappos.com/i/8640434...../4228915/1</a> Which again just really hold the bunion in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1935209 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 21:13:43 +0000 ClaraT 1935209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For myself/my bunioned feet: I prefer something that covers that part of my foot. </p> <p>I've worn the heck out of my Earth Bay sandals--the "Tidal" sandal seems to be this year's version. (I know you didn't ask for recommendations, but in case you want to look around...)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1935207 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 21:08:51 +0000 MsMaven 1935207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the input everyone. Yesterday I wore the Echo sandals around the house for several hours and they were fine. The footbed is much more comfortable than Ecco's I've had in the past--admittedly the distant past.&nbsp;</p> <p>#Nebraskim--I get the monthly digest from barkingdogshoes and try their suggestions occasionally.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3style--I hadn't noticed that difference between the toes on the two brands. I haven't tried Ecco for years because they weren't that comfortable for me.</p> <p>#Cindy, the red shoes are tighter. I worried at first and used Dr. Scholl's Blister preventer and had no problem. Also, the straps are fabric and softer. I wore them days in the heat and humidity of Disney World and did surprisingly well.</p> <p>#Lisa and Carla, my bunions are somewhat weird--they don't bother me and never have. It's the metatarsal area and my toes that give me problems, and of course, finding shoes that fit over the bunions. I have more problems with sandals that have the bands over the bunion, although I do have some that work.</p> <p>#Angie--I added the Finds.</p> <p>I'm going to keep the Eccos. I won't be using them for lots of walking and standing, so I still need another pair of walking sandals. I'm going to head down to the SAS store one of these days to try on shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1935200 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 20:50:11 +0000 Carla 1935200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so understand your delima. I'm with folks who suggest a slide or something that (gently) wraps over the joint with a footbed that accommodates the shape of your foot.</p> <p>My feet look very much like yours ( see below) and these Naturalizers are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1935118 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:15:50 +0000 Anonymous 1935118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't the straps need to cover , or wrap over the bunion, rather than cut into the top or bottom of it? I have one on my left foot, and anything with a strap like that is a recipe for a sore foot, plus an aggravated bunion. &nbsp;I won't go near sandals that expose it, and feel much better with that toe joint covered and protected. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1935103 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:54:02 +0000 cindysmith 1935103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn, because I have foot problems on my right foot and am having to sort through what shoes work and what to ignore as soon as it crosses my path. I love the red sandals, but they look like they might be tighter or less comfortable than the gold ones. If they are comfortable for you, then by all means keep the red ones because I think they're wonderful. The gold ones are a keep too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1935063 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:18:21 +0000 Angie 1935063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the red sandals. KILLER.</p> <p>Can you please provide the Find when you have a moment?&nbsp;</p> <p>Eccos look great. Keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934969 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 05:32:38 +0000 3style 1934969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rheumatoid feet here and I cannot wear any Ecco shoes any time. The very tips of the toe boxes are always super pointy and cram my toes in a way which screws up my foot’s mechanical movement. Notice how there’s much more of a semi-circle in the toe platform for the Clarks, leaving more room for the toes to be on the footbed. However, there is a steeper decline away from the big toe in the Ecco sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934959 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 03:00:26 +0000 Nebraskim 1934959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass; I too have a bunion and the straps on these really look like they might make things worse. There's a nice website with a name like barkingdogshoes.com that has lots of options for people with feet/foot issues.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934958 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 02:36:37 +0000 Becky 1934958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would worry that over time they would hurt your feet. I have extra wide feet and bunions, and any time my bunions hang over the edge of the footbed, it's a recipe for eventual discomfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934948 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 01:29:16 +0000 Like the Season 1934948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Eccos look like they're squeezing your tootsies. I'd pass on them. Could you revisit SAS? I have two pairs now and they're so kind to my fussy feet. Perhaps not the most fashionable styles... But. So. Comfortable.</p> <p>(I removed the center strap from the black pair. It slides right off.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934908 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 23:14:53 +0000 Anonymous 1934908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look uncomfortable, like the straps could rub or dig into your foot. The Clarks look better to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934902 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 23:00:25 +0000 JAileen 1934902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look uncomfortable to me. They both look like they are pinching your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934900 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 22:58:39 +0000 annagybe 1934900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, and your feet look fine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934899 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 22:58:04 +0000 rachylou 1934899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this problem. I generally don’t do sandals anymore. More a slide and peep toe d’orsay person now, so that part of my foot is covered completely. It’s the rubbing. You don’t think the straps will rub? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bunions-and-sandals#post-1934886 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 22:34:50 +0000 MsMaven 1934886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for a replacement for some SAS sandals when I found the Ecco's below on Amazon for $15 cheaper than Zappos. They are fairly comfortable, but--do they look strange?</p> <p>I have bunions, overlapping and distorted toes, and arthritis, but I look forward to summer. Finding closed shoes is a a challenge, and it's had to find comfy sandals that don't look too horrible. I have to add pads and sometimes I have to tape my toes down.</p> <p>The red pair are Clark's that I wore at Disney World and are reasonably comfortable. Sandals with a strap across the bunion usually don't work well.&nbsp;</p> <p>By the way, that's a 33-day old pedicure--longest lasting I've ever had.</p> <p>I do wear Vionic thongs around, but they aren't supportive enough to wear outside the house and yard.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Keep the Ecco's? </p>
