You can try looping it over both the big toe and your second toe as long as there is no discomfort and not so tight that it causes swelling or circulation compromise. Also try wearing it with a sock over it to help keep it in place.

Yes, this product would be a good option for pain caused by a bunion. Bunions increase the forefoot's width changing the position of the joint and force the great toe to function in a way that can cause arthritis. This product should help with relieving pressure.

Question:
I had bunion surgery. Can I wear this bunion shield before my sutures are removed to cushion wear it is still sore?
Answer:
The Felt Bunion Shield is intended to be used to cushion a bunion from shoe pressure. Following bunion surgery, there would be no shoe that would be pressing against the bunion since you'd be in a post-op shoe. Also, the elastic strap on The Bunion Shield may irritate the incision. Be sure to consult your podiatrist before using The Felt Bunion Shield for this application.
