NatraCure Big Toe Bunion Corrector - Gel Pad Bunion Cushion Sleeves for Bunion Relief - Big Toe Straightener for Friction, Pressure, Hallux Valgus - Bunion Corrector for Women Big Toe - 6 PK

I had a sesamoidectomy last October, and I ended up with nerve damage along the scar on the side of my foot, just a little below my big toe. To protect the nerve, my doctor gave me some foam thingies that I had to trim to slip over my toe, and they would go flat in about 3 days, so I would have to keep putting new ones on. I got on here and searched for something similar but more durable, and this has been great in protecting that area of my foot and giving me good cushioning. My doctor was even impressed with it. Not surprisingly it easily gets sock lint on it, but it's easy to wipe off with just water. I wish I'd gotten this much sooner.

I am a marathon runner with chronic blisters near my bunions. I've tried EVERYTHING - double layer socks, wool socks, glide, you name it.... and these gels are fantastic! They have been the only thing that has kept me blister free. They stay in place nicely under my sock. They only time I had an issue, was on a very wet, rainy run... but then again.... what isn't going to struggle in those conditions. It still kept me blister free... but I had to buy another pair because my feet were sliding around in my shoes (my insole was wrong size) and so the gels broke. But I can handle that.5 stars for me!!!Sincerely,Very Thankful, Blister free Marathon Runner

I hadn’t worn my Giorgio Armani pumps for the last 5 years because the right foot hurt so much along the right side of my foot. I’m using this gel pad, and my foot is completely pain free!UPDATE: While this item works well as I mentioned above, after a few wears, it no longer stays in place. It flops over the rim of the shoe, and I find myself constantly pushing it back down in place.

I tried this product and found that the separator going between toe and second toe is bulky and make a hurting mark on my toes and caused lots of pain and discomfort. I could not wear it for more than 4 hours and had to take it out. Then, I tried to trim the separator to see if it will relieve the pain and irritability but got no result. I am very disappointed and fell this product is useless. If NatrCure is able to exchange this product with a protective gel without the separator then I will be happy to return it for an exchange otherwise I will have to seek a complete return and refund from Amazon because of product causing pain and suffering.

I noticed when I slipped it in place on my big toe the marking on the pad said “L/XL” whats up with this ? The amazon page said nothing about sizes. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe and this bunion guard is rather large on me I will have to tape it down with sports tape or something to keep it from flopping around. It is loose and slippery on my toe and does not conform to the side of my instep!

I have always had bunions on both feet, but they never used to bother me. A couple years ago the one on my right foot started giving me issues and seems like it has gotten bigger. It became a big issue with running because it was constantly flaring up, and a few weeks ago it was getting worse. I tried this last week and wow what a difference it makes! I still notice my bunion a tad, but it is pretty prominent, so I would have been shocked if I didn't notice it at all; however, it is SO MUCH more comfortable to run now!!!

I now have 3 of these and I love them! I started exercising again to incude walking and other cardio and my bunion would just ache and ache. I had surgery and removed the left big toe bunion but recovery was so long that I have put off doing the left one. I found these and they saved me (or at least bought me some time). Just one thing about them....they are squishy and they basically always work but if you have a shoe that doesn't have much toe box room then the shoe feels tighter which is no fun. So they don't always work.

I use these and they are helpful so I give them two stars, but I need to use athletic tape on my foot to help try to hod them in place.. They still move hurting my bunion. I just bought self contacting flex roll or self contacting ace wrap to hopefully hold the guard in place. Haven't used yet to give an honest opinion but feels better then any brace or other contraption I have found to cushion the area.
