I was definitely born with them. I have noticed that they run in my family. Since I was a child, I always wore socks to hide what I felt was a deformity that no one must know about. Not many people know about my bunions.
I think since I am more bunion prone, wearing heals and being active in sports have definitely added to its size. I found your site when stumbling upon articles about Brooke Shields' foot surgery.
