what are bunions?
If you’re a women with bunions, you’re not alone. Many women struggle with bunions. A bunion is an unpleasant bump at the base of the big toe. The exact cause of its formation remains unclear, but what we do know is that significantly more women than men experience it. Also, the likelihood of developing bunions increases with age, and there may be a hereditary component to it. One contributing factor is wearing ill-fitting shoes, especially high heels. Classic pumps for instance, often feature a narrow toe box and high heels. This puts immense pressure on the forefoot and forces the big toe inward. This can lead to the formation of a bunion, which can be painful. A solution to minimize the pain? Opt for shoes for bunions!

What's the difference: HV vs. F2F
You may have already seen those letters 'HV' and 'F2F' behind the names of our shoes. Well, these aren't just any letters! 'HV' stands for – you guessed it – hallux valgus. These shoes have extra space on the inside of the shoe, exactly where your hallux valgus is. The shoes are made on a special last. This has created extra space at the site of the lump. You don't see anything on the outside, but on the inside it makes a world of difference. Give them a try to find out how nice HV shoes are for your feet. And that F2F? F2F stands for 'Fit2Feet'. This is a patented method from Wolky that works according to a three-layer principle. Our F2F shoes consist of three types of materials, stretch and regular leather. We made a recess in the middle layer. This allows the shoe to stretch where you need it. The rest of the shoe? It just keeps its shape! Check out all of our F2F shoes on the page above.
