I wonder if this neat looking shoe made by Vibram;

can, to some degree, help prevent bunions if worn early enough. It is 
essentialy like going barefoot and emphasizes a separation of each toe. I 
wonder if barefootedness helps avoid bunions  - a definitely more Paleo 
approach to footware, at any rate.
