Bunions Genetic vs Shoe-Caused
Quick Answer: Bunions are 70% genetic + 30% accelerated by tight pointy shoes. Both factors matter. You can’t change genetics but choosing wider shoes slows progression dramatically.
Family History
If parents/grandparents had bunions, you’re predisposed. Wear wide shoes from young age to delay onset.
FAQ
Will avoiding heels prevent bunions?
In genetically predisposed people — slows progression but may not prevent.
