Women's shoes for bunions, wide feet and problem feet

Calla Shoes Shoes for bunions. Built to stop rubbing on the big toe joint and carry you through long days on your feet.

At Calla Shoes, we design this range specifically for women with bunions, also known as hallux valgus, and wide feet who are tired of squeezing into shoes that were never shaped for them. We widen the toe box, keep the heel secure, and use soft, flexible materials so your shoes support a conservative approach to bunion management rather than adding more pressure to an already sensitive joint.

Bunions cannot be reversed without surgery, but the right footwear plays an important role in reducing pressure on the big toe joint and helping you stay comfortable day to day. By allowing your foot to sit in a more natural position and removing tight seams and rigid materials from the forefoot, our shoes are designed to help you manage discomfort without sacrificing style.

• Wide toe box: We shape every last to give you extra width and depth across the toe box while keeping a standard fit at the heel, so your bunion has space but your heel stays secure instead of slipping as you walk.
• Stretch lining panels: We build in soft stretch linings over the bunion area because stiff interiors cause rubbing and soreness, and the lining flexes gently as you move to help reduce pressure on sensitive joints.
• Arch-supported insoles: We include cushioned insoles with built-in arch support in our heels, flats and trainers to help keep your foot in a more natural position, which can help limit excess rolling inwards that increases strain through the big toe joint.
• Removable footbeds: In selected styles, particularly our trainers, we add removable moulded insoles so you can use your own orthotics if needed, avoiding the cramped, unstable fit that happens when orthotics are forced into shallow shoes.
• EE-EEE width options: We carefully design many of our styles to fit up to EE or EEE in the forefoot, so you do not have to size up just to gain width, which often leaves shoes feeling too long and less supportive.
• Stable heel heights: When we design heels, we balance the height with supportive bases and subtle platforms where needed, reducing the pitch at the front so your weight is not forced sharply onto your bunions.
• Portuguese leather uppers: We source soft, high quality leather and suede from Europe because these materials gently adapt to the shape of your foot over time, moulding around lumps and bumps instead of holding a rigid shape.

These styles reflect the core fit principles we apply across our collection - wide in the toe box, standard in the heel, soft where your bunion sits, and supportive underfoot. If you are looking for a particular finish, heel height or level of width, our team can help you choose the option that best suits your feet.

Calla Shoes Shoes for bunions Stable support without squeezing your forefoot

• Seam-free toe box: We chose the Star - Grain White Leather & Champagne Wide Fit Trainers because its fully lined, seam-free toe box and removable moulded footbed reduce rubbing across bunions, while the wider forefoot fit accommodates up to EEE width without compromising heel security.
• Chunky supportive sole: The Cosmos - Chunky-Sole Black Wide Fit Trainers combines a standard fit around the heel with additional width and depth in the toe box, so you get stability at the back and pressure relief at the front when you are walking or standing for long periods.
• Soft leather upper: We crafted the Meredith - Black Leather Loafers in supple leather with discreet stretch lining, allowing the upper to ease over bunions while maintaining a polished shape suitable for work or smart occasions.
• Balanced block heel: The Lottie - Black Leather Block Heels pairs an 8cm block heel with a 2cm platform and a cushioned, arch-supported insole, reducing the effective angle at the front of the shoe so pressure is not concentrated solely on the big toe joint.
• Lower heel pitch: We selected the Ria - Black Leather Kitten Heels for women who prefer a gentler lift, and its 3.5cm heel, bunion-friendly stretch lining and roomy toe box work together to help minimise pressure while keeping the foot secure with an ankle strap.
• Supportive slipper sole: The Ember - Mocha Chocolate Suede Slippers features built-in arch support, generous toe room and a durable outsole, so you are not left in flat, unsupportive house shoes and can move comfortably around your home without adding unnecessary strain to the toe joint.

The Calla Comfort Method: Our Proprietary Approach

At Calla, we don’t just make "wide shoes." We pioneered The Calla Comfort Method, a specialized design philosophy developed in collaboration with foot experts and master shoemakers. Most brands simply scale the whole shoe up, leaving you with a heel that slips and a look that feels "orthopedic." Our method focuses on targeted volume - extra space exactly where you need it (the forefoot), and a secure, standard-width fit where you don’t (the heel).

The Science of Comfort: Friction, Pressure, and Alignment

We’ve engineered our footwear to neutralize the three main causes of bunion pain:

• Pressure Relief: By using an anatomically shaped, extra-wide toe box (fitting up to EE-EEE width), we allow your foot to sit in a more natural position. This prevents the painful compression that leads to inflammation of the big toe joint.
• Friction Displacement: We incorporate seam-free stretch linings and premium, soft Portuguese leathers. By removing seams from the bunion area, we eliminate the primary cause of rubbing and skin irritation.
• Postural Alignment: Our cushioned insoles with built-in arch support help keep your foot properly aligned. This limits the excess "rolling inward" (overpronation) that is often a primary cause of bunion development.
