"Until I met Jessica, she was in denial about her feet bubions, but after meeting her and checking out her bare feet, it was one of the first things I mentioned. Note to men : this is a really poor icebreaker!
"But I was forgiven, and I was right. Her shoes, even her most comfortable pair, were pushing her toes inward, particularly squeezing her biggest and smallest toes."
This is not the natural shape of the foot, and bunions are not hereditary. Instead, it's our feet directly adapting to the shape of our environment.
But why the bunion? The bony callus on the side of your foot is a protective mechanism, trying to get the shoe off your toes to give the toes more room to breathe and move properly.Over time that bunion can become quite painful if you don't heed its warning and give your feet the room they need.
Bunions, however are reversible! Once you begin taking your feet out of their medieval torture devices - your shoes, your feet begin to return to their natural shape, without bunions. Walking barefoot can be corrective for bunions in helping wake up the foot.
As Dr. Ray McClanahan, a leading podiatrist in the Northwest, put it this way, foot surgery, like that for bunions, typically isn't corrective surgery, but cosmetic surgery, done to help you feet fit into fashionable footwear. If you are willing to go barefoot, you can help correct your bunion naturally for free.
