Product Description The Gel Toe Spreader with Bunion Pad Combo provides two types of protection in one low-profile foot-care accessory. A soft gel spacer sits between the big toe and second toe to help maintain separation and encourage improved toe alignment. The attached bunion pad extends over the side of the big-toe joint, creating a cushioning barrier between the sensitive area and the inside of the shoe. This combined design can help reduce rubbing between the first and second toes while protecting a bunion from pressure and friction caused by footwear. OrthoConnectION describes the product as interchangeable between the left and right foot and suitable for most adult users. The flexible gel construction conforms gently around the forefoot without requiring straps, buckles or adhesive. Its compact profile makes it suitable for many casual, athletic and everyday shoes with sufficient toe-box space. This product provides cushioning and toe separation. It does not permanently correct a bunion or replace medical assessment for persistent foot pain.

Product Benefits Cushions Sensitive Bunions The attached gel pad covers the side of the big-toe joint, helping create a soft barrier between the bunion and the shoe. Helps Reduce Toe Friction The integrated spacer separates the first and second toes, helping reduce skin-on-skin rubbing and irritation.

Two Functions in One Product Customers receive toe separation and bunion cushioning without needing to wear two separate accessories. Universal Left-or-Right Design The pad can be positioned on either foot, making inventory and customer selection simple. Comfortable Gel Construction The flexible material conforms around the toes and forefoot without rigid components.

What Is Included One Gel Toe Spreader with Bunion Pad Combo Not Included Second pad Shoes Socks Bunion sleeve Toe cap Medication Orthotic insole Clearly state “One pad included” in the Shopify listing because customers may otherwise assume that a pair is supplied. Size and Fit Size One Size Fits Most Side Fits either the left or right foot Fit Guidance The product should: Sit comfortably between the big toe and second toe Cover the bunion area without folding Remain secure during normal walking Avoid causing numbness, tingling or excessive toe separation Fit inside the shoe without making the toe box feel tight Customers should wear footwear with adequate width and depth. A narrow toe box can increase pressure even when a bunion cushion is worn. How to Use Wash and completely dry the foot. Identify the foot requiring support. Gently position the spacer between the big toe and second toe. Pull or smooth the attached gel cushion over the bunion area. Ensure the gel lies flat without folding or twisting. Put on a properly fitting sock if desired. Insert the foot into footwear with sufficient toe-box space. Walk briefly and check for pressure or movement. Remove the pad after initial use and inspect the skin. The spacer should feel comfortable and supportive, not forceful or painful. Care Instructions Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water Rinse thoroughly Allow to air dry completely Do not machine wash Do not machine dry Do not use bleach Keep away from direct heat Store in a clean, dry place Lightly dust with foot powder after drying if the gel becomes tacky OrthoConnectION’s product page does not publish detailed care directions for PG-209, so the physical packaging should take priority if different instructions are provided. Replacement Guidance Replace the pad when: The gel tears or splits The spacer becomes permanently stretched The bunion cushion no longer stays positioned The gel becomes excessively thin or flattened The product becomes difficult to clean The surface becomes rough or damaged It no longer provides adequate cushioning The fit changes due to swelling or progression of the bunion No fixed replacement schedule is published by OrthoConnectION. Safety Information Do not apply over open, infected or draining wounds. Stop use if the product causes numbness, tingling, discolouration, increased swelling or worsening pain. Do not force the big toe into an uncomfortable position. Confirm that the footwear has enough room for the pad. Inspect the skin after initial and extended use. People with diabetes, neuropathy, poor circulation or reduced sensation should consult a healthcare professional before use. Do not use the product as a substitute for assessment of persistent or severe bunion pain. The product cushions and separates the toes but does not permanently correct a bunion.
