What customers are saying
“The biggest win for me is the pain relief. I used to have this constant ache around the bunion area, especially after a long day on my feet. With the sleeve on, that pain has significantly toned down. I won't say it's a miracle cure, but it's definitely given me some much-needed comfort.”
“My right foot had been bothering me for months — shoes that were always comfortable suddenly hurt after a long day. I’ve been wearing these sleeves for three weeks now and my foot feels mostly back to normal. And the shipping was incredibly fast.”
"I am so pleasantly surprised with this product! I contemplated buying it for weeks and finally did it. My feet have started to form bunions just in the last year or so. I purchased this to alleviate the pain that has started after a long day on my feet. I don't have aching sore feet at the end of the day anymore. I highly recommend it."
"Typically not one to write a review but I was pleasantly surprised with this product. I often wear heels that don't give my toes much room to straighten and over the years my pinky toe started to shift inwards towards my other toes. The misalignment caused the joint to stick out the side of my foot and I started to get inflammation and pain when I walked. In less than a week of using this product I noticed a major difference in the alignment of my toe. The pain is gone and the joint that was inflamed has gotten smaller."
"It's been 2 months since I purchased this item and I can honestly say they work. You have to be patient with them and give your foot time to heal. I had a very painful bunionette on my left foot and these sleeves made a real difference once I wore them consistently."
"I bought this because my bunions were becoming quite painful and I wanted to avoid surgery. These work really well inside shoes. They are well made too, so easy to use and doesn't cut off circulation like other products. A very effective item for pain relief and for those of us trying to keep those bunions from getting worse."
