11. Bunions rule out so many styles! I have duck feet. Narrow heel, wide at the top...

I can't wear anything strappy. I can't wear ballet flats because the cut is right across the bunion. Anything with a thong like flip flops causes bunion pain. Pointy toed anything is out.

Soooooooo... have custom orthotics for running/walking. And I wear old lady comfortable German shoes from Foot Solutions the rest of the time. I tried a pair of dress shoes from Gabor and they were comfortable enough to wear all night at a wedding. I can do some boots with the help of inserts but I can never go too high in anything.

I always wonder where people with duck feet buy shoes? However, the salespeople assure me shoes for the narrow foot are even harder to find!
