Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Although I've got some pretty mean looking bunions they don't hurt me a lot but I started looking at bunion braces because my knees hurt and the doc said that poor foot mechanics may be a contributing factor. I've been wearing this bunion brace alot on my 'bad' side and I really like it. It seems to help my knee by moving my big toe back to a position where it can work right and support my leg.
The neoprene isn't as thick as I thought it would be (thankfully) because I imagined a wetsuit. It fit under my Crocs Relief model shoes okay and I wore it when I went out on errands with no problems. It has more pull than you would think just looking at it but not too much - not painful, very gentle.
The only thing I might caution against is that if you have bad arthritis in your hands/thumbs it might be a little uncomfortable to pull on. The first day I did have toe rub between the big and next toe but I just wear it not pulled on as much -- none of my big toe pokes out the end now -- and I haven't had the problem again. I wear a women's 8D shoe and am using the W5-8.5.
