Amazingly helpful, thank you!!
Firstly, Wonderful video as always! You consistently share such invaluable information that goes a long way in helping us regain quality of life and health.
I’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis for roughly three years now (in both feet), terribly fallen arches, severe top of the foot pain in my right foot, a developing bunion in my right great toe and have recently developed what research is suggesting to be bunionettes on my pinky toes. I’ve noticed I have completely lost the ability to spread them to the side and when I try to do my toe spreading exercises daily, they seem to be adhered to my fourth toe and I can’t isolate movement in them anymore. Already this is having a huge negative impact on my feet pain and balance to name a few things.
I already go fully barefoot around my home and am trying to save up for barefoot shoes as due to my weight issues, I haven’t been able to use the current Altras I have (my weight shifts my feet out to the side and my feet slide around in the shoes which makes it literally impossible to walk properly). My past Doctor told me my feet are very wide due to having been heavy my entire life and that I can’t expect them to ever function properly and to expect things to get worse and worse as the years go on.
I refuse to accept this quality of life death sentence if you will and am working on losing unhealthy weight and trying to work on healing my feet as I know this will go a long way in improving my overall health. All this to ask (please forgive the comment length) is it possible for you to make a video on bunionettes (or sometimes incorrectly referred to as tailor’s bunions)? It’s an area I am still very ignorant in and would so appreciate your expertise! Thanks so much! Keep up the excellent work and spreading of truth!
This is so helpful! Thank you. I was going to order size 8 Origo shoes but, because of my bunions, the feet are too wide. This has been a problem for me for years and all my shoes stretch out at the bunions. I could use sandals for the summer, but closed shoes and runners are a major problem.
it is amazing and very usefull video for our health. Very sad that the fashion industry does not respect the human body nature and design cloths and shoes that only damage our health. i recently purchased my first barefoot pair of shoes and the feeling is really extraordinary.
Laughs in corset
Maybe you should show this video to the ones in fashion industry and they might care? Just because someone has no clue and is totally dis-attached from nature, doesn't mean they disrespect...? They don't have to know everything. Same goes for all people.
Where can i find this ?
Great info. One of the best videos on this. I’m 53, and noticed my mom and dad both had bunions and hammer toes
fantastic video. you put into a video many of the things that I had learnt the long hard way myself
Been using this advice for not quite 3 months. It has reduced my bunions significantly, & improved my foot and ankle mobility. The shoe company that works best for me in the US is Lems. Highly suggest trying them on as they can run short in length for a given shoe size.
This is great content. Thank you so much. I have a question though. Until five years ago I had a tendancy towards a bunion but never had any pain or gave it any thought. I then dropped a plate on the toe joint and it turned into a full-on bunion. I then started using barefoot shoes and toe separaters and for five years it didn't get worse. It was fine. And then last week, opening the boot of my car, a heavy plastic box fell onto my bunion. And now it is painful and has got bigger. I absolutely loved this video and will start doing some of the exercises you mention. But does it make sense to you that my bunion should get worse after dropping something on it. Is this a form of arthritis? Which I don't have anywhere else in my body, though I might have if I didn't eat a clean diet. Thank you again for the video. I will be buying some of your packages.
Thank you! Best video I’ve seen for healing bunions and very hopeful and encouraging.
Can these exercises be used on small toe that is migrating towards big toe? And how so?
We do need same video for little toe. So much more difficult to deal with comparing to big toe :-(
@@matulostyle big toe is overrated
lets go pinky
I was waiting for this video for quite a while now....
thank you so very much
Excellent video, I need to start doing more of these exercises, just wearing FiveFingers is not enough to correct my small bunion.
I like this no-harm approach. I’ve got work to do!
Excellent explanation of the importance of foot strength. Delivered with so much examples and great strategies to improve our foot strength. Excellent job as always.
Wäre schön wenn ich das in deutsch hören könnte
This is outstanding!
I think one of the only reasons I'm able to fully bend my toes back is because of an Aikido class I took in college (10 yrs ago). It hurt like heck the first 8 times I did it, but i stretch my toes like that a couple times a day now and it helps sooo much !!
This was one of the most informative videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you 🤍
❤I agree 200% have been watching various videos on foot strengthening exercises as well as posture correction, scoliosis exercise but his videos are yet the best possible with visual and verbal explanations looking to fallowing him to help me with the excruciating suffering resulting from largely year of non functional - destructive conventional medical care 😢😢
Ohhh this is gonna be super helpful.
Barefoot Strength
I'm liking your videos a LOT, and I just ordered a couple of pairs of shoes from companies you recommended. I already have one pair of barefoot shoes, and I'm using them more and more for daily wear and my daily walk.
In this video, you recommend toe socks and you close by saying you'll include a link to a recommendation. I have a couple of pair of toe socks, but my pinky toe doesn't really fit well - too much extra material bunching up. But I only see links for toe spacers. Am I missing something? Thanks!
Amazing explanation & benefit! Thank you!
Great video, Thanks.
Just what we needed
Great video. Thanks
Excellent!
Thank you
Great content, thank you 👍🏼
Clear and informative .
This is a wonderful wonderful video! Thank you!
Thank you for another very helpful video. I'm in the UK, can you suggest some good toe socks to wear around the house? Merry Christmas!
I like injinji brand! They have a wool option
My big toe is fine, can you do a video on the little toe as I'm getting a bunion on both feet please.
Based on what I’ve observed, shoes with a wide toe box will help with that. I’d also look at the feet as a system that can get out of alignment. The exercises he suggested for one side of the foot are likely good for the whole foot.
Where do u get toe spacers
understand from many videos that all your suggestion are correct... wearing heavy duty socks in the house started my bunion issue . . . wear only thin ones now and gonna order toe socks.
can also practice the spreading of toes exercise + ordering toe spacers. TU most sincerely . . .
So in the part at 2:03 with releasing that tight muscle, you're massaging the top of the foot. Is that diagram showing the muscles a top view or bottom?
That is a top view! You can massage on top of the foot in that area he shows in the video
Where are you finding good toe socks? I’ve struck out with each Amazon purchase so far.
Is it possible to wear silicone toe spreaders with the toe socks. I feel this could be a conflict of interest. Maybe they have to be worn separately?
А для профилактики надо носить проставки для ног? У меня еще нет шишек, но у мамы были.
Thank you for the video! What about tailor's bunion (digitus quintus varus) where it is the little toe that's the issue, is it the exactly the same approaches and exercises or are there any differences?
Bro! thanks for the info! 😊
I have a very small foot, size 5. Where can I find silicone toe spacers to fit in shoes that will fit a small foot. I’m in canada
I love barefoot shoes freedom for my toes. Thank you for the video.
Great video.
What size ball should we use for the Toe Flexion exercise?
Soccer ball size
@@austinjoseph2881 TYSM!
My problem with most barefoot shoes is that my feet are not shaped like his. My 2nd and 3rd toes are longer than or as long as my big toe. I love my Birkenstock sandals but have to breakdown the front lip slightly to accommodate those toes. I have the same problem with toe socks. The toe sleeves aren't long enough for those toes.
Thank you for such a great video
I did an experiment where I put spaces on both feet but only massaged one foot. I could wear my spacers for longer on the massaged foot. The non-massaged foot was in pain due to wearing the spacers.
Thanks for sharing the info.
I am thankful for your content. Almost everyone has a bunion in my family and I was made to believe it was a genetic issue. I am 33 and I always wore tight shoes as I have narrow feet. I really thought the narrower, the better even if it made my feet hurt. But I recognize my feet in a lot of issues mentioned in the video : not a lot of toe flexion, tight muscles, fallen arch... No doctor ever mentioned anything else than wearing personalised insoles that never solved anything. So I just ordered my first pair of barefoot shoes and toe spacers and will create a routine of exercises. THANK YOU!
Any difference yet?
What are your recommendations for a more substantial hiking boot?
www.vivobarefoot.com/uk/tracker-ii-fg-womens-ss22
Lems has great boots
Very informative video on bunions
Where can you buy the toe spacer?
I found them on Amazon!
I get all that! And have started to fix , but I have to have cushioned shoes as I have a mortons neuroma.
Where can you find the kind of rubber band you use at 6:25 minutes into the video?
Thanks!
Completely flat shoes gave me plantis faciatus. How do I prevent that?
No link for toe socks?
I’m an Altra girl no doubt. But feel I should take the SLOW GRADUAL shift to vivos. I tried vibrams 2 years ago and went too hard too fast the got hurt and was turned off to barefoot shoes. Gotta transition slow and steady this time 😊
Where is the link of the socks? Thank you.
Thank you!
I have big bunions and I cannot walk barefoot because I need lot of cushion at the ball f the feet please advise how to fix this without surgery.
Thank you God bless great video 🙏
Please make a video about the other side as well. Its called the Tailor's bunion. Just below the pinky toe.
Thankyou very much, from Mauritius 👋🙋♀️
I am so grateful for you & your information on bunions! You are so spot on!! I have viewed some of your previous videos...purchased toe spacers (definitely helping especially in shoes), ordering toe socks (which I wore yrs. ago) Long story short, I am now working w/a trainer. No surprise here as my issues are: weak Glutes, tight ankles, weak feet muscles! And yes, running made it worse. I can now hike and walk w/the spacers. I will postpone running a little longer. Taichi is no longer painful in stocking feet (w/spacers) which I feel are getting stronger. I didn't realize how weak my feet were until I had to come up on the ball of one foot transfer weight with a turn to the other foot. Very challenging, if not impossible sometimes. It has been 3 months and I am just now able to to do these movements, a lot better. My next step is to buy these types of shoes and get rid of my orthotics (even though I now have less aggressive ones). I will also be adding those exercises that you suggested as well! Thanks for all you do continue to do for people like me! 🤗
INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!! Do take care.
If i do surgery will i be able to run ? Cross country
Thanks great video. Saw this morning that left big toe is a lot more out of alignment when barefoot running.
Really... I need to buy new socks now? =(
I had toe socks as a kid! I loved them 🥰
Can I find steel toe shoes like this?
Where will come and fix?
There’s no link in the description below on the toe socks.
Sorry about that. Here you go, its under barefoot accessories: www.amazon.com/shop/exercisinghealth/
Love the content! I’d love to see a similar video for exercises for a Tailor’s bunion (pinky toe). Big toe always gets all the attention! #pinkytoesmatter
Super cute :-)
True. Also tailor’s bunions are easier to treat.
Может поможет миостимуляция током? Куда приложить электроды? Чтобы натренировать
Мышцу, оттопыривающую большой палец.
I watched a great video that showed that if your foot does not fit on the insole of your shoe if your toes spray over it then you're wearing too narrow shoes.
thank you Outstanding
Where do you find shoes to accommodate your toes . Where do you find wide toe box shoes it seems like everything is so narrow
Hi where can find this meterle I haver change my big finger I liven in belief I haver problems in my foot thanks
My fav part of your videos is whenever you show babies hahaha
I noticed just now that my left foot toe is hurting and is forming bunion so i bought the toe separator but it hurts too much on all the other toe fingers so i bought the one called Epitaft but after two days of wearing it my foot skin got rushes due to the plastic that covers the medicinal thing that was inside the Epitaft so i stoped using it. I always used flat shoes that are not tight to my feet because i hate tight shoes but i wonder why my left foot biggest toe is developing its bunion and it hurts too much not as soon i touch and follow your way of exercises. What else can i do aside from your advices? I’m 69
Well delivered, super comprehensible! Thanks a million!! It means a lot to have hope again when pain wears you down all day long. Keep up the good work and the mission.
Is that possible to fix bunions after 67 years old?
I need to know as well
At any time, any age. The body is very intelligent and regenerates itself and heals itself, it only needs clear direction and precise task at hand. Thats your job 👌💯💯 good luck 🙏✨️
Or 70'? :/
Or 80?
Nah, yall done for fr ☠️
I've been wearing barefoot shoes for about 1 year now and feel better, but also seem to have plateau'd. I'd love to see you guys do a video on grounding/earthing and how it affects the health of the feet & posture in general. There are tonnes of great health claims but so far I haven't seen any foot-specific videos.
How you going to make this video on fixing feet and then immediately wear toe spacers upside down? Derp
Cheers
I like Origo shoes but why should these type of shoes always look casual and sporty? Please designers, create shoes that are healthy, comfortable but also look smart and elegant and even chic! I grew up in Italy in the 70s and shoes had a larger toebox than those in the UK where I now live. It's always a struggle to find beautiful, elegant, smart shoes that don't restrict my toes, yet this shouldn't be the case, it's just a gap that I hope more designers will fill as personally I don't like to wear trainer-type shoes, I am not keen on the sporty look.
Great feet man! 🐾🔥

Mom: don’t worry just bend in the shoes it’ll adjust
But nah I just realized the shoes are adjusting us 🥲
6:05 Genius
I Know this Might Sound like a Lie, But till This Video, I have Never Seen a Foot with That Much Hair on it.
0:33 that’s insane jogging in yeezys like that wtf

I'd appreciate an alternative option or at least an reply
Hi. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please reach out to the team again. I have notified them and they are expecting your email.
Thanks for the elaborate video.. once you watch about bunions, it's scary to see how many of them have this issue..
I have 2 questions about these.
1. What are good formal shoes for bunions, for women. Most shoes have narrow toe box so finding the right shoe is a challenge?
2. A friend of mine had a swelling and pain in the big toe joint and one of the things the doctor suggested was not to have any protein powder since high amino acids after 40 can also be a cause for such swelling. Have you heard anything about this or what are you thoughts?
Thanks a lot
Where can I buy splinters Ang toe correctors my two feet have toe bunions pls reply I am from philippines
Goodvvidu
What is the role of Vitamin D in FOOT Health??
Am i the only one with children who have worn good shoes (children always do) have bunyans? 2 of my teenagers for sure but theyve had them for years.
i heard high amounts of sugar in the system can cause them
i try it doesn’t help the only thing is surgery and i don’t think it’s good for 70 years old
You cut holes in your shoes for your bunions to be free, wear arch supports and your feet don’t hurt.
She said once: "you are aproaching bunion country"
1:00 dammm bro that baby feet soooo cute 🥰😍🤩😘 soo much cutipie baby kuchi kuchi baby, small that the cameraman or woman's hand fits both the kuchi kuchi baby's feet.
