Bunions are very painful. I have one, just on the right foot but not through wearing fashion shoes,although I did as I was forever kicking my shoes off and would often wear things like Dr Scholls to work, or at least have them under my desk so I could tak my shoes off and put the Scholls on. I've even walked 3 miles home in the depth of December in bare feet as my (borrowed from my mother) shoes were too tight and we had missed the last bus home and there was no way I could walk in those shoes. Shoes off, stockings carefully rolled off and in companion's pocket, as indeed were my shoes, and we walked home. I would have only been 15, getting on 16, and I had gone to a dinner dance with the boy over the road who had been invited to his company do and was expected to take someone with him, and he said very plaintively to me "I don't know any girls", so I reminded him I was one, which took by surprise somewhat, I think he'd always just thought of me as Gilly over the road rather tha a girl even though we were very good friends, so he took me. My bunion can be directly credited to my PE teacher grabbing my navy blue gymn knickers at the back and yanking to "help" me over the horse at school, I totally lost my balance, went crashing down onto the floor missing the mat by miles and dislocating my big toe. It was agony and ever since then (I was 14 or 15) it has played me up, especially in the cold weather and now it's a full blown bunion which eventually will have to be "done" as at times it can get very painful and make my shoes, which are always comfortable flat heeled ones these days, feel very tight. I've worn little else but flat heeled shoes now for about 25 years. In the winter I wear sensible lace-ups or low heeled boots and in the summer I almot live in sandals, but at home I'm nearly always bare-footed even in the garden, and if I have to go out and put something in the bin in the snow I don't bother putting shoes on, I just trot out, do what I have to and then trot back in. The PE teacher has a lot to answer for! I think my mother might have had a small bunion, but am not too sure, and certainly not like the one I now have.
