For $10 a pair, these might provide some minor relief without breaking the bank but I don't recommend them to any of my patients.

I usually suggest wearing it for one hour one day, then two hours the next day, three hours the next day, and so on. See if that helps.
Regarding the mass market insert comment, I agree. Custom inserts won't do you any good if the over the counter ones don't.
I guess the main thing is, is your bunion painful at the joint? On top? The side? Depending on what you're dealing with, wider shoes with a wide toe box can be helpful, or a bunion shield from Amazon/CVS/Walgreens etc. From then on, depending on how bad the bunion is, if you have bad range of motion in that (1st metatarsal phalangeal) joint, your podiatrist could modify your orthotics with a "reverse Morton's extension". Not too many conservative treatments for bunions before considering Surgery.
So overall I used the insoles for about a month, they were perfect the first two weeks and started hurting soon after. Not sure if I should try a lesser comfort insole, I am currently using pedag viva insoles but they are quite thin (barely any support) but don't hurt as much.
Bunion - my bunion isn't painful at all, isn't quite pronounced and I'm pretty young, I just want to stave off surgery as much as possible. I've been using adidas ultraboosts with a half size up to allow a wide toebox, but I think I will get Hokas next as I've heard the spacing in them is much better. What would you suggest?

Regarding Hokas, they're an excellent brand. If you CAN, find a running store near you and try them on. Hokas have excellent motion control with their plantar rocker and personally I dislike that rocking motion. I'm more of a Brooks kinda guy. Doesn't mean Hokas are bad, they're just not my style. You wouldn't be able tell without physically trying them on in a shoe store, as opposed to purchasing them online via Amazon. Hope that helps.

Inserts should be picked based on your activity level and your arch height (flat foot vs "normal" vs high arch). I am assuming your bursitis is causing you pain in the back of your heel. An insert won't address the pain there. Something like NSAIDs (voltaren gel is super popular and effective if you don't have kidney issues), icing can be helpful for that. The manufacturer's website for Superfeet has a little questionnaire to help you determine which color Superfeet will best suit you. I don't know it off the top of my head but Greens are for a certain arch height, oranges are for a different kind, and so on.
I've never tried any other brand and I know the Scholls are cheaper but just thought I'd share my review of the Power Step.
