Can’t wait for the sequel: “When I get home from my job as a competitive eater and drink diet soda”
@swejer That’s why I was agreeing - using bunion correctors while wearing narrow shoes most of the time is as pointless as drinking diet soda while having an extreme calorie intake.
@swejer Not a problem. Glad to clarify
HHHHHHHmjHHHHHH
@@oldvlognewtricks It's not going to fix it, like the big toe breaker is "supposed to", but it's at least not making the problem worse.
I don't understand the hate on diet soda...If I drank regular soda instead of diet it would literally be thousands of extra calories PER DAY lmao...
My Dad had bunions and I had massive foot, torn arches, stress fractures, shin splints, and arthritic ACL issues from having the same narrow foot issues. Discovered barefoot running, and developed a morning routine where I spread my toes with my fingers regularly, and massage the fascia on the bottom of my feet. Ice massage with blocks of ice frozen in plastic cups cured and reset everything and make my legs feel brand new daily. Changed my life...
@hmmmm it fell off :o
fire ants don't love me enough to give my feet this type of freedom
Barefoot running is the best feeling. But be careful to not overexert yourself if you're just beginning. Some of those muscles have never been used before, and the soreness will make you thonk that you're dying. Just ease into it gradually and do your stretches.
I used to love running around the playground barefoot when I was little. 😅
@@elsawithginathedreamdragon3952 there's many things we did as children that are very connected to our natural state of bein, everythin else has been taught like insecurity and doubt and what you "should" do and what's "acceptable" and then sold ur insecurity back to u on a platter u "have" to get etc
I wear crocs because they allow my toes to spread out as much as I want. I always get comments when I’m not wearing shoes because my toes spread out more than what is typical. I always tell people to stop wearing narrow shoes because they aren’t good for their feet. I doubt they listen, but it’s true.
Love crocs! And flip flops 😊
Society has shaped people to becoming idiots into thinking shoes must be pointy at the top and so they clown those that wear wide toe box shoes.
Keep doing you and I agree I love my crocs so comfy
I usually wear wides. I hate it because shoes look big on me when I'm skinny.
Yeah I’ve started wearing sandals in the summer and they were so comfy. Gonna try to get more open-toed shoes and wide shoes because my bunions HURT
lol you can hear the guys pain as he is stretching his toe out
No kidding! It’s like a medieval torture device. Ouch!
Love it
Why is that something to laugh about?
@@cremebrulee4759 Because He is inflicting the pain by wearing the shoes and inflicting more pain trying to fix the toe. its ironic
@@cremebrulee4759 cause I find amusement out of his pain
Annoying part is that a large majority of shoes have the narrow point while the ones that actually fit are scarce. At least in my experience.
For dress shoes the square shape is kinda coming back in style. I guess all this time we were wearing narrow shoes for aesthetics but it's actually super bad for our feet. As a massage therapist I can see how it contributes to so many people, young people too, always complanimg about their knees. Their feet are all our of alignment.
Uhh, the internet is a beautiful place. That’s all I have to say.
Try looking at some heydudes for casual wear
You can find wide shoes everywhere. Just look for the W next to the size, like 9W or 7W.
Look for barefoot shoes, they all have a wide toebox, but for being a minimalist shoe, you better have maximum moolah
Dang my mom always told me my feet are too wide but it's just more normal
Well, natural. Normal is what most do, which is narrow feet.
@@unbanned6175 narrow feet is not natural anyone can have narrow feets if they only wear narrow shoe's regularly
@@KingshukMonsur You just said what he implied
wide feet or wide toes?
@@KingshukMonsurthats what he said, normal is what the majority do not what is natural, for example, its natural to walk around naked but its not normal because almost no one does that.
While there is not like one genetic disorder specifically linked to bunions, it's not correct to say that they are completely not hereditary. There are several genetic components that make bunion formation more likely, even in proper footwear/without shoes.
I mean... sure, but it is like remarkimg that John is more likely to need glasses due to genetics while watching him pour acid on his eyes
it’s kind of like with obesity imo
@@ElderCM The analogy is wrong here. It's the opposite. Disregarding the genetic component would be like saying that acid is the only thing that can cause you to need glasses. But people are notoriously bad with these basic logical operations. When it rains, the uncovered street will be wet. that doesn't mean that it is always true that it rained when you observed a wet street.
For the example here, it's important to remember that even if you do everything right, you might get bunions.
I have genetic bunions, and before i had surgery to correct that, it was painful ti walk long distances or run
I think that most people who wear narrow shoes do not have this bad of a problem (it can become bad but its is less likely because most people wear narrow shoes and dont have pain)
You are only partially right in your statement. Yes, certain foot shape, like a classical Greek shape is more predisposed to developing bunions if narrow, pointed shoes with inflexible sole and a high heel are worn for several decades. Such foot will never get deformed with bunions, if a person with Greek feet walks constantly bear feet or wears non-restrictive Greek sandals.
I used to wear narrow toe box shoes but when I first found my first pair of wide toe box shoes did I find how incredibly comfy they are and haven't looked back since.
please tell me what brand you use, i cant find a solid quality brand for wide toe shoes. please lmk when you can
God the weird whispered aches and groans in the beginning makes me ball up in cringe
fr tho 🤣🤣🤣
It was kinda hot for me, honestly.
I enjoyed it
Those sounds make me cringe up in balls.
"we're all wearing narrow shoes"
Crocs and Birkenstocks laughing
Unfortunately both brands changed their original width and now for wide feet people like Polynesians and native Americans the shoes are not wide enough. That's me.
My crocs shrunk in the sun 🥲
buy 1 size bigger to count for the shrink
Keen and Altra laughing
@@acmeallpurpose4974 softstar dying on the floor
And my parents keep telling me off for wearing sandals too much. I can stretch my toes the farthest at home, haha.
Nah you're just grotty as fuck
Just buy wide toed shoes or crocs. Or sandal shoes. Open toed but they still latch closed in areas and such
@@AfraidMonsters Well I can't really do that cause I have specific training shoes and I use skates a lot 😅
This is why I only wear crocs… with the jiblets and everything 🙌
Am I not the only jibbitz junkie😃? Not to talk about how Crocs allow to show the extream beauty of my crazy socks😜...
So what you're saying is I'm doing a great job wearing flip-flops and giving my toes space in my off time
Ive changed my whole shoe wardrobe to wide toe box shoes. Altra, chacos, teva, keen, and other shoes in wide or extra wide when i can find them. Biggest change people dont talk about is athletes foot. Having sweaty toes jammed together is a recipe for disaster. Dealt with it all my life and now its not an issue. Having wiggle room and airflow between the toes has been life changing for me.
I do actually wear converse I have small feet and I just go up one size . I can still wear my toe spreaders in them .. I do have some zero shoes but honestly I love lifting in chucks I go bare foot with spacers the majority of my day at home with kids .. I encourage my kids to not wear shoes too . Kids also don’t need to put their toes in tight shoes all day either ! I do work on feet strength as a runner and nothing feels better then wearing spreaders after a long run .. it almost relaxes my feet ..
Converse actually have a wider toe box compared to other shoes and pretty flat soles too. Especially when you have thin long feet it's pretty comfortable to wear.
always bought "wide" shoes and never thought they lived up to it. it pays off to find ones that feel right.
Why they never live up to it
@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 it was like they were mislabeled always bunched up my toes and side of my feet. Finally found a good brand online and went with their extra wide model and they've been the best steel toes I've ever had.
It's not just your shoes. It's also how you walk, placing more pressure on the insides of your feet.
You mean walking with feet apread wide? I am wondering because I started developping bunions but I don't use any tight shoes and in fact walk barefoot most of the time.
There are studies about women in Africa who never wore shoes in their lifetime and also had this problem. So first it‘s a problem of the body and narrow shoes can make it worse.
not gonna lie. that pop noise was satisfying
Damn it was. Had to re-watch that a couple times, that sound just feels like the best combination of pain and relief ever
Same. I re-watch several times
bro was in pain
@@gsainoy pain for my satisfaction
@@babyhands1742 Sounds like an Alternative Rock boy band name lol
For years I've always worn shoes that are half a size too big. My toes have some breathing room and my shoes won't fall off while I'm walking.
No wonder shoes rarely fit me, Ive been wearing sandals since i was a kid and barely wore shoes.
If the bunion is bad enough you actually have to get surgery to have it permanently repaired, followed by wearing proper shoes. The surgery involves cutting a pie slice out of the bone and realigning it so that it fuses back together in the proper position
@zdeity3620 - That was what I had to do: have my bunions cut off.
As a kid, I wore lots of pointy-toed cowboy boots. When I grew up and worked in an office, I wore pointy-toed heels.
At approximately age 35, my feet just ached and ached. I went to see a foot doctor- he recommended foot surgery to correct my bunions.
During surgery, the foot doctor broke my feet, shaved off my bunions, inserted dissolvable screws, and straightened out my feet. No more foot pain!
But, I can’t wear pointy-toed footwear anymore. Or my toes will go back to the way that they were.
Warning!
PSA: To instantly get more flexibility in a muscle/joint & instantly reduce pain caused by tension, learn to flex against a stretch like your pets do. For bunions:
1) Grab your big toe
2) Pinch your toes together like you're holding a flip-flop/slipper/chankla
3) Maintain pinch while pulling outward
4) It should not hurt. Stop wherever feels like the end, or at the first sign of pain.
[EDIT: Clarification in 2nd comment below.]
For best results, bring your awareness to the area. FEEL your muscles squeeze and stretch. You can press and poke surrounding areas, which will improve your awareness. Don't forget to breathe during the process. When you finish, take a deeeeep breath, fully and completely relaxing as you release it. The more deeply you have been and are mentally connected with the bodypart, the better the results. Additionally, the slower the movement, the more muscle fibers have to be operated independently, which further improves the result.
All of these also contribute to greater control and coordination.
Techniques like these improve your mind-body connection and can be applied to any muscle.
If you learn anatomy, or even just looking at drawings, you will see muscles that you didn't even know you had and may never have tried to use consciously. It's as simple as focusing on bringing the bones it connects to closer together. (I personally like to alternate opposites and do a deep relax at the end, but listen to your own body and suit yourself.)
Feldenkrais Method and Thomas Hanna's Somatics are techniques/modalities that are based on these principles. You might like to look into them for movement patterns and such.
I don't get number 2. What do you mean pinch your toes like you're holding flip flops??
@@peekaboots01 Have you ever worn the kind of shoe that is just a sole with a strap that goes between your big toe and the one next to it? If they're in danger of falling off, your toes pinch together to grab the strap.
So step 1 is to put your fingers where the strap goes and step 2 is your toes pinching your fingers. Step 3 is your fingers counterpushing to pry your big toe to the side.
If you can, try to get the other 4 toes to relax during this process if you're not going to simultaneously pry them away from the big toe. The attempt to operate them separately improves your coordination, control, and results.
My Grandfather had serious bunions, he lived in India where getting shoes his size (US14) was virtually impossible.. he had worn hand sewed shoes all his life from Chinese immigrants who were shoemakers..
This video reminded me of him , a few years before him passing away , I told him that he's got Bunions. He laughed at the name Bunion! Still remember his laughter!
Om Shanti to my GrandPa , he was a good man
Genetics do actually play a factor on getting bunions which is why both my mother and my sister got bunions.
Yo but a toe stretch like that would feel epic
He's right, as a child my mom used to buy me smaller shoesand affected my toes also
This issue is blowing up recently
good
I gotta wonder, I have congenital bunions, quit literally a genetic trait from my grandma as we both have had them since babies, how much of this still applies. I'd love to avoid surgery in the future.
I don’t care if it’s ineffective. This looks like it feels amazing.
feels amazing?? bruh the person is literally moaning in pain 💀😭
@@aminaelo I believe those are moans of sweet relief.
@@knipfer454 aight 🤣🤣🤣
Do you have a recommendation for steel toe boots with wide toe boxes.
nicks boots or westco
I've never used them but I've heard good things about Birkenstock.
@@zondaboy6493 he mentioned steal toed boots and you recommend ugly hippie sandals.
@@peekaboots01 Birkenstock make steel toed boots.
@jexrutin Sievi are wider
I’ve been wearing vivo barefoot and vibrams for two years now and my toes are nicely separated. I tried normal shoes recently and it was agony. Crazy how we compress our toes and think it’s normal. Also try grounding often too. So much energy in unhindered feet and feet to earth.
You hip pinch video was a blessing kindly do one for rhomboid muscles pain i have have had this chronic pain for last two years got it while doing pull ups two years ago 😢
They have an doctor that can sue them bc on their page they have another doctor that didn’t oblige to that and she made an entire video of that
I would buy those just because I love the feeling of something in between my toes, they're smashed up against each other all day long and my dogs need their personal space
I drive truck and unless otherwise required to wear closed toe shoes, I wear sandals or flip flops weather permitting. I've noticed significant changes since wearing them, especially thin soles, while not comfortable for long standing, I have sure grip and balance, control of my center of gravity and far fewer back aches.
New Fear Unlocked: Wearing shoes 😭 lol Good video Squat U!
I wear like army boots with very wide toeboxes, but Is the high heel and high boot itself gonna have negative effects on your toes or ankles?
The heel will
My parents tried for years to make me wear slippers and shoes in the house. However I always preferred walking barefoot even to this day and my feet look like the image on the left. I have 0 problems with them. Very glad I did what felt right to me
I'm glad I found your channel because I was this close to buying one of those stupid toe stretchers lol. I took a look back at all the shoes I was wearing in the past and it blew my mind.
I was wearing my Brooks at works while I was watching your videos and I stretched my toes out inside my shoe and now I realize that the majority of my heel pain is because, while my shoes have space for my toes to spread, my toes have such muscle memory that now I have to consciously stretch my toes out.
Love that "don't recommend channel" button
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’ve got horrible bunions and I’ve worn sandals all my life. Never tight shoes.
My big toe crosses perfectly under the second toe and I get the WORST PAIN ful blisters that continue to re occur !! I just read someone here mention wearing crocs as they have the big toe box, what an awesome suggestion I NEVER thought of! I have a pair I’m going to try now.. I’m facing another ankle fusion (1 collapsed and had surgery now the other one is collapsing n I’m getting surgery next fall) so I have other issues going on and getting a bunionectomy on that foot is not an option for me in the near future..Can only get just so much recuperation time off from work..
These foot problems are a nightmare!!!! Thank you for your suggestions folks👍🏼
Had a couple of foot problems unrelated to bunions (though my bunions were a product of the same issue). Discovered wide shoes fit me better on accident and my feet have slowly been recovering. Similarly, while my bunions haven't gotten better, they haven't gotten worse either.
Why do we even *make* shoes that shape?
I have bunionettes and this is due to me having very wide feet as a female. Most shoes do not have enough width to fit my feet and oftern the side of my foot buldges out the side of the shoe. I often get pain with certain shoes too. This had been a lifelong struggle, as most kids shoes do not come in a wide veraion! I have to look at mens shoes as an adult as thats all that I can seem to find wide enough without having to get special/ specific shoes that cost hundreds of dollars. I hate shoe shopping so much and usually just get mesh trainers as they are stretchy.
I have bunionettes too. They sound cuter than bunions 😄 But yeah, I feel ya. When I wear trainers I buy the same size (7) but buy mens. Mens Nikes (which is what I usually wear) are cut wider than a womans size 7 Nike. Same with most brands I think.
It means it's harder to find nice colours but the comfort is worth it.
Bunions CAN be an inherited trait. There are several different conditions that can be inherited and can increase the chance of bunions. I was in elementary or middle school by the time I had bunions and it runs in my family, along with the genetic polysyndactly I have that effects my hands. I wish he didn't completely negate the fact that some people literally have no control over bunions forming. It had nothing to do with shoes for me.
I agree. Same for me
Aside from work, I typically only wear flip flops when I go anywhere. Pretty much the same as your recommendation at the end
How do you find wider shoes?
BS I never wear narrow shoes
What if you have this but also wear the widest shoes they make?
Shoes aren't necessary the cause of the bunions. Rear ankle instability is what actually allows the foot to deform to the shoe. You need to (kinda) lock the foot bones together. If I recall it's the first day that needs to be held together. If you don't use your foot muscles and when you walk and you are over pronated you're rear foot will be unstable. This will allow peoples toes to deform, but more importantly it will allow that first metatarsal to deviate inwards. A foot can only be corrected as long as your your first metatarsal head doesn't cross the line of the muscles that abduct the big toe (Abductor hallicus, flexor hallicus brevis). Once that happens your abductors will adduct the toe and the whole thing spirals out of control. Most surgeons don't seem to do a good job of fixing it.
I've had one of mine operated on & I asked how I have them. My mother has them and my daughter has terrible bunions. I was told it IS hereditary. There were studies in countries where shoes are not normally worn & some of these people had bunions. My granny had them, my sisters have them. There's a very long line of women in my family who have them. And I didnt wear tight shoes growing up either
There very clearly *is* a genetic component to bunion formation. It's multifacetted and complex, yes, but what he says is essentially a lie.
Same here! Women on my mom and Dad’s side have bunions. I never wore narrow shoes and still have always had a bunion on one foot, so I believe it’s hereditary, but of course not the case for everyone
Theres a reason i get wides and always a size bigger when i got shoes
Hate narrow shoes, walk barefooted at home, wear sandals alot, no heels but i have hallux valgus and my podiatrist said its genetic so i have to wear orthotics everyday now.
correct toes really work! i ordered a pair and saw and felt and difference
this is not true! I have worn tellic sandals designed especially for bunions for the past 5 years. they absolutely do not squish my toes. and in that five years I have watched my bunions grow bigger. I'm tired of hearing doctor after doctor say it's due to tight shoes. there is something else going on here that they don't understand yet.
I agree.
Bunions are genetic. What you claim is BS. They originate because of a hallux valgus. And the hallux valgus exists and increases through three factors: genetic, foot deformity static/dynamic and enviromental factors (e.g. shoes).
Anatomically in genetic patients the first metatarsal stands in a varus position, usually combined with a shortened first ray. Statically the pulling force from the extensor and flexor of the hallux come from the lateral side of the tibia. This forces the insertion part on the distal phalanx to pull the toe in valgus like a string on a bow. Because of the shortened first ray the foot hyperpronates in de midtarsal joint. Thus creating hyperpressure on the fist ray also increasing the hallux valgus.
You cant anatomically fix the pulling forces of tendons. So focus on restoring foot function with orthotics and finally focus on shoes. Trust me, i am a podatrist.
Those small ones slip out of place though
I've subscribed to ur channel for a daily reminder of why should I avoid wearing narrow shoes.
Also, I don't understand why the brand's and designers keep making these narrow shoes in 1st place
Hmmm so everyone should just not wear shoes INSIDE their homes and let them have barefoot. I'm Asian so not sure if all west still wore shoes inside tho. Anyway I just find it more comfortable being barefooted and running or walking in our house.
America is just weird in many ways
As a European i cannot imagine that some ppl keep their shoes at home 🤨
@@adrozz2120 and even sleep with them on 🤢
and people wonder why I prefer to go barefoot unless absolutely necessary especially since i have allodynia (neurological skin condition) which just adds a whole other level on top of the damage shoes can do to your feet and can make even the feeling of socks or shoe materials incredibly painful. Wearing shoes, or certain types of fabrics/styles of clothing can feel like pins & needles, extreme itchiness, or like my skin is on fire. Seams, rivets, belt loops, tags, & elastic bands tend to be the biggest hotspots but a pair of tight fitting socks, or the stiff top edge of shoe can make standing and walking unbearable Eben for short periods. When I do wear shoes I'm super careful/picky about what I choose to put on my feet. I've been known to garden and do animal chores or drive equipment etc on our rescue farm in my bare feet I just clean my feet well before I go inside. The only time I wear shoes on our property is when I know I'm going to be using tools where my feet need to be protected like shovels, chainsaws, brush cutters, weed wackers, etc. Safety first!
Finally! A podiatrist that publicly explains the real problem - narrow shoes/toe boxes.
What if i wear this for 8 hours while sleeping and then wear my toe spacers and wide toebox shoes all day?
They may not help in the long run but they cracks are *exquisite*
Considering majority of the population are wearing the same shoes yet only a minority experience bunions, I believe many have a genetic predisposition for bunions.
I started developing them before I started wearing shoes for school. So logically it couldn’t be a shoe adaptation. And I’m not an anomaly.
Ouch that looks painful 😢
What the thing called that the guy was using to fix his bunion
Why tf I the original video guy gasping like he’s being tortured ?
Because he is.
I suffer from this problem after I broke my foot 10 years ago however I realized that wearing high heels after I removed my cast immediately now the bunion accord about 2 years ago I bought the same product did help not for so long. Thank you
Due was about to buss in the first few seconds of that vid
i dont like that everyone is suddenly talking about feet
Why is this getting recommended to me???
Yt has a don't recommend channel feature, just use that instead of asking dumb shit in the comments, because engaging with the video isn't going to help your case
Can you do a video on the “Vulcan sign”? When I flex my toes, my 2nd metatarsal will go towards my big toe while the 3-5th will track normally, this leaves a V shape between the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal
It may be caused by shoes, but it also has a genetic aspect.
I looked at pictures of my feet from childhood and they do not have the wide spread like you seem to want everyone to have.
I think your concept of a natural foot is not so natural
Did you wear shoes more than not as a child?
Maybe, just maybe, wear shoes less often?
This worked well for me but only because I no longer have a full time job. If you have to work, it’s pretty impossible to avoid depending on the job
@@Jade-ku2vz yeah nothing beyond a super casual office or working from home would guarantee this. Some jobs require women to wear heels and men to wear dress shoes. Both of which have very narrow toe boxes.
I usually get shoes that give my toes room to spread out a bit, if they make them curve to the shape of the shoe then I'd consider them too small
I never wear narrow shoes and I have them.
So what shoes do I need to wear??? Help
You can look for anything that says natural or wide toe box. Alternatively, looking for "barefoot" shoes usually works too. Altra, vivo barefoot, xero shoes, any kind of open toe sandal. There's a website called Anya's reviews where there's reviews of tons more brands and styles from a "barefoot" runner.
@@lepus6511 thank you so much
What is the name of the product at the end?
Toe spreader or toe spacer
Correct toes is the actual product name
@@isorides Is that a good brand to get? I’ve seen them online and the price is not a factor for me personally. If they work well then I’ll gladly pay the $65!
@@soonerborn7603 they're pretty good. I would also accompany them with a pair of barefoot minimalist shoes like vivo barefoot. I've been wear the correct toes and vivos for about 4 months now and there a noticable gap between my first and second toes. Plus much more toe dexterity too
@@isorides I guess I’ll finally break down and get the correct toes then. And I’ll have to look into some of those shoes! My toes are terrible and I feel like it’s affecting everything up the kinetic chain…
I learned about this 2 years ago. I wish I knew decades ago but I don't know if wide box shoes were made until recent years. Working in the service industry in my youth is when I started having to stand for hours on end in closed-box shoes that flattened my arch causing hyper pronation of my ankle bone causing the arch on my feet to collapse creating a rippling effect from my feet to my mid-back. When I first started using them I go horrible pain in my left knee, this was the worst side than the right one. I think because the tendons that were supposed to be stretched normally were retracted and when the bones aligned this caused them to stretch more than they had in decades, it took 4 weeks but the pain went away and I don't have any issues with my feet anymore wearing toe socks, toe separators, and wide box shoes. They are called different things Minimalist shoes, barefoot shoes, etc... I use the same exact type of toe separator that he shoes in the video.
What I did that helped me a lot was the conditioning from tai chi where I learned to drag your toe open in the ground when you put your feet in the ground (they do that for extra stability). It became second nature to do it when I stopped moving so the toes are most of the day pulled apart (I do keep barefoot most of th day as well since I work in home office).
Anyone know any good shoes that are wider in the toes and actually look cute???
Try looking for tennis shoes.
Try looking for tennis shoes.
Just look up wide fit shoes. It's a whole category
Vivobarefoot
Barefoot shoes, Altra, Xero shoes, Birkenstock.
I would love for you to talk about high arched feet
This is why I don't where shoes most do the time and where comfortable leather boots with plenty of room in the inside when I go places.
I'm so glad I've got wide shoes
This man is revolutionizing the foot industry
He’s full of it. There are kids that have bunions . Born with them!
Agree with you on that. I never wore shoe in my life until age 14! I was mostly barefoot indoors and wore flip flops outdoors. It's genetic and MOSTLY carried through mother's side. I have bunion, started to visible at around age 12. I've seen people weaving pointy shoes whole life and no bunions. Fun fact no ballet dancers have bunions although they all wear pointy shoes.
Babies born with them? Who is full of it?
I guess the random youtube comment knows more than an actual doctor. Got it
But do note this is not the cause of bunions in the vast majority of cases. Being born with them is a very rare occurrence and most of what a doctor is going to deal with are people who developed them into adulthood as a result of footwear
@@LuxEternis there is a grain of truth in there, though. Look up Juvenile hallux valgus
i dont have any of the issues above feet are fine no bunions no pain with narrow shoes i think it might just be people with wide ass feet that have a problem like this
So thankful that in all my pairs of boots my toes have room to move
Bruh
Im pretty sure they do it cuz it gives a sense of relief.
Doubt they figure they fixing anything long term lol
This is why all my shoes are 3 sizes too big.
Is wearing toe spacers going to help an Hallucis abductor tendon heal after a partial tear at the site of insertion? There was also a small fracture inside the joint. I might have been walking on it for 8 months before going to the doctor...
Are there good steeltoe work boots that dont smash my toes together
The better part of this last year, I've not had to wear tight shoes, and I must say my feet just feel better overall
What's the name of the product you recommend? Where can we get it?
I try and wear my toe spacers as much as I can, but I also have to wear boots for 10 hours at a time
I just get wide toe shoes and xl socks
That sounds satisfying. I don’t have those problems,I just want to purchase the product.
Similar devices do work to get it all started. It works just like toe spacers. You can accelerate the process by using things like this and toe spacers. They work. Period. Wide toe box and toe spacers have helped immensly.
