Yes, i have many people who are using them successfully. It depends on how far the bunion has formed. It's definitely not a quick fix. You are trying to re educate your feet, and learn how to properly distribute your weight so when you walk your weight distributes more on the outside arch. Ideally you could find a good body worker. Bunions sometimes start because of the way your legs are distributing the weight in to your feet. These are lines of force that need to be redistributed. And then of course the kinds of shoes you wear are incredibly important. I hope this helps. John William Johnson, licensed massage therapist

In that case, I wouldn't think this would work. This just provides relief in shoes that feel bad for your feet. Combined with the other treatments, I think these will work. But if you are looking for a magical elixir, these are not it. So I would buy again. These will make your feet feel better but probably won't "cure" your problem. Good luck.

I don't know how long one would have to wear them to permanently improve alignment. Yoga toes are very helpful in releasing foot and toe tension and this does improve walking and balance for me. Because I already have a bunion on one foot I doubt these would help keep alignment in that foot but yoga toes help my feet to adapt better to that bunion.

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry

These inserts offer cushion and support, as for bunions I do not believe they would alleviate the pain. My experience has been that any pressure on a bunions ( no matter how much cushion) I will still feel the pain. So as to this product specifically for bunions , this would probably not be the best choice; as for comfort support with high heels only, these work great. Hope this helps.

They are wonderful, and really help with bunion pain. HOWEVER, I have discovered that they slide off easily IF they get wet...you don't even notice, because of the water. I wouldn't even try them on the beach. They don't slide off easily otherwise. I love them!

NO. I bought them just to stretch the toe area and they would not stay in place. I would not recommend this product.

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

Yes, definitely would help. They are made of a strong rubber material so you need some strength to get them on but when they are on the stay put.

?"Which is better?".....Not sure what you are referring to? I purchased mine to help stop further bunions forming on my big toes, not as much for curling/turning toes or foot pain.

I don't think these would work if you need them wide for your bunion. I think they are a bit narrow.

I am using this bunion aid now mostly at night. It help to eliminate my pain as I am afraid to go to surgery. However, my bunion is medium and not severe pain which needs surgery.

These spread and stretch the metatarsal bones that have become cramped together by modern footwear that is tapered in the toe area. They are good for bunions, hammertoes and other afflictions brought about by narrow toe boxes in shoes and by heredity in a lot of cases.

I use these bunion guards every day, in all my shoes - especially my boots. I am a size 9.5 or 10, and these guards are about twice as long as I need. They basically sculpt themselves abound your bunion. As they only attach to your big toe (the silicone is very elastic!), there should be no problem fitting your 12-13 foot. I love these bunion guards, and they allow me to wear high heels and boots again! Definitely try them!!!

I don't know how well they'd protect against bunions, since all the padding is under the ball of the foot. I would consider using Dr. Scholl's bunion pads, and taping them in place with sports tape, or using the Danshuz to hold the bunion pad in place.

No they can not be worn with shoes. They are only good just sitting around watching TV. I tried wearing them to bed. But they started to hurt my feet. Found out they cut off the blood flow to my toes. The Bunion Booty does a better job but is pricey. These are good for women to paint their toe nails.

Yes, the tabs on the bunion aid hinged are generous...since my bunion I wear a women's size 11 (Can) (which is large size for a woman and I am able to fit my foot into the bunion aid hinged splint.....
