When I see the number of steps being promoted to get people to move more, I think about how most athletic shoes don’t complement the way our feet function, which increases compensation and, for instance, encourages plantar fasciitis.

Bunions are less about genetics and more about wearing athletic shoes with a tapered toe box. Over time, your brain settles into a position of stability where your 1st metatarsal and proximal phalange go in opposite directions, and it's far from optimal.

While the health benefits of taking more steps are parroted by plenty of folks who promote fitness, most of them don't mention that you're walking in athletic shoes that, in more ways than one, don't complement foot function.
