I’ve finally found a pair of good bunion shoes that give my toes room to breathe—these affordable Skechers sneakers

Approximately one-third of Americans have bunions—it’s an issue that affects many of us as we age.

Ill-fitting shoes are often the culprit, but there is also a genetic component, meaning that you can develop bunions at any point in your life.

I have a bunion myself but I’ve found that the Skechers Max Cushioning Arch Fit Areena has a very generous toe box, which allows it room to breathe.

Currently, you can get the best deal I’ve ever seen on this bunion-friendly shoe, with prices starting as low as $67.16 on Amazon (a dollar less than Prime Day).

I recently reviewed this shoe for my guide to best walking shoes, where it will soon replace the Innov8 shoe as “best for wide feet”.

It isn’t quite my favorite Skechers shoe—the Max Cushioning Elite holds that title—but it is a close second, thanks to its roomy toe box, and it’s also part of the excellent Max Cushioning range.

The Slip-in and Arch Fit features make this a great option for those who need a little extra help getting their shoes on and appreciate underfoot support when walking.

If your feet tip inwards as you walk, the inner arch support corrects your foot position with each step, so you feel more stable and distribute your weight more evenly.

I’ve also found that I can wear a small toe spacer with this shoe, which realigns my drifting toe joint.

Most toe boxes are too tight for your toes and a toe spacer, so this feature was a particular win for me, cementing it as a new favorite.
