Fact or Myth: High heels cause bunions.
Myth: While they can exacerbate the problem by squeezing the toes together and putting pressure on the big toe joint, they are not the root cause of your bunion.4
Fact or Myth: Bunions are hereditary.
Fact: Bunions do run in families, which makes genetics one of the leading causes of this complex 3D deformity. Weak mechanical structure (such as foot shape and structure) can result in such defects, proving that bunions are in fact hereditary.4
