I have met a few people who had foot surgery for bunions and none of them were happy with it.Wine up the nose is NOT funny.

Thanks for all the shoe suggestions ladies. And taxy, I have a bunion, fallen arches, and high insteps. Himself's cousin had foot surgery a while back, and now her foot is worse off than before! Not interested in going that route. Gotta admit I love summer best - my feet enjoy it most when they are bare or just in sox. No shoes. If my one foot starts to hurt I just wrap an old Ace wrist support around it at the arch and I'm good to go!
The LLBean moccasins look pretty comfy, and so does their price. Bonus, there is an LLB store on the way to one of the two Penzeys stores we've gone to, each about 45 miles away. Will have to check them out after the holidays.
Yeah, with bunions it gets harder to find shoes that fit. Fit is my big issue. I only buy leather shoes and I make sure the lining is leather or stretchy. Those shoes are going to have to stretch at the bunion. Sometimes I can find sandals that don't go across the bunion, then the shoes don't have to be leather.
Good luck with the shoe hunt.
