Dr. Frederick’s Original Tailor’s Bunion Pads - 6 ct Low Profile Soft Gel Spacers for Bunionette Relief - Cushions Pinky Toe & Reduces Friction - Washable, Latex-Free, Doctor-Developed Foot Protectors

I work in a pharmacy and all my feet all day. My foot with a bunion on it would hurt by lunchtime. And would be tender to the touch when I got home after taking off my socks and shoes. After using this pad for only four days, my foot does not hurt at all when I get off work. I can put lotion on my feet without pain. Definitely recommend.

These pads do the job comfortably and stay in place. I purchased them to cushion a sore area (corn or planters wart) on the sole of ball of my foot. Sometimes I also have a sore tailors bunion. These work well for both. Just slightly twist the pad and the sore corn is cushioned or put it on straight as directed and my bunion is cushioned. Either way the pad is comfortable, stays in place, fits in my shoe and does the trick! They are also easy to wash and are durable. Highly recommend!

It's a nice try which is why I bought it. But the extra pressure on the bunion against the shoe makes it hurt worse, no matter how soft it is. And you will definitely need a supply of athletic adhesive tape to wrap around your foot because this thing ain't staying in place on its own. Save your money.

I have had this for a few weeks and wanted to actually use it for a while before writing the review. These are very soft and cushiony. Comfortable enough to sleep in if you wear socks or use surgical tape to hold in place. Easy to clean and seem to be helping. But, it did take a while to get used to. If you are just sitting around all day this is perfect! It hurt a lot more and became extremely uncomfortable to walk with it on. I ended up buying a pair of sneakers in a WIDE size (normally I wear medium width) and it made a world of difference!! It stopped hurting and I was able to be on my feet longer and walk and jog comfortably as well. I did notice they make an "athletic" model for those who are on their feet more. I didn't check it out enough to see exactly what the difference is though. One negative thing I don't like is it seems to push the next toe beside my pink toe over and sorta under the 3rd toe. It makes it curl over a little too. But once I take it off for a little while the 3rd toe returns to normal. It doesn't hurt the toe, just forces it into an odd position.

I have tried these bunionette pads several times since they arrived. They are great to start with. After I start walking and moving, the pad part slips around and is not covering the area where I need cushion. If there was a way to secure the pad in place so it doesn’t slip, they would be awesome! The size is great and they are effective when they are in the right location. They’re comfortable as well. I just need to figure out a way to keep them in place.

This bunion pad spacer is really nice from preventing bunions, or even if you have wide feet and need a little extra space in your shoes. It slid right into my pinkie toe and would not slide around. Definitely recommend using this item if you want to prevent bunions. It came with a good amount of pads as well.

I genuinely have no idea how this is supposed to decrease the pain of tailor’s bunions. it’s a very thin, very useless gel-like “cushion” which hangs loosely from your pinky toe. It doesn’t stick well to the foot, so you can only use it when wearing shoes that go with socks (aka no sandals/slides) - but that’s not the issue. The issue is my tailor’s bunions still HURT, badly. maybe even worse. Pressure on the bunion is not relieved with this product, but is actually almost worsened since it adds another layer and increases tightness and pressure along the outside of the foot. I don’t see any improvement in pain, symptoms, or appearance of my bunion when using this product at all.

Worked great on my husband’s bunion that was bothering him when he plays pickleball.
