EpitactBunion Corrector Flexible Hallux Valgus - Day use Bunion support that relieves pain and corrects the deviation while walking

I have found this amazing. I have tried numerous aids for my bunion, which is in its early stages but my big toe was leaning over more and more and starting to ache. The previous things I have tried haven't covered the whole toe, so haven't really realigned it as the top of the toe still bends over when other aids have either wrapped around the foot and toe or have been between the toes. This has pulled it gently back into alignment and holds it there. I have worn it work all day each day, and don't even know its there. Only on my 3rd day but effects have been brilliant upto now. Slight ache where the toe joint is as it pulled back where it should be, but that is a good thing. Be interesting to see how long it lasts and if it can improve it permanently. I will be buying more if it ticks more boxes, and I will update my review when I know more. Overall really really pleased, at the difference.Update July 3rd. I have worn and washed this constantly since January. It has lasted a lot longer than expected with continual use. It hasn't lost its shape or ripped at all over the past 6 months, but needs to be renewed as it is looking worn . I have just purchased two more as I am really pleased with it. When I walk without it on my big toe hurts and feels like it needs the support back. My bunion hasn't got any worse but it hasn't cured it either. It seems a good support for toes with bunions and maybe will slow down the progression of it if in early stages, and help with pain and alignment for worse cases. It stays in place completely and is very comfortable to wear on a daily basis for a long time.

I was expecting this to be thick enough to hold my big toe in a more straight position. It is not. To straighten the toe you pull the sleeve around your foot backwards, I found it just moved forwards again as I walked around. There is no way to hold the sleeve and toe in place. Also it says not to be worn at night when, really, this would be the best time to wear it as it is very unsightly. I would not recommend.

I believe that in time this will benefit me but I was shocked at the price, I don't believe it is worth that much money for the flimsy quality, and the fabric used, it is no different to any other medical/orthopaedic fabric I have known.

Don't bother with this one, it really is as bad as some of the other reviews. I should have paid more attention before I purchased it as it does absolutely nothing. It is supposed to move the large toe over slightly, and that would be all I needed but it didn't move my toe at all. I get more protection just wearing a sock.

I bought this bunion day corrector mainly to see it would reduce my pain in the right foot caused by the bunion and to this end it has helped. I am now able to take my daily walks with minimal discomfort therefore happy with purchase.
