Bunions can be hereditary, but also can be aggravated by shoes that aren’t a good fit. Surgery is often recommended as the only way to correct the problem. Most bunions can be treated, however, without surgery by wearing protective pads to cushion the painful area, orthotics to change the foot functioning to reduce pressure in this area and of course, avoiding ill-fitting shoes in the first place.
