I found Gel-Techs recommended online for bunion comfort and generously recommended (lots of positive reviews). These are the ONLY walking shoes that have not created blisters around my left-foot bunion (which isn't even that pronounced a bunion) when I walked over 7-8 miles. However, the original pair I ordered was a 9, which is what I usually get in a walking shoe, but those proved to be too short so I ended up w/ 3 severely bruised toenails, 2 of which I'll probably lose. Since I was already in the midst of training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, I just ordered a half-size larger (my first 9 and 1/2s) and cut the toes out of my first pair. At any rate, the longer shoes worked, and I just completed the Avon Walk in Charlotte, not the 39.3 m option but 26.2 m. Go ASICS! I just got an email for a sale price on these shoes at $70 (paid $90 at Amazon) so contemplating getting 3rd pair. Highly recommend but be careful on size.
