[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yoga toes and other types of bunion correction devices don’t cure the bunion. The bunion happens from structural issues in your foot that affect the way you stand and walk. Wearing shoes that are roomy, provide adequate arch support and don’t force your weight onto the front of your foot can reduce the severity of bunions and even delay their formation, but bunions happen even if you wear sensible shoes and stay at a healthy weight (obviously extra weight carried on your feet affects the way you walk and stand). About 1/3 of people get bunions, it’s a very common condition. Some people get relief from podiatric foot therapy/massage that helps them to walk more naturally. Bunions can recur after surgical intervention, so bear that in mind.[/quote]

Okay. Posts like this are bewildering--full of certitude you do not possess.

Yoga toes and other types of bunion devices may not have fixed your bunions--they have, however, corrected my feet issues and I don't have the bunions anymore. Going from having them and a Dr. recommending surgery on both sides of both feet to having no visible bunion constitutes a cure to me.

And, as you say, bunions can recur after surgery. So surgery may not cure bunions, either.

If I had to pick between spending 20 bucks on yoga toes and [b]maybe[/b] fixing a problem or going straight to getting my bones shaved down, I'd try the less invasive approach every time, even if I ended up eventually needing the surgery. It would be a bummer to have them recur [b]after[/b] a surgery and only then find yoga toes would have helped in my case all along.

But by all means, shout from the rooftops, "You're doomed bunion-having people! DO NOT try yoga toes! Also don't try surgery! Abandon all hope!"
