 Is there any way to do that? So you can't really shrink a bunion once you have that bony deformity. It's there. What I often recommend, very old school sort of, is to get yourself a wooden shoe stretcher, which is something you can find on Amazon. And you can actually stretch your shoe out in that area just to remove any pressure on your bunion. If the shoe is touching your toenail, it's likely that the shoe might be a little too small.
