What Shoe Did Today.com Recommend for Bunions? Xero Shoes

Looking for podiatrist-recommended shoes if you have bunions? It’s important to wear shoes with a wide toe box and stretchy material.

Today.com picked Xero Shoes’ Speed Force as one of their most comfortable sneakers for bunions.

This sneaker’s wide toe box offers feet plenty of space, and the shoe is just about as close to being barefoot as you can get while still feeling comfortable. The lightweight style has a flexible sole and a removable insole, and its non-elevated (“zero drop”) heel also encourages good posture. Even cooler? They have a 5,000-mile sole warranty!

For Xero Shoes fans, you know that every shoe we make is good for bunions because of the wide toe box and foot-shaped design.

If you want a lightweight running shoe perfect for sprints or races, the Speed Force is a great option!

What Shoes Did WIRED Pick for Beach Running? Xero Shoes

Two times in one month, two Xero Shoes are featured in WIRED!

 They ask, Want to Run on the Beach? Start With the Right Shoes.

Experts recommend you’re better off NOT running barefoot in the sand, and that’s a good thing because our barefoot-inspired shoes give you the protection you need while still allowing your feet to bend, move and flex naturally.

Xero Shoes’ Aqua X Sport and Z-Trail are listed as the Best for Minimalists

WIRED calls the Aqua X Sport the ultimate water shoe, thanks to its superior breathability… All the holes along the sides and toe box means it does fill with sand like nobody’s business, but that also gives you breathability for your feet.

  The Z-Trail EV made our best overall spot in our best barefoot shoes guide, and WIRED product writer Scott Gilbertson calls them the best shoes he’s ever worn. Compared to other shoes, there’s hardly any material on them, so you can barely feel them when you’re running.
