Our Felt Bunion Shield is made of soft, durable, double-ply felt and is considered the "old reliable" of bunion pads when it comes to treating sore, painful bunions. The Felt Bunion Shield works perfectly for patients who are not able to undergo bunion surgery. Wear the Felt Bunion Shield directly against the skin. A small elastic loop surrounding the great toe holds the felt protector cushion in place. We suggest wearing hose or a sock to help keep it in position. May be worn in most shoes. Removable, reusable, and Latex-free. Wash by hand with mild soapy water. Air dry. Universal right/left. By Myfootshop.com. 1 per pack. Indications - The Felt Bunion Shield is used to prevent pain and shoe pressure associated with a bunion (also called hallux valgus.) Foot Care Tip! - Bunion pain is caused by shoe pressure, mal-alignment of the great toe, or both. The Felt Bunion Shield acts as a protector against shoe pressure but does not re-align the big toe joint. Many patients who use a Felt Bunion Shield also use the Large/Firm Toe Separator to re-align the great toe. Additional products that relieve shoe pressure and align the great toe include our Bunion Spacer with Stay Put Loop and Toe Spacer Bunion Guard Combo.
