I agree about the wider toe box...even better, try exercising without shoes if you can! It is possible to reverse the effects of bunions through spreading of the toes (as Sandra suggested, Yoga Toes is one method), and going barefoot as much as possible allows the toes to spread naturally.

I have feet issues and agree with barefoot workouts. It's good to get our feet our of shoes and strengthen them. Shoes...intended to support and protect, often inhibit and create imbalances.
For outdoor walking I wear New Balance or Asics. Nikes don't work for me or anything with a pointy or narrow toe box. I've recently discovered Jambu shoes and they are wonderful for casual wear. I like Naot or Dansko also.
