Basically society at large has deemed certain shoe shapes to be aesthetically pleasing. A lot of these designs put pressure on your toes leading to problems like bunions.

Big Shoe is lying to you.

    A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place. This causes the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out.

    Fun fact. Places in the world where they wear sandals or no footwear at all basically never have this problem.

    I have very wide feet, so women’s shoes do terrible things to me. Even extra wide women’s shoes aren’t wide enough without going up a full size.

    It’s amazing the difference properly roomy men’s shoes make for me, tho I still strongly prefer being barefoot or wearing flip-flops because it’s hard to find a good pair, and I don’t want to wear them out. Size 7 2/4EW that don’t obviously look like men’s shoes are super hard to come by - those horrific mis-matched neon colors nearly ubiquitous in smaller size men’s athletic shoes (I assume because they would mostly be worn by kids and teens) are a non-starter for daily wear.
