Got Bunions? Ditch the Nylons!

Tips on Tuesday

We have all heard the warnings about bunion grief from wearing tight fitting, pointed-toed shoes. To be sure wearing your shoes too short or wearing high heels will encourage bunions but you might be surprised to know that nylons are just as harmful a culprit. Nylons squeeze your toes together and when you have a bunion that is the opposite of what you need which is as much toe spread and freedom as possible. Also, nylons limit your skins' ability to “breathe” and this can encourage fungus to grow between your toes. I recommend that you wear nylons as little as possible, saving them for special occasions much like you would a pair of fanciful high heels.
