    Has anyone able to play comfortably with having bunions?
    I have bunions on both of my toes and especially on my main right feet, that area will be rather sore after playing. So far I've been wearing wide shoes (Mizuno's Wave Claw 2) and it helps a bit compare to my old shoes which are far more narrower.
    I just curious is there any other way to reduce the soreness on my feet? Was thinking of buying those toe separator socks and wear it during play, not sure how it'll help thou.

    i ve had the same problem for years! Then a teammate told me about an insole specialist. They made custome insoles for stanislas wawrinka and other professional athletes before. So i went there and bought these CUSTOM made insoles for $150. And they are worth every penny and even more. what they do is, they measure your foot and make an 'standard' insole. However the affected area of the insole is scraped off and they glue a special cushioning in this area. So whenever you move laterally on court, your bunion is well padded.

    Do you mind telling me the name of the insole specialist and contact information? I have a friend who suffers from bunion for years and he is interested in cusome insoles. Thanks in advance!
