Bunion Corrector & Bunion Relief Protector Sleeves Kit - 4 Pieces Bunion Splints Big Toe Straightener for Hallux Valgus Aid Surgery (Black + Nude, L: Women Size 7.5-11 / Men Size 6-10)

Backstory: I stubbed my second- (or "pointer-") toe about five years ago on a wooden bedpost and at the time didn't seek medical attention because I figured there wouldn't be anything to be done about it anyway. Throughout the years I'd have awful foot pain when walking, but this past year it became increasingly painful- even when sitting or laying down. After finally being able to see a Podiatrist last month (over video, of course,) she recommended finding a product like this that I could wear to stabilize my foot. As it turns out, I didn't/don't have a bunion but I'd apparently been walking around with Metatarsalgia and Capsulitis of my MTP Joint for years...Onto the Product itself: The daytime sleeves are pretty self-explanatory and work well, although I can really only wear a few pairs of shoes comfortably with it on (only need one for the right foot.) I'd recommend wearing shoes with a wider toe box if you aren't already. The brace for night-time is a little confusing at first, but once you get it set up the first time it's easier to maneuver. Having the aluminum bar to help keep everything in alignment while you're sleeping really does help to ease the pain! Similarly, the cushion between the big toe and second toe is also very comfortable and helpful. It is still good to take a break from them every now and again, but I typically use the sleeve daily, and give myself a break in the evenings before bed/before donning the brace.I haven't tried putting the actual brace in the wash but I do handwash it, and Febreeze it and typically leave a dryer sheet in it during the day as well. The sleeves can probably go in the wash like in a linen bag or something, but I wouldn't do it too often because I feel like the cushion part may lose its integrity (again: handwash, Febreeze, and dryer sheet.)Con: Only con that I have right now is that the sleeves with the toe cushion have the ability to be adjusted a little (so the cushion isn't under your toes,) but recently I tried to push it back to where it is supposed to be because it seemed like it kept trying to lay under the toes at baseline, and I haven't really been able to do so successfully. Luckily, there are two and I only have one ailing foot, so I just broke out the other sleeve and moved on with my life. Even with this slight "first-world" inconvenience, I still highly recommend this product, as it has brought me some stabilization and pain-relief (not pain free but markedly better with them than without!)

The splints are amazing and work wonderfully. I had a slight learning curve in that I didn't realize they were left/right specific. You CAN wear them on either but they are properly worn with the logo facing up, so if you walk around in them a little, that way you aren't walking on the velcro attachment and they are much more comfortable if worn properly. You can trim the fabric around the toe attachment on the splints, I had to because it rubbed the webbing in between my toes and felt horrible, but after I trimmed the fabric they are great. The sleeves, however, while excellent in concept are not useful. I am female and wear a size 9.5 shoe, so my feet are not ginormous and on par with the average male. The sleeves said they were size L, but not an American L. They cut off the circulation in my toe as they are way too tight/small. I really wanted these to work as they would be awesome to wear with shoes. There is no way to adjust the sleeves, they are what they are. The splints alone are worth the cost, however. And I highly recommend them if you have a bunion(s).

The bunion corrector is made with a hard piece (of metal I presume) that goes along the side of your big toe, which of course is what keeps it straight and pulled away form your other toes. So, that's necessary, and would be good, except that it needs more padding, because the hard part hurts! I don't want a hard piece of metal pressing against my foot exactly where my foot is already in pain. Otherwise it would really work great- they just need to put more padding on that metal piece so it doesn't hurt :(

It is an excellent bunion corrector, at first it can be a little tricky to put it on, but if you watch the video explaining it will be much easier. the metal bar of one of the correctors makes the corrector more effective and it is not uncomfortable at all it feels much less pain immediately, I cannot use it with my shoes because it does not fit. There is also the other piece that is much softer with an internal sponge that allows me to use it with my socks and some sneakers shoes.

BUY NOW !! When I bought this I was very skeptical but I can’t sleep without it on my foot it helps the pain . I love this product highly recommended.

One of the things you should wear on your feet, pulls your big toe and it's uncomfortable the first few times, you can barely hold it. But that's only for a while. After that, you'll forget you're wearing something on your feet.About my results, I didn't realize I needed it for my tiny bunion, but I see a big difference. However, I'm happier than happy to buy it. I'm just letting you know, it'll take a while for you to feel comfortable with it.

i have a bunion on my right which doesn’t trouble me if i have a decently firm gel spacer. i got this set because it’s a sleeve enclosed around a gel padding instead of just the raw gel padding. unfortunately after only a couple days’ use of either sleeve (it comes w/ 2) the gel spacer pieces in the fabric were all twisted and moved out of place in the fabric itself, rendering both of them now misshapen and useless to me. it’s a pity because the fabric sleeve makes wearing it with sandals pretty nice. it doesn’t move.as for the stiff brace pieces they are suitable only for post-surgery or extreme cases of injury and needing to keep it still. they are not at all comfortable to walk in, and are not padded for any movement. useful with crutches, perhaps.
