Shoes that are too narrow can result in corns (often on the outer side of your little toes) and can trigger or aggravate bunions. Corns can usually be removed but will recur if you continue to wear ill-fitting footwear.

You'd be wise to avoid squeezing your bunion-prone feet into restrictive footwear.
