As someone with bunions and flatter feet these braces and supports are a necessary step in maximizing my splay. I also do a lot of exercises and have spent a lot of time researching my misalignment. Katy Bowman literally changed my gait and my life.

At my local Trader Joe’s in Virginia Beach.

I was told that they did this because people were coming in and buying entire sleeves of sardines. And that they’re only getting enough to put out less than a case a day or a week I forget.

I didn’t know there was such a huge sardine shortage. I’ve been eating them for decades! I’ve never experienced anything like this. Whatever is happening, I hope this passes soon.

Has anybody tried this? I hear ER maybe coming out with a leather strap at some point in the future. But who knows when that’s gonna be, curious how this would work they look about the same.

Sup😊, I feel like I’ve been staring at my feet for days.

Yes, I did use their measurement guide.

They’re finally comfortable and I can’t feel my feet going over the edge. This is a pretty close fit.

Open to thoughts was considering sizing half a size up for my next pair. But it honestly would be purely for aesthetics unless I really should size up.

I haven’t fully broken these in yet so they’re not formed around my feet.

On the image with my right foot, I have a significant drop in the arch that I’m working on. I’ve noticed that slight toe hang when I relax my foot however, as the arching engages, it goes right to the edge like the other toes.

Yes, I have bunions 🥰

Thanks!
