Alayna Bunion Corrector and Bunion Relief Sleeve Gel Pad Cushion Splint Orthopedic Bunion Protector for Men and Women, Hallux Valgus Corrector Bunion Guard, Bunion Pain Relief (2 PCS) (Large)

My son developed a small bunion which became very painful during lacrosse season. The pain was radiating through his whole foot. I checked on Amazon to see if they had any kind of brace we could use and I saw this one. It looked thin enough to wear in his shoes/cleats and looked comfortable. Once they came in I had my son wear them for short periods of time to get used to them as the directions stated. He said these were comfortable and the pain was reduced! Now he's only a little uncomfortable at the bunion site. The brace works great! The only problem was this particular one was when he was playing lacrosse it bunched up in his cleat and didn't stay in place. I went back on Amazon and found a pair of bunion socks (different vendor)which purchased to try for when he's more active. The full socks came in yesterday and I was disappointed to find there was no padding in the bunion area. I told my son to wear this brace under the sock to see if the sock will help keep it in place.

Women’s size 8 (occasionally 8.5) shoe and the size Small fits perfectly! Snug and doesn’t move around, but also doesn’t cut off circulation. Can’t speak to pain relief effectiveness yet but off to a good start!

I wear a size 10/11 shoe/sneaker/boot (depending on the fit), and these bunion correctors fit me without slippage thus far. I also wore them with socks and sneakers during my workout and experienced no slippage. I ordered the medium size. The large would have been too loose. The medium fit me perfectly. The cushion on the big toe/side provides, needed comfort, protection and relief. The material remind me of a girdle, spandex like material, so hand washing would be best.

This foot product for bunions does help with pain but it's awfully short and it's hard to get onto the big toe.

I got 2 pairs of these figuring I can wear a pair and wash the other. I used to see these in "silicone" but somehow, it just didn't feel right to my inner gut because I did not want to sweat wearing rubber. These however, thanks to Amazon's amazing stock, came up when I was searching for some bunion relief and it was an instant "love affair" when I saw them. I just knew I could wear them and not get sweaty feet....and so it is!!! I was also so surprised that they actually do work. I sleep with them and I can feel the pull in my foot. I also wear them with my slippers sometimes but I have not yet tried to wear them with my shoes because I did notice that when I do wear them with my slippers, they do move & slip around and that would drive me crazy if I was in my sneakers outside somewhere and kept needing to "fix" their fit. Other than that, I am very pleased with them. :)

Did not help

I purchased the bunion relief sleeve in the hopes that it would allow me to wear more than the one pair of shoes that didn't hurt my foot. It did. It works like a charm cushioning my bunion enough that I can wear all my shoes without constant pain. If worn without socks, it will slip and not stay in place. Once the socks are on it stays fine. I wear it while I'm at work--on my feet most of a 10 hour day and it relieves enough that my feet aren't killing me at the end of the day. It also washes well-- I washed it with my delicates and air dried it. Definitely would buy again.

These are not intended to provide much outward pressure on big toe, but provide protection for the side of bunion. It does provide modest padded protection. However I am hoping it would help reduce the numbness of my side of my big toe. The jury is out on that goal as I have only used them for two 1-hour periods (you are supposed to build up to wearing them past the initial 15 min times). Lastly… my medium sized product seems snug but about right for me (foot size 8 1/2), but it is borderline acceptable for the compression it creates on the Morton’s Neuromas on the bottoms of my feet.
