Question:

Can you show how this product would be used to help a tailor's bunion?

Answer:

The Forefoot Callus Protector can be used to buffer around the tailor's bunion by placing the opening of the pad around the bump. One of the images for the Forefoot Callus Protector shows a tailor's bunion cut-out.  The pads are also easily modified with scissors.

Question:

Are these a single use pad or can I use them over again?

Answer:

Forefoot Callus Protectors are a single time use but can be kept on for several days at a time. Keeping the pad dry will enable you to wear it indefinitely, although we advise wearing it for no more that 3 days at a time. The skin needs to breath.

Question:

Do these come in a thicker version? I have a transfer lesion on the ball of my foot and if these were a little bit thicker they would be perfect.

Answer:

We don't carry these in any thickness other than 1/8", but I do have 2 suggestions. First, you can use 2 at a time, sticking one on top of the other for a 1/4" thickness. Also, you can try buying our Felt Metatarsal Pads, which are 1/4" thick, and cutting them to shape.
