I’ve had bunions for most of my adult life and the only shoes that I found comfortable were Van Daal but I don’t know what styles they have these days as I now live in Crocs and trainers. I have a corn on my other foot as well so it used to be a nightmare finding shoes for special occasions. I did once buy a pair of Van Daal black patent shoes with a small stiletto heel which I will never part with even though I can’t walk in them. In recent years I’ve turned to Clarkes but that’s been mainly for sandals.

I have Orthotic Insoles which ensure proper alignment and support for the feet. Buy from Amazon for a few pounds and they have worked for me.

As my title suggests. I am looking for a smart shoe with a block heel, what I would wear for appts, theatre, etc.
I have a couple of Court shoes, but both pairs dig into the bunion. They were ok when I tried on in the shop, but as soon as I had had them on for a couple of hours or walked a distance, the pain was awful.
I cant afford to keep wasting money on shoes I only wear a couple of times. I have been searching online and I know there are some comfy ones out there, but they look frumpy and old fashioned. Anyone else have this problem?
