Plantar fasciitis can make something as simple as walking to the kitchen feel like a challenge. If you’re dealing with heel pain, there is probably one question at the top of your list: how long does plantar fasciitis last? Unfortunately, the answer varies. For some people, symptoms improve within a few weeks or months. For others, plantar fasciitis can take several months to settle. 

A bunion often starts small. Perhaps you notice a slight bump at the side of your big toe. Your shoes may feel a bit tighter than they used to. Or your big toe seems to be moving towards the others. Over time, a bunion can become more noticeable. But how does it actually develop? Bunions are often described in four stages, from mild changes to a more pronounced bunion. Let’s discuss what happens at each stage.

If you have a bunion, taking your shoes off can feel like an instant relief. No seams pressing against the side of your foot, no tight toe box and plenty of room for your toes. But does that mean walking barefoot is actually good for bunions? The short answer: it depends. Walking barefoot can give your toes more freedom, but whether it feels comfortable depends on your feet, the surface you’re walking on and how much support you need.

A day out, a walk into town or simply getting on with everything you have planned. Your feet take you everywhere you need to go.

After all, pain-free walking is something you deserve every day.

If you’ve got a bunion, you’ll know that finding the right shoes can feel like a bit of a mission. Comfortable shoes aren’t stylish, stylish shoes aren’t comfortable around your bunion.

Bunions are stubborn things. That bony bump at the base of your big toe can sneak up on you and make every step uncomfortable. Really, the only solution is surgery. However, there are some things you can do to make your life a whole lot more comfortable. Let’s check them out.

Let’s be honest: bunions are not exactly on anyone’s wishlist. That bony bump at the base of your big toe can sneak up on you – and once it’s there, it doesn’t simply disappear. But here’s the good news: there’s plenty you can do to prevent bunions (or at least slow them down).

You might notice it one day while slipping out of your shoes at the end of the day. A small bump at the base of your big toe. A bit red, a bit tender. Not dramatic… yet. That “pesky bump” is often the very first sign of a bunion (also known as hallux valgus). The good news? If you spot the signs early, you can make simple changes that keep your feet happy for years to come.
