My Foot Function

Can you spot the changes?

Your feet can improve, just like any other body part, not only functionally, but the way they look.

How do we know that?
Because you, our viewers & customers are doing this each and every day.. you are an inspiration!

We are starting to receive a lot of these comparison images now - THANK YOU, this should encourage you that you can change your feet! We’ve taken it 1 step further & introduced a new chapter within new workshops where we encourage an image is uploaded each month.

Thank you to the owner of the feet:


We are also launching our new website during June & community is the theme, with sections there to share your personal stories which we believe will help so many in their journey.

Some shoes just don’t fit.

Feet are intended to move, flex, propel, stabilise.. and a shoe MUST allow for all of this, not to restrict.

Bunions = misinformation!

Bunions aren’t fun, but tackling them should be simple. There are certain things that cannot be overlooked & below are the basic principles to improving your bunions shape & pain.

Time & patience:
Bunions do not form over night, & the longer you’ve had them, the longer it will take to reverse/ improve them. We try to focus on function first & in many (majority not minority), shape is improved greatly.

Exercise:
Daily exercise, massage & taking attention to your individual bunions is a must. No bunion (in your opinion) is the same, so getting to know them is ideal.

Tools:
Simple tools / equipment for us are ideal if you can.. because, we see results quicker for individuals using tools daily. Tools such as Toe Spacers, Mini-Bands & massage balls.

Shoes:
Your bunion or/& bunionettes need room to move.. if you have restrictive footwear which also includes sneakers, boots, training shoes etc, you’ll keep that bunion in its preferred place.

Switching footwear is essential.

See the video we’ve attached, where by the shoes are “made for bunions”, we would argue that these shoes will never allow a bunion to improve.

You can learn everything you need to know plus have the tools included in our Bunion Bundle, head over to our website then click on Bundles within our shop menu.

Why Avoid Toe Springs?

Many people think training shoes = good daily shoes. But have you ever looked at what your foot is actually doing inside them?

That upward curve at the front (aka the toe spring) forces your big toe into constant dorsiflexion.

⚠️ Over time, this can:
- Limit big toe mobility
- Alter natural gait mechanics (the way we walk)
- Shift pressure away from the toes
- Weaken your foot’s stability and strength
- Lead to imbalances up the chain (think knees, hips, back)

Your toes are meant to press into the ground, not hover above it.

💡 For long-term foot health, opt for shoes with:
✔️ A flat sole
✔️ Roomy toe box
✔️ No forced toe spring

Your feet were designed brilliantly. Most shoes are not.

“It’s genetics”

This is something we hear so often but after scanning 1,000’s of feet & studying populations in more than 5 countries, we can say; the shoes are the problem.

Genetics absolutely play a role, but if the shoes weren’t present or foot shaped shoes were worn, would dysfunction even exist?

This tribe showcased this very well, with footwear being introduced later in life.

Adult men (shoe wearing) = lots of dysfunction
Woman (non shoe wearing) = almost 0 dysfunction
Children (non shoe wearing) = no dysfunction

Let us stop this, choose the shoes for the younger generation wisely, they will thank you for it, later in life.

Have an AWESOME weekend

What exercises are most appropriate for your foot type?

Generally there are two common foot types or compensation we see; an overly “supinated” or so-called rigid-foot and an overly “pronated” or weak-foot. Depending on what foot type you have it is important to apply a specific set of exercises targeted at improving the specific areas of the foot that will help you re-align your foot posture in a more neutral position, or at-least where you can actively create that position when needed.

Observe the images above and ideally try to take pictures of your feet in the angles shown, in a weight bearing position to see if you foot is more like one or the other.

With a weak foot, we typically see the feet pointing outward, and the ankle bowing inward excessively. Whereas with a rigid-foot we see the forefoot turning inward and the ankle bowing outwards.

There are exercises that may stimulate the foot to further compensate in this manner. For example a rigid-foot that is forced into a position where the foot naturally wants to create an arch, may be more counterproductive than beneficial to start with.

This is why we’ve created specific workshops based on your foot type, where we teach you how to assess your feet, identify where you need to start, and improve your foot function in a progressive, and specific manner to your needs and goals.

Be sure to train your feet, in accordance to their needs. If your lost on what to do, feel free to DM us (after liking this post 😆) & we’ll guide you in the right direction.

Improve Toe Mobility: A 6-Step Guide!

We are DELIGHTED to hear that this post alone has helped so many of you, for that reason it’s being shared again (& again)! Dedicated just 5 mins per foot each day, you’ll feel relief after performing these moves 😊

Struggling with stiff, immobile toes?
Discover a practical and effective 6-step guide designed to boost your toe mobility, providing you with a path towards improved flexibility and strength. 💪

Step 1: Hold your foot with one hand and pull your toes away from the toe joints, repeat this for all toes.

Step 2: Bend your lesser toes and big toe in opposite directions, as far as you can, making sure your lesser toes are flattened for full lengthening of the extensors.

Step 3: Stabilise your foot and with your other hand, pull your big toe away from your 2nd toe.

Step 4: Pull out your big toe and gently rotate the toe to decompress the joint.

Step 5-6: Get as many fingers you a between your toes, starting with the 1st and 2nd toe, then gently move your toes in a circular motion.

Incorporate this structured routine into your daily schedule, dedicating both morning and evening sessions to this essential practice.

Lock in 7 days & see how your feet feel after this period! ☺️

Don’t Let Bunions Hold You Back!

Are your toes starting to lean inwards? It might be the early stages of bunions. But fear not! With the right exercises, you can turn the tide and reclaim your foot health. Just ask the thousands who’ve found success with our workshops each year!

🔍 Take a look at the stages of bunions in the images above. Do your feet resemble any of them? If so, it’s not too late to start your journey towards better foot function. Let’s reverse the trend together!


Image explained:

- The image resembles the 4 major stages of bunions.
- The red resembles the common pain areas

Do you have pain in these areas?

“Wide Fit”? Or False Fit? 😳

Shoe companies love to slap “Wide Fit” on their products… but let’s be honest:

Pointed toed shoes only crush the natural shape of your feet

👉 This isn’t wide.
👉 This isn’t functional.
👉 And it’s leaving people in pain.

🔎 In these images, you can see the difference between marketing and reality:

❌ “Wide Fit” shoes that taper and deform the toes.

✅ True Fit shoes that actually match the natural shape of the human foot.

The Truth: False advertising is hurting people—literally. It’s making dysfunction worse and normalising pain & it’s been going on for too long!

The Question: Do brands not know better… or do they just not care?

🔥 Call to Action:
It’s time to demand foot-shaped shoes from all brands!
It’s time to stop accepting “bunion-building shoes” as the norm.
It’s time to choose footwear that truly fits.

Tag a friend who still thinks “wide fit” means healthy fit.
