Additionally, how well do these wear with shoes? I'd like a daily fix to my newly developing bunions

The gel spacers have definitely helped with my bunions. My bunions no longer hurt. So yes, I recommend the spacers. :-)

I use size small. My shoe size is 7. They are a life saver for me. I don't even know I am using them. I wear them with all my shoes and hiking boots.

In my experience, they work if the "toe box" on the shoe isn't too tapered or pointed and the shoe has some "wiggle room"

They are quite soft and while a sock keeps them in place, they eventually get deformed and become useless. This is just normal wear. For me they last 6 months or so before replacing with new.

My husband wears his without noticing it. Sometimes after he has taken his socks off, we are searching the floor for the toe spacer. He forgets he was using it.

I run with these every day. Last long. I have not tried them in barefoot running shoes but imagine these would help since barefoot running shoes have no arch support.

I think they'd work well, it just depends on if you'd want that look. By the way, I just did a 5K mud run on this past Saturday and I didn't lose my shoes once.

probably get a med or small. I wear one, it's more about fixing my foot than fashion, and it helped!

I have been wearing them for a couple of weeks. They help with releaving pain. However, my begining stages of a bunion would require me to wear for a year to see any results of straightening but everyone is different.

should be ok, but i dont wear it with shoes, I only wear it at home after a long day of standing; i recommend large for you

I used these after my bunion surgery. Think about where your own bunion pressure points are. You may need to consult a dr.

Yes you can wear these with shoes. I found the single toe straightener was more comfortable than the double for me.

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

Absolutely! They were for my husband following an extended illness. He has used them both with and without shoes and prefers them barefoot. The little nobs on them help stimulate circulation in the feet. Hope this helps.

Yes, it actually needs to be worn with a shoe in order to be effective...a tennis shoe is your best bet.

I have had mine for about a year. I use them on a pair of shoes that I love, and pretty much wear every day, and they have held up well. I suspect that they'll outlast my fraying shoes at this point.

I have bunions but they are not too big. These shoes are very comfortable and I usually have problems finding shoes that are wide enough.

Hi Shelah, Well you can wear them anytime you want. They don't fit in shoes, so what works for me is to wear them in the evening when I watch TV. The important thing to remember is that when you first start out only wear them for a few minutes and gradually increase the wearing time. The first time you do it they might hurt or feel funny, but once you get used to them it stretches out your toes and your feet feel good! For me, the best amount of time is half an hour. Anything more than that is too much.

They will probably slip. Wearing tennis shoes they stay pretty well but without shoes they slide for me (with 4#/ankle) even after tightening multiple times. Probably won't find much better though...

I would try a wider clog if you suffer from bunions. I have a little trouble with one toe "pinching" after long hours with these clogs. They aren't any too wide.

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.
