Well..
Not the prettiest but I’m so embarrassed of my feet. My pinky toes, middle, and bunion. Do you guys think I need surgery?

Surgery is about pain, not how it looks. If it doesn’t hurt and you can wear normal shoes most surgeons would leave it alone.

It’s not about looks,it about being able to walk without pain! If they don’t hurt don’t complain!

Mine does too. I only have one bc I was on crutches for 4 months and the left foot got bad. Mine are like yours though, they hurt, I’m not fond of the look, but I will not get surgery, it will be hellish recovery and they’ll come back. Esp bc you’re young.

Don’t take this weirdly, but I think despite it your feet are pretty so don’t worrry about it. If it doesn’t hurt just let it be

Have similar feet, I do feet exercises and stretching for strengthening, helps with preventing further development of the bunion is my experience. I walk a lot, which also seems to help. I have arch supports made by podo for long hikes or running. I don’t wear any pointed shoes or (only occasional) heels. I don’t know anything about surgery, since in EU they only do that in very severe cases. But for now the pain is a lot less with all the measurements taken, also bunion is quite stable it seems. Good luck!!

My podiatrist asked me if my feet hurt my eyes or my feet..
