LESS PAIN, BETTER PERFORMANCE!
Your bunion aches in your sports shoes and you are looking for a solution that allows you to continue playing sports without pain? Look no further, EPITACT® has created the flexible bunion corrector for sports activities.
Description of the flexible bunion corrector for sport
Splints, protections, straighteners, correctors… there are so many solutions to soothe and correct your bunions, also called hallux valgus. And yet, not many are specially adapted for sports.
The sport bunion support is a concentrate of technology that corrects the deformity and relieves bunion pain during physical activities, in particular walking and running. By realigning the big toe, it improves the distribution of loads to the forefoot, limits pronation, optimises propulsion and helps prevent injuries. It also fights against all the factors that aid the development of bunion deformity and pain during walking.
How does it work?
The effectiveness of the flexible sport bunion corrector is based on a technical pattern including:
1) a patented silicone tendon EPITHELIUMFLEX™ that straightens the big toe as you stretch the fabric backwards on your foot. It also protects your bunion from pressure and friction against the shoe.
2) a patch of EPITHELIUM™ acts as a comfortable cushion against the brace which pushes back the first metatarsal.
3) a contention metatarsal band that limits widening of the forefoot.

Bunion orthotics are too bulky to wear in sports shoes.
TRUE and FALSE! It is true that most orthotics currently on the market are not compatible with sports footwear: they are too rigid and bulky. To meet the needs of sportspersons, EPITACT® has designed a bunion corrector that is so thin that it fits any sports shoes, even the most specialised ones (including ballet shoes).
You can't protect your bump with a plaster during sport: you need a bunion corrector!
TRUE! Actually, bunion supports for sports do more than just protect your bunion. By realigning your big toe, it is able to produce more drive as it pushes off the floor. This is a crucial part of running technique, for example.
Sports activities are not compatible with a bunion.
FALSE! Except in the case of major functional discomfort, having a bunion doesn’t involve sports restrictions, but protecting the toe is crucial. Indeed, some sports involve repeated pressure on the side of the foot, for example running and tennis. So, the EPITACT® bunion corrector for sports protects the bump and relieves pain but does not impede movements.
