Facing the Big Chill: Winter Tips for Bunion Care and Comfort
Winter in the UK can feel long and harsh, with cold winds, rainy streets, and layers of heavy boots. If you live with a swollen bunion, you may notice increased discomfort during the colder months—even if science hasn’t linked the weather directly to bunion pain. The real culprit? Your footwear.
When temperatures drop, most of us swap airy summer sandals for sturdier shoes or tight boots that add pressure to vulnerable toes. For those with bunions, this means extra friction and restriction—leading to more aches and less freedom in every step.
Smart Bunion Relief for Cold Weather
-
Choose wider, softer footwear: Opt for shoes made from flexible materials that adapt to your foot’s shape, relieving pressure on bunions. Avoid narrow leather boots if you feel increased swelling.
-
Look for flexible soles: Movement is key. A sole that bends helps your toes move naturally, minimising pain and stiffness as you walk.
-
