Gel Bunion Pad
 
A bunion is a bony protrusion of the great toe joint that can cause friction and pain when wearing shoes. An ultra-thin silicone metatarsal gel bunion pad helps ease bunion discomfort by evenly distributing the force you place on your forefoot when you walk. The gel bunion pad design secures a dome under the foot in just the right place to support your foot’s metatarsal arch (the indentation in the center of your forefoot).

The silicone in the gel bunion pad contains anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungicide properties that inhibit odors. We highly recommend a gel bunion pad for individuals who do a lot of walking or who stand for prolonged periods of time.
 
Relieve and Prevent Bunion Pain with a Gel Bunion Pad
 
Find bunion relief by making some simple adjustments to your shoes. Shop for shoes in the afternoon to account for any natural swelling, and purchase well-fitting shoes with a wide toe box.

  • Use bunion shields, bunion pads (which also come in gel bunion pad form) or bunion cushions to protect the bunion when wearing shoes.
  • Utilize an orthotic device or insert, such as a bunion splint or bunion brace, to redistribute the pressure along the arch and ball of the foot and control the separation of the bones. These devices help support your foot and offer great relief from bunion pain.
  • Use a bunion regulator to stretch tight tendons and toe muscles overnight – especially if you want to avoid surgery.
In severe cases, when bunion pain becomes hard to live with, The Podiatry Institute suggests you see a doctor to determine if corrective surgery is needed.
