Product Instructions and Tips
Hyggear Bunion Fixed Strap Correctors
Images
Positioning
- These correctors are side-specific — there is a left and a right piece. Make sure to wear each one on the correct foot for proper alignment and support.
- The built-in aluminum strip should run along the inner side of your foot, from the bunion area to just below the big toe.
- Wrap the splint firmly around your foot using the adjustable straps, so the corrector stays securely in place.
- Use the toe strap to gently pull the big toe into a more natural position — it should feel snug but not painful.
Start Slowly
Begin with 15–30 minutes per day to let your feet adjust. Gradually increase usage to 1–2 hours daily or as comfortable.
Best Use Cases
- While relaxing at home (watching TV, reading, etc.)
- During light activities like yoga or stretching
- While sleeping (optional, use with socks to prevent slipping)
- Avoid wearing them inside tight or non-stretchable shoes.
With Shoes?
- Not recommended for use inside snug or formal shoes.
- You can wear them inside wider sneakers or with socks around the house.
Adjustment Period – Mild Discomfort Is Normal
- It’s completely normal to feel slight discomfort or pressure when you first start using the correctors.
- That’s because your toes are beginning to realign, and the corrector's material is adapting to the shape of your foot — while your foot is also adjusting to the new positioning.
- Think of it like wearing braces for your toes: alignment takes time, and it’s not always a perfectly smooth process.
- Start slowly — 15 to 30 minutes a day is enough at first. Gradually increase the duration as your comfort improves.
- Be patient and consistent — most users begin noticing visible changes and relief after several days to weeks of regular use.
Cleaning Instructions
- Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap.
- Air dry completely before next use.
- Optional: Sprinkle a bit of talcum powder if material feels sticky.
