FLEXIBLE BUNION BRACE SPORT

TRUE AND FALSE! It’s true that most orthotics currently on the market are not compatible with sports footwear: they are too rigid and bulky. To meet the needs of sportsmen and women, EPITACT® has designed an orthotic that is so thin that it can be worn with any sports shoes, even the most specialised (including ballet shoes).

FALSE! Sports orthotics do more than just protect your bunion. By realigning your big toe, it is able to produce more drive as it pushes off the floor. This is a crucial part of running technique, for example.

FALSE! Except in the case of major functional discomfort, having a bunion doesn’t involve sport restrictions, but protecting the toe is crucial. For sports with repeated lateral pressure on the foot (running, tennis…), the EPITACT® brace aims to protect the forefoot and reduces pain without impeding movements.
