Are bunions genetic, or is your lifestyle to blame? In this video, we break down the bunion debate once and for all. Discover how genetic traits like ligament laxity, foot width, great toe length, and metatarsal shape affect your risk. Learn why lifestyle factors—particularly shoe choices like narrow toe boxes, raised heels, and incorrect sizing—play a major role in bunion formation.
We'll also explore how weak foot arches, tight ankles, and weak glute muscles contribute to bunion development, often beyond your feet. With practical tips, shoe recommendations, and a simple at-home test, you'll understand exactly how to prevent or even fix bunions naturally.
Fix your bunions by choosing foot-shaped shoes, zero-drop soles, and the right shoe size. Don't let genetics dictate your foot health—make proactive lifestyle changes today.
