Another brilliant podcast. Every time I am looking into an issue you do a podcast. For the past few months I have been exploring footwear. I am convinced my bad bunion and overlapping toes contributes to what are labelled as part of my MS symptoms. I have an appointment with an orthopaedic consultant on Tuesday to sort out surgery. I will cancel this now and try 12 month with these shoes and foot exercises and reflexology.

Oh wow - definitely circle back and let me know how you do - depending on how bad the bunions are I'm not sure that the shoes can help but you will know pretty quickly. That said, should you decide to move forward with the surgery perhaps they could be helpful after you've recovered - all the best!! 🙏

@@nathalieniddam9630 I have had to wait for restock and shipping to U.K. do not started yet but will post when I have had some time. I am using a combination of individual 3 D printed orthotics at one end of the support spectrum to the Peluva’s with the aim to provide support to areas of weakness when walking distances and Peluvas to facilitate strengthening inbetween.
