Anytime there is something wrong with the feet it can turn out to be a big problem. After all they are responsible for allowing us to get around the way we do. One common problem is bunions. These are painful and can have a dramatic effect on ones mobility. There may be some help for this called Bunion Buddy.
Overview
Bunion Buddy is a form of sock that has been designed to relieve some of the pressure that is put on the bunions from shoe wear. It encompasses the big toe and wraps around the heel of the foot. The Bunion Buddy can be worn alone or it can be worn under socks.
The Claim
The promoters of Bunion Buddy say that the product has been designed in such a way that it won’t create extra pressure on the bunions. The purpose is to protect the bunion from additional pressure and friction.
The Hype
The hype that comes with the Bunion Buddy is that it can be worn comfortably and its not like the bunion pads that tend to only cover one small section of the foot. Those types are difficult to keep in place. Plus the Bunion Buddy is washable so they can be used on a constant basis.
The Cost
The cost for Bunion Buddy is $14.99 plus $6.99 shipping and handling. They say you are buying one but getting one free. So you are getting two.
The Commitment
The commitment for the Bunion Buddy is getting used to wearing it. At first it may feel a little strange because it wraps around the big toe, but its lightweight and stretchy so it won’t feel like it is bulky or binding.
Evaluation
Anyone that has a bunion will be the first to tell you that they will try almost anything to get some type of relief. These normally form on the side of the big toe. They can be quite large in size and just the pressure from a good fitting pair of shoes can cause a great deal of discomfort. It can get to the point for some people that they just can’t bear to put their shoes on. Some resort to actually cutting the side of the shoe where the bunion is. There are several other similar products on the market that are made with the same premise. One of these is Bunion Bootie which looks almost identical to the Bunion Buddy. Out of 150 customer reviews for the Bunion Bootie it has got a three star rating. Then on Amazon there is also another alternative to this called the NatraCure that sells for less and just fits over the big toe. It has gotten a four star rating out of 232 reviews.
Final Bunion Buddy Review
We are prepared to give the Bunion Buddy a try/buy. It is worth trying if nothing else has worked so far to help relieve your bunion discomfort. It is reasonably priced and you do get two for the price you are paying. Which is good because it is quite common to form a bunion on each foot.
Our Recommendation
If you feel like you would like to try something different for your bunion relief then you may want to take a look at the Squeeze Reliever.
My sister bought it for me but I like Bunion Bootie much better. This one didn’t do anything for me.
