A bunion is a deformity that develops when the big toe bends inward toward the pinkie toe creating a bulge on the foot below the big toe. A bunionette is a deformity that develops when the pinkie toe points inward toward the big toe. Bunions and bunionettes commonly develop at the same time. In general, these maladies are caused by shoes. High heels are thought of as the most common cause of bunions and bunionettes. As they progress, sufferers feel uncomfortable wearing regular shoes or suffer pain just from walking.
