Wearing shoes that are too tight around the toes is the most commonly known trigger of bunions. However, factors such as certain foot types or having conditions like arthritis could be underlying causes, too.

Bunion deformities can vary greatly in extent and their visible symptoms, so it is recommended that you consult your doctor for them.
