Slip on our nighttime bunion splint before you go to bed and, while you sleep, tight tendons and toe muscles stretch. The bunion brace straps your toe in position, while soft foam soothes the tender area. Adjust the pad to provide the most bunion relief and treatment, and secure in place with a hook-and-loop closure. Podiatrist-recommended for patients who don't want painful, costly bunion surgery.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism I have bunions on both feet. My right is worse than my left. I have always opted for very comfortable shoes, which has probably helped minimize pain to this point in my life, but I knew it was time to seek a remedy because starting about 6 months ago they have started to bother me even when I am not wearing shoes. As for the product: I only purchased one for the right foot to test this bunion regulator out, since the reviews were mixed and I had never tried anything like it before. But, this works far better than I had hoped. I wear it only to bed (overnight) and even put on a sock over it because my feet are always cold. I can not walk in it at all (too uncomfortable), but I don't deny that some people could maybe do so. Everyone's feet are different. My perfect shoe size is a 7.5W (only wide BECAUSE of the bunions, however), so maybe that tells you something about the fit. It fits my foot perfectly and truly relieves the bunion pressure. After only 4 nights, I can honestly say that my right foot now is more comfortable during the day than my left foot. The device looks exactly as depicted. Of course it is overpriced for what it is (plastic, some foam padding and some velcro), but unless you are going to make your own, I think it is worth it.
