Knitido Dr. Foot Bunion Toe Socks

Knitido Dr. Foot Bunion Toe Socks mid-calf prevent Bunion and support the body's self-healing

Knitido Dr. Foot Bunion Toe Socks - Your advantages

• Toe socks relieve the toe area from tensile stress.
• The toes gain mobility − which in turn relieves the lateral leg muscles and ensures relaxation.
• A compression band on the forefoot supports the weakened muscles and ligaments that are responsible for the Bunion and leads to joint relief.

How Knitido Dr. Foot Bunion Toe Socks work

Our product follows two approaches.

1. Toe separation

Separating the toes relieves tension in the arch of the foot. This allows the toes to move independently again.

This stimulates the sensory system, the toes move more, can become more flexible and stronger, and are reintegrated into the gait process.

The lateral muscles can recover from the constant strain. As a result, the muscles and tendons return to their natural starting position.

At the same time, you should actively work against your Bunion with appropriate exercises − your physiotherapist, chiropractor or podiatrist will be happy to support you.

2. Compression on the joint affected by the Bunion

Thanks to a compression band, our toe socks pull the metatarsal bone, i.e. the joint affected by Bunion, together. The slight but constant pressure exerted on the bone causes a slight spreading between the foot and the big toe, by about 1° outwards. Depending on the severity of the Hallux, this can lead to immediate relief and further relieves the lateral muscles.

Unlike orthotics, for example, which correct the alignment of the foot by splinting it, Knitido takes the opposite approach: We free the toe area from tension caused by sack-like socks. In this way, our socks open up space for the self-healing process: the toes return to their natural position, move more and can strengthen themselves.

What is Bunion and how does it develop?

Bunion has many possible causes and manifestations: Incorrect footwear, incorrect socks, too little foot movement, but also an inherited weakness of the connective tissue can be the reason.

It often develops slowly, over years, and becomes visible and often noticeable through a thickened metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. This thickening causes the big toe to migrate inward. Normally, lateral muscles and tendons hold it in position so that it points straight ahead in a radial pattern - like a fan.

If these muscles and tendons lose their function, the toe slowly bends inward and the ball of the foot becomes apparent, especially in contact with shoes, but often also when walking.

Regardless of the underlying causes, Bunion occurs in most cases due to the loss of function of the muscles and tendons that should actually hold the toes in position.
