Getting old and gradually realize we usually to buy a lot more than we really need.
However I just can’t resist to look at shoe stores whenever passing through. I bought a pair of sneakers in Kyoto last Nov. It was rainy & cold, not much people on street, sales was very nice trying to explain with some translating App of his phone. Then I bought sneakers for people with problem of hallux valgus even though I don’t have this issue with my feet. I tried yesterday to find out it is extremely comfortable doing my daily walking in the park.
I checked the sole and found 2 oval rising parts, probably this is the reason to reduce the pressure while walking.

Moonstar is a Japanese brand known for its canvas shoes, which are often characterized by their simple yet durable design. While Moonstar shoes are popular for their comfort and quality, they may not specifically cater to individuals with hallux valgus, a condition where the big toe deviates towards the other toes.
For individuals with hallux valgus, finding suitable footwear often involves seeking shoes with certain features that accommodate the condition. These features may include:
- Wide toe box: Shoes with a wide toe box provide extra room for the toes, reducing pressure on the bunion caused by hallux valgus.
- Soft, flexible material: Soft and flexible materials can help prevent friction and irritation around the bunion area.
- Adjustable straps or laces: Shoes with adjustable straps or laces allow for a customized fit, accommodating any swelling or discomfort associated with hallux valgus.
- Supportive sole: Shoes with a supportive sole can help distribute pressure more evenly across the foot, reducing discomfort.
While Moonstar shoes may not be specifically designed for hallux valgus, individuals with this condition may still find certain styles comfortable, particularly those with a wider toe box. It’s essential to try on different styles and sizes to find the best fit and comfort level.
Additionally, some shoe brands offer specific styles designed for individuals with hallux valgus or other foot conditions. It may be worth exploring options from brands that specialize in orthopedic or comfort footwear to find shoes tailored to your needs. Consulting with a podiatrist or orthopedic specialist can also provide valuable guidance on selecting appropriate footwear for hallux valgus.
I will put this brand in mind and recommend to my friends in future. It is good value for money.
