What causes bunions?
Bunions are caused by many things, but the most common factor is genetics. If someone in your immediate family has loose ligaments, flat feet, metatarsal structure, and rheumatoid arthritis, you may be more likely to develop them. Wearing tight shoes such as high heels and stressing the joint over time can make bunions more likely, but only if you’re predisposed to them in the first place.
