Very effective product

It has really helped manage my bunions. Very comfortable and discreet to wear (I needed a medium size). Will need to buy more as it is now a steady part of my footwear.

Helpful for bunions.

I have bought many pairs of bunion sleeve. I feel they help with my bunions . I wish they weren't so expensive because they stretch after a time and need to buy new ones... I also buy them for a friend.

Big Toe Happy!

Wearing this sleeve has significantly assisted me with walking and balance (I'm recovering from a stroke). Bought two and will continue to replenish them when they wear out!

Works well until elasticity eventually decreases

Overall the Bunion Sleeve works extremely well. Very comfortable (not bulky in shoe as some Bunion devices are) and very effective in realigning toe comfortably. My main complaint is that as elasticity reduces over time, and the corrective effect reduces as a result, purchasing a replacement fairly regularly at the current price seems expensive.

Why is the bunion sleeve so expensive?

The bunion sleeves work well and are easy to take on and off, although I find that the size small is a little small for me (it starts to tear near the big toe) and the medium is a bit too loose. I have an Australian shoe size 7 1/2.
I also thought that $35 for one bunion sleeve is quite expensive – I expected to get a pair for that amount.

Bunion Treatment Without Surgery
Perfect For Mild To Moderate Bunions (Hallux valgus)

PROTECTS

Bunion Sleeve® creates a barrier between your bunion (big toe joint)
and your shoe. This ultra-thin bunion corrector is only 0.4mm thin,
making it easy and comfortable to wear in any shoe during any activity.

STRAIGHTENS

This bunion corrector gently repositions your big toe back to its
more natural alignment helping to improve your balance and gait. Bunion Sleeve® is great for running, walking and people who like to stay active.

REHABILITATES

This bunion treatment without surgery works by slowly releasing built up tension and relieving soreness. If you are looking for an alternative to invasive surgery or rigid splints, then this is the best bunion corrector for you.

Do you have a bunion?

A bunion, also called Hallux valgus, is a deformity of the big toe. This is a condition where the big toe is angled excessively towards the second toe, and a swollen, bony lump appears on the outside edge of your foot. Typical bunion symptoms occur as the condition gets worse with the big toe rubbing against the second toe and pushing it out of place. The bunion will also start pressing against your shoe causing swelling and pain in the affected area. In addition, the bunion impedes the big toe from working properly, meaning the other, smaller toes have to take the burden of your body weight when you move - leading to further discomfort and pain. As bunion symptoms increase, your foot may become wider making it difficult to find properly fitting shoes. If left for too long, bunion treatment can be invasive, so it is important to consider appropriate care such as bunion treatment without surgery to reduce symptoms before it’s too late.

The cause of hallux valgus is not proven although it is generally agreed to be hereditary, as studies have shown that around 90% of sufferers report a family history of bunions, big-toe joint problems, flat feet and pronation, etc. It is also widely agreed that narrow, high-heeled shoes aggravate hallux valgus. Another contributing factor is pronated feet, which is why flat feet and bunions are common complaints. The prevalence of Hallux valgus increases steadily with age, which is why it is important to try and contain it so it does not affect your quality of life, as you get older.

Bunion Sleeve® has a unique non-slip heel strap that comfortably holds it in place around your ankle. Bunion Sleeve® gently pulls your big toe away from your other toes, improving your balance and gait by restoring a more natural toe alignment. It icomfortable to wear with shoes during all activities.

Bunion Sleeve® is only available online (not available in stores).

Why Bunion Sleeve®?

Bunion pads and spacers are uncomfortable and do not stay put. Wearing rigid bunion splints is often more painful than the bunion itself. Bunion Sleeve® is uniquely different.

Other helpful information

Bunions are a common foot condition characterized by a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. This bump, which is actually an enlargement of the bone or tissue around the joint, can cause the big toe to angle inwards towards the other toes. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking.

Bunions are caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, arthritis, and certain types of shoes that don't fit properly. Women are more likely to develop bunions than men.

Treatment options for bunions include non-surgical methods such as wearing comfortable shoes and using padding or inserts to reduce pressure on the affected joint. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the deformity and alleviate pain.

If you suspect you have a bunion, it's a good idea to see a podiatrist (foot doctor) for an evaluation. They will be able to diagnose the condition and recommend the best course of treatment for you.

Bunion correctors are devices that are worn on the foot to help alleviate pain and reduce the progression of bunions. They work by realigning the toe and reducing pressure on the affected joint.

There are several different types of bunion correctors available, including splints, sleeves, and straps. Some are worn during the day, while others are worn at night.

Splints are worn over the toe and work by gently pulling the big toe back into its correct position. Sleeves are worn around the foot and work by cushioning and protecting the bunion. Straps are worn around the toe and work by keeping the toe in its correct position.

Bunion correctors can be effective in reducing pain and discomfort caused by bunions, but they do not cure the condition. It's important to note that they should be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as wearing comfortable shoes, using padding or inserts, and exercising to strengthen the muscles in the foot.

If you are experiencing pain and discomfort related to bunions, it is important to see a podiatrist for an evaluation. They can help you determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition, including whether or not bunion correctors would be helpful for you.

Bunion surgery, also known as bunionectomy, is a surgical procedure that is used to correct the deformity caused by a bunion. The goal of the surgery is to remove the bony bump and realign the big toe to its correct position.

There are several different types of bunion surgery, each with its own specific indications and risks.

The most common type of bunion surgery is called a bunionectomy. This procedure involves making an incision in the skin at the base of the big toe, removing the bony bump, and realigning the bones of the big toe. The procedure can be performed using either a traditional open technique or a minimally invasive technique.

Another type of bunion surgery is called an osteotomy, it involves cutting and repositioning the bone in order to realign the big toe. The procedure can be performed using either a traditional open technique or a minimally invasive technique.

Recovery time can vary depending on the type of procedure and the patient's overall health, but it typically takes several weeks to several months for the foot to fully heal. Physical therapy may be required to help the patient regain strength and range of motion in the foot.

It's important to note that surgery is usually reserved for cases where non-surgical treatments have failed to provide adequate relief from pain and symptoms. If you have a bunion and are considering surgery, it's important to consult with a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation, to determine if surgery is the best option for your specific case.

Bunion surgery is a highly effective treatment for bunions, but it's not the only option. There are several non-surgical alternatives that can be used to alleviate pain and slow the progression of the condition.

It's important to note that non-surgical treatments may not be as effective as surgery in treating bunions, but they may help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the condition. It's best to consult with a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.
