Who Needs This?
If you have moderate to severe bunions, and they are not yet severe enough to warrant surgery, giving a bunion corrector like this one a try can be a great starting point.
They can also help with the postoperative treatment, maintaining the correct alignment of the toes.
What Are Bunions?
Bunions are prominent and inflamed heads of the metatarsal joints which are associated with hallux valgus – the movement of the great toe towards the second toe. They are often associated with pain as well as problems with walking and wearing normal shoes
Can Bunion Corrector Sleeves correct Hallux Valgus?
The evidence suggests that conservative management of hallux valgus can result in a reduction of pain, and relief of inflammation of the metatarsal head (i.e. the bunion).
What are the Benefits of a Bunion Corrector Sleeve?
Although there are no long-term and validated research studies in the literature which definitively prove the benefits of a bunion corrector sleeve, there are several theoretical benefits which have been proposed:
- Helping to stretch the ligaments and tendons of the foot
- Helping to break scar tissue apart
- Maintaining correction of the hallux valgus post-operatively to encourage healing
Are there any Side Effects from wearing Bunion Corrector Sleeves?
Individuals who expose their feet to wet areas (e.g. military personnel, dock workers etc.) should allow their feet to breathe periodically to avoid the development of fungal infections such as ringworm

How long should I wear the sleeve?
We recommend starting the treatment by using the sleeve at least 1 hour per session at the beginning and increments of 30-60 minutes thereafter. It is important that you allow your foot muscles enough time to adapt and recover as you stretch them.
How to wash the sleeves?
To maintain the quality and effect we recommend hand washing them with soap in cold water and then air dry them.
