I have a bunion. How soft is the rubber over the top and sides of the foot?

These are great fins and I have had them now for three years. The rubber is not uncomfortable. It is not brick hard nor does it agitate your skin. I am not an expert or pro, but it feels very comfortable during use. I might suggest you put them on and off while in the water...

Compared to the stiff, hard rubber Speedo fins that I replaced these with, the Microfins are much softer and more pliable. Not sure if they would be better for bunions though.

I think the rubber is quite soft actually. They are definitely softer than the Zoomer fins - the Zoomers actually hurt my feet sometimes, and I sized them pretty well. The Microfins to me were sized a bit larger so they are a tad loose on my feet, but they still work out well and do not fall off.

I have never tried it as mine are along side my big toe but it would be worth a try if you have alot of pain with it as I did with my situation, I was desperate to try anything. They are so comforting, they have really saved my life. THe only other thing I can recommend is to try the corn small discs with the hole in the middle they may fit better on the small toe but my life has changed for the better with these Gel Bunion Guards, they may be a little big but they really do make you feel so much better, no pain, great barrier for ache of bunions.

To me it's soft...I had a hard plastic front this does not. It's a soft leather not a vinyl. Just so you know I can't feel it when I have it on it's very comfortable

if u can get it to fit over your foot and heel. might be to tight to slide over the foot. its made of a rubber material that can stretch a little bit. but wouldnt work with my foot size.

they are a stiff rubber. I've worn them with a hardhad and never had a problem

The sole is thick however, I feel it is too soft to be rigid enough for a spade unless your soil has been worked and a spade can be pushed in without a great deal of pressure. My feeling is you would notice the back pressure from the spade and your foot would tire quickly. I use mine in the garden however, my soil is very well worked and it is relatively easy to push a spade into. The shoes are otherwise fantastic and I'm confident you would find them a joy to wear.

I ordered 2 different foot rest. I did not keep tjis one. I kept the other. The other, don't remember brand is of a plastic and foot rest area is very cushioned. I've been using it ever since I purchased it!

They go soft quickly. Check out "leg length discrepancy lift" by shoe stuff. Very durable!

Pretty much the same as the bottom I think, but the top is rough so your feet grip better.

You can get it for either foot. You just have to choose. This one was not comfortable to me at all. I ended up going with Neo G Medical Grade Super Soft Bunion correction system - Right which has been most comfortable.

Yes, the top cushion is soft when resting your feet on it. It has enough squish for comfort.

The front feet (towards the user) are rubber or softer polymer. The back feet are of a harder more plastic-like material.

One side should have a plastic film covering the sticky part. That side goes down leaving the flat, smooth side towards your foot. Hope that helps

Not Gel... more like a soft rubber. The waffel bottom is what gives the "cushion" and they work fairly well for many patients except when they are too big for the shoe.

Soft like rubber. I actually had a friend (that knows a lot about snakes) who thought it was real from a distance.

The picture is of the bottom of the insert which is a gel with both slightly raised as well as indented "bumps". The lighter portion in the pic is a soft plastic which gives some arch structure. On the reverse side, which is what comes into contact with the bottom of your foot is some sort of fabric. I don't feel any bumps coming through the bottom of the insole. They are very soft. I don't have nueropathy but I don't see how anyone would feel anything from the underside of the insert.

Rubber. I love mine. I can only walk about 15 ft before I need to sit down, but with this walker, I can go almost as far as I want, the only thing I would change is that I am 5'1" tall and when seated my feet dangle which pulls on my lower back (where my problem is...) so I would add a foot rest. Other than that, it has changed my life. I can go out, get into cars or buses, get around the medical clinic.
