Default Hunting boots for bunions

Looking for recommendations for someone with bunions. Been wearing Irish setters but a new pair I bought are just to painful, can’t break them in even. Thanks for any suggestions.

I believe Hanwag makes a bunion boot.

I saw those online, just a little worried about buying boots without trying them on.

Not sure if they make something that works for hunting, but I have have found Keen boots have the widest toe area, which I need for a mild bunyon issue. They work great for me, might want to have a look next time you are out shopping.

You could take a pair of boots into a shoe repair shop to have them stretched. They have a tool to stretch only in the trouble area. Also, hunting boots with a rubber rand are harder to stretch than a full leather boot.
