Correction and prevention for Bunion
Bunion or bunion is a misalignment of the big toe that can vary in severity and sometimes causes pain. Taping socks are two-toe socks with an integrated lateral tape that pulls the toe into its natural position.
The socks are available in two thicknesses and can be used for correction (strong) of Bunion as well as for prevention (medium) can be used.
Simple support in everyday life
Unlike classic taping, there is no need to stick anything extra on and replace them regularly. Put on the taping socksand you're done: the socks can easily be worn in everyday life, in slippers or street shoes.
- easy to use, no side effects
- fit in most shoes
- correct the position of the big toe even when walking
- Hygienic and skin-friendly (no irritation as with taping)
- Available in two different thicknesses
Notes on the application
Choose the right thickness
For the prevention or correction of a light Bunion we recommend the medium version.
The strong version is recommended for correcting a stronger Bunion or after an Bunion operation.
Still unsure?
You can also easily "measure" the required thickness on your toe. To do this, take a tension scale and place the strap around your big toe. Pull the other end of the scale parallel to the floor away from the toe(note: the foot must be unloaded on the floor). As soon as a constant value is given, you have your result:
- up to 150 grams: medium
- over 150 grams: strong
Habituation and wearing time
It takes time to correct the big toe joint - and the stronger the bunion, the longer it takes for the joint to get used to it.
We therefore recommend wearing the Taping Socks for 1-2 hours a day at first and increasing the durationover the course of a week until you can wear the socks all day.
It is best to wear the Taping Socks in shoes that leave enough room for the toes and supplement wearing them with gymnastic exercises to mobilize the big toe joint.
Material and care instructions
The tape inside the sock complies with the Oeko-Tex standard and is therefore particularly skin-friendly. The socks are made from 90% cotton and are machine washable at up to 60°C.
