BUNION PROTECTOR

FALSE! Placing a thick pad over your bunion takes up more volume in your shoe. As a result, more pressure is applied to your foot, especially around the bunion area. We need to make pads with optimal thickness so that they are effective while being as thin as possible. This is why EPITACT^® bunion protectors are made with a gel pad that’s just 1mm thick.

FALSE! Bunion protectors, whether made by EPITACT^® or a competing brand, are only designed to protect bunions from pressure and rubbing. You need to use a corrective orthotic to realign your big toe, as long as it still has some lateral mobility.

TRUE! The EPITHELIUM 26^® gel in the protection is used to protect the bunion from pressures and frictions. It also relieves the pain caused by hallux valgus. Ultra-thin and light, this protection can be worn in any footwear without creating additional discomfort for the foot. Very discreet, you will forget your pain throughout the day. To realign your big toe, chose the flexible bunion corrector for day or the rigid bunion corrector for night.
