Sunchine: The splints are amazing and work wonderfully. I had a slight learning curve in that I didn't realize they were left/right specific. You CAN wear them on either but they are properly worn with the logo facing up, so if you walk around in them a little, that way you aren't walking on the velcro attachment and they are much more comfortable if worn properly. You can trim the fabric around the toe attachment on the splints, I had to because it rubbed the webbing in between my toes and felt horrible, but after I trimmed the fabric they are great. The sleeves, however, while excellent in concept are not useful. I am female and wear a size 9.5 shoe, so my feet are not ginormous and on par with the average male. The sleeves said they were size L, but not an American L. They cut off the circulation in my toe as they are way too tight/small. I really wanted these to work as they would be awesome to wear with shoes. There is no way to adjust the sleeves, they are what they are. The splints alone are worth the cost, however. And I highly recommend them if you have a bunion(s).

Janeway & Jane A., all day.: Backstory: I stubbed my second- (or "pointer-") toe about five years ago on a wooden bedpost and at the time didn't seek medical attention because I figured there wouldn't be anything to be done about it anyway. Throughout the years I'd have awful foot pain when walking, but this past year it became increasingly painful- even when sitting or laying down. After finally being able to see a Podiatrist last month (over video, of course,) she recommended finding a product like this that I could wear to stabilize my foot. As it turns out, I didn't/don't have a bunion but I'd apparently been walking around with Metatarsalgia and Capsulitis of my MTP Joint for years...

Onto the Product itself: The daytime sleeves are pretty self-explanatory and work well, although I can really only wear a few pairs of shoes comfortably with it on (only need one for the right foot.) I'd recommend wearing shoes with a wider toe box if you aren't already. The brace for night-time is a little confusing at first, but once you get it set up the first time it's easier to maneuver. Having the aluminum bar to help keep everything in alignment while you're sleeping really does help to ease the pain!...

Miss K: I purchased these because I had sudden extreme pain in my right big toe and assumed it was a bunion because it kinda looked like a bunion. But what I have may be Gout?...which is also incredibly painful!!

Either way...this brace provided some relief when used in conjunction with ice packs and anti-inflammatory pain relievers.

The downside is that you obviously can't wear this with shoes and the included pieces that are meant to be worn with shoes were too tight, too painful and hard to put on. I needed the "cushion" part to be on the "outside" of my toe where the bunion/swelling is....not on the inside where the big toe is separated from the second toe.

Either way...this is better than nothing and the metal plate provides gentle pressure during the evening and is good to wear around the house.

The slip on pair are useless to me.
