Stop Walking if You Have Bunions

For those with bunions, walking and running may worsen the condition. Weak feet and collapsed arches are common characteristics of feet with bunions, and every step taken applies more strain to the bunion. Low-impact workouts such as swimming and cycling, along with toe alignment and foot arch strengthening exercises, can help improve the condition of the feet so that you can return to your daily step count without worrying about worsening your bunions.

Thank you! Going barefoot has been a whole journey.. I started in October....got my Primus Lite Vivo Barefoots and instantly fell in love with the way they feel on foot....but when I tried going for a run wearing them I got some kind of ankle injury...I was trying to do the fore foot strike and my feet seized right up...then I saw your video about silicone toe spreaders...ordered a pair and realized that I might have bunions on my big toe and pinky toes. When I put the toe spacers on I have improved balance. Standing on one leg and squatting is WAY easier to do wearing these things....so now restoring toe alignment is my focus before I try jogging but I think I need a size up on the barefoot shoes its not comfortable to wear the toe spreaders inside them

This was really informative and the movie is a masterpiece.

[Rootstroubador]

You are literally talking to me. Thank you !

[Mega-Human]

How do you recommend to move around thoughtout the day? Or is a little walking still okay?

[johnapple]

Good to have an excuse to stop excersiing lmao

[mattjoseph]

but walking is necessary and workibg on toe alignment is the hardest task bc they just go back when u walk. painful

[Theres_No_PlanetB]

Ouch. swap off arch support shoes slowly over a month at least

[JANEYZANEY]

Does anyone with bunions have tight upper back thighs like can you do the splits? Just wondering if it is a contributing factor

[kayaqueen]

you just revealed the secret why my bunion starts to hurt like hell when i walk even i used to walk for 3 hours a day 1.5 straight twice a day, it’s because my feet was so strong now i am really weak i barely move from my place thank you

[dahlrjay]

Instructions unclear.

I've developed the power of very low altitude levitation and now people think I'm a witch. 😢

[elijahmodnar]

[dale]

I do not have that luxury. Im enlisting in the Air Force; I have to run and I’ve always had jobs in food service so on my feet always

[raghavendrasingh-a]

Ronaldo also have bunions and many athletes have bunions too

[barbarabutler]

Unless you get bunions corrected surgically you will not benefit from stopping walking. You can wear shoe arch inserts and various a toe separators. Walking for health very important.

Weak feet? Are you for real? Flat feet have proven to have its pro's as well, excellent for combat sports, your medial arch is more muscular meaning that its also prone to strengtening

[debramartin]

I'm in debilitating pain everyday

[callingdrwoodrue]

The bunion is a bone deformity. I don't think workout are going to fix a bone growth. Only way to fix it is surgery

[charlespayne]

Wish i could but im an athlete:( i guess i will have bunions forever

[randombutspecific]

Misinformation. Bunions are bone structures that are largely genetic.

😂 since when is exertion of swimming be compared to biking. Swimming is so much harder.
