Anyone that has tried barefoot shoes (not necessarily the make) has it made any difference to your bunion?

Anyone that has tried barefoot shoes (not necessarily the make) has it made any difference to your bunion? I'm wondering because I don't have that much movement in my big toe, if it will make it worse but the rocker trainer I was wearing was causing me so much pain so I'm trying something new. Thanks all. I'm trying to prevent surgery and trying to use my big toe more to strengthen it.
