new shoes or socks?

I recently bought a pair of New Balance sneakers--B width. I have bunions. My feet are wide-ish, but not very wide. I've been finding that my toe pad and toes feel like their burning after I wear them for a while. Yesterday I noticed a blister on my toe pad.

I realized I was wearing cotton socks (or a cotton nylon spandex blend) vs a coolmax sock. I just bought a few pairs of coolmax or the equivilant hoping this might help.

Also, I bought some bunion pads, which has helped a bit.

Do you think I might need to get a wider shoe or is this the socks?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
