4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, February 15, 2008

I bought this and the Wheaton black bunion brace, as I have a painful bunion caused by a metatarsal disorder on my left foot. I've already had surgery, which only made it worse, and I wish I'd tried this product first.

I've been using it just at night and I feel the difference in the morning. I wish it could be worn all day long. It gently pulls my big toe out while putting pressure on the bunion, and I like that you can adjust the pressure over time by tightening the blue & white straps. The quality is also better than I expected. The image makes it appear to be cheap plastic with thin straps, but it's decent quality that I expect to use nightly for a year or two.

If you have a serious bone problem as I do, this probably won't completely correct the problem, but it may lessen the pain. If you're considering surgery, try this first, it may be enough to get you through the day.

This review is from: FootSmart Bunion Regulator (Health and Beauty)

I have bunions on both feet. My right is worse than my left. I have always opted for very comfortable shoes, which has probably helped minimize pain to this point in my life, but I knew it was time to seek a remedy because starting about 6 months ago they have started to bother me even when I am not wearing shoes. As for the product: I only purchased one for the right foot to test this bunion regulator out, since the reviews were mixed and I had never tried anything like it before. But, this works far better than I had hoped. I wear it only to bed (overnight) and even put on a sock over it because my feet are always cold. I can not walk in it at all (too uncomfortable), but I don't deny that some people could maybe do so. Everyone's feet are different. My perfect shoe size is a 7.5W (only wide BECAUSE of the bunions, however), so maybe that tells you something about the fit. It fits my foot perfectly and truly relieves the bunion pressure. After only 4 nights, I can honestly say that my right foot now is more comfortable during the day than my left foot. The device looks exactly as depicted. Of course it is overpriced for what it is (plastic, some foam padding and some velcro), but unless you are going to make your own, I think it is worth it.

I've used these splints for a couple of years now, and this one is very comfortable. They have helped prevent progression of my bunion and decreased some of the angle on the toe.
