What are
BUNIONS?
Bunions affect an estimated 30% of women in the UK, with a recent study suggesting the risk for over 65s is 35% (source). Medically known as hallux valgus, a bunion is a bony lump located at the base of the big toe. Bunions occur when the bones in the front of the foot move out of place, and slowly begin pushing your big toe towards the second toe.
Our shoes help to minimise your bunion pain, offering extra stability and support, with adjustable straps to relief pressure, supportive soles, lightweight materials, arch support, and a wide forefoot area.
Calla are the best stylish comfy shoes on the market, designed with a wider toe box to be bunion friendly, making walking more comfortable, and putting less pressure on your toe joint. If walking is less painful, you'll do it more, which is better for your overall health (source).
How are Calla Shoes designed to relieve bunion pain?
Calla shoes are built from the inside out to reduce bunion pressure, prevent rubbing, and keep your feet supported all day.
- Wider, deeper toe boxes – give your bunion room to sit naturally without being squeezed.
- Soft stretch panels – adapt gently to the shape of your foot and reduce friction on sensitive areas.
- Carefully positioned seams – prevent rubbing across the bunion, hammer toes, or areas of swelling.
- Cushioned, arch-supported insoles – improve alignment and ease pressure on the big toe joint.
- Flexible, premium materials – move with your foot instead of against it, keeping you comfortable for longer.
The result is supportive, flattering footwear that feels as good as it looks.
Fit can vary slightly between styles, so if you're unsure of your size, our friendly team is always happy to help at hello@callashoes.co.uk.

Are Calla Shoes wide fit?
Yes - all Calla shoes are naturally wide fit, designed to give your toes and forefoot space to relax.
Many styles fit comfortably up to an EE–EEE width, offering:
- increased forefoot volume
- soft, stretchable materials
- a secure heel fit
- no rubbing over bunions
This helps reduce pinching and pressure, even after a long day.
Many of our trainers, such as the Star, Estella, and Cosmos styles, fit comfortably up to an EEE width.
Do Calla Shoes have a wide toe box?
They do - and this is one of the most important features for bunion comfort.
Our toe boxes are:
- deeper
- rounder
- wider
- more forgiving
This gives your bunion room to rest naturally without being forced inward.
Are Calla Shoes suitable for severe bunions?
Yes. Many women with severe bunions choose Calla because our shoes are designed to:
- hide bunions discreetly
- relieve pressure instantly
- reduce friction across sensitive joints
- accommodate swelling or asymmetry
If you need help choosing the right style for a more pronounced bunion, our team can guide you.
Do Calla Shoes work for workwear and daily wear?
Yes - we offer work shoes, office-friendly flats, and smart everyday styles that feel supportive during long shifts or all-day standing.
You can also explore walking-friendly options, comfortable flats, and supportive trainers for everyday wear.
Do you ship to the UK and internationally?
Yes - we ship worldwide.
In the UK, we offer free delivery on orders over £100, and thousands of women across the UK trust Calla for stylish, supportive bunion-friendly footwear.
Unsure about the fit or need to exchange your shoes?
If you're between sizes or trying a new style, we recommend testing your shoes on clean, carpeted flooring first so you can check the fit without affecting a return. We offer easy exchanges and returns through our online portal, and our team is always here to help if you need personalised fit advice.
