The solution to sore, painful feet isn’t as simple as soaking them in a hot bath of Epsom salt, especially if you're walking on bunions, the most common foot condition.
Not discriminative to age, often induced by genetics, injury and/or lifestyle (shoes and sports), these unsightly deformities can cause moderate to serve pain that can worsen as you get older. Whether you’re walking a small bump or a larger bump at the joint of your big toe (heck, or maybe both), the size of your bunion also doesn’t necessarily matter when it comes to pain. “Your pain relates to the amount of pressure you put on the joint and the amount of walking you do regularly,” Dr. Marco Ucciferri tells Women’s Health. “You could have a huge bunion that doesn’t bother you, but if you wear dress shoes and walk to work every day, your small bunion could be very painful.”
Without taking the proper precautions, miscare of your feet can cause bunions to get even bigger, which can sometimes lead to more severe conditions like deep knots in your feet, poor arches and even hammertoe.
So what are the best ways to relieve pain? Aside from orthotics and getting your feet professionally measured for the right pair and size of shoes, you might want to consider correct the damage with bunion protector. And luckily for you, we found one that is guaranteed to work. Enter the Petask Bunion Corrector and Bunion Relief Care Kit.
This must-have foot sleeve features a cushion effect designed to protect the bunion and a comfortable gel toe separator to revert the toe back to natural alignment with regular use. Made with medical-grade gel, elastic fabric and rubber, Petask Bunion Corrector is thin and comfortable enough to wear with your favourite shoes throughout the day and at night to hold your big toe straight and to ease discomfort.

”This really helps to fix bunions. I bought it to avoid it getting worse — [at one] point I needed surgery to fix the bunion on my left foot,” says one five-star review.
“Wearing heels most of the week and having had multiple ankle/feet injuries, on occasion, my bunions may hurt,” adds another. “I bought this to try to see if I can avoid having surgery like my mom did and try to correct it while it's not hurting too much at this point. The product comes exactly as described.”
“The bunion protectors are easy to wear with shoes and the gel provided me with extra comfort while wearing shoes,” says another satisfied shopper. “The ball has also been super helpful for increasing blood flow to my feet. it's definitely not an overnight fix but with consistency, it will help strengthen toes & provide some relief.”
Among the more than 800 promising reviews, many have recommended this kit to be the perfect alternative for surgery. But before adding it to your cart and making a definite decision we recommend consulting with your doctor first.
