ZenToes 48 CT Bunion Cushions Waterproof and Odor Resistant Toe and Foot Protector Pads

I bought these to try as an alternative to blister bandaids (the clear, squishy kind from Compeed and others). I wear blister bandaids differently than their intended use - I wear them to prevent blisters, not to protect ones that have already formed. I walk 7-10k steps per day on my commute, and every single kind of blister-specific product I tried wasn’t holding up to that kind of wear, especially on sweaty feet in summer months. Even the expensive ones eventually gave up the ghost and fell off, leaving my feet exposed to injury. These bunion pads are a LIFESAVER. The adhesive is incredibly strong. They stay put all day, in the worst heat and humidity, no matter how much walking I do. I wear them every day with my work shoes, and I will wear them to all future formal events. I wish I could buy them in bulk. A word to the wise: after applying, let them sit for a minute or two before putting shoes over them, to allow the adhesive to settle. If they get even partially removed from your foot, the adhesive will stick to the inside of your shoe, where it will a) be annoying to remove and b) potentially damage or ruin the shoe. A single one of these that got dislodged inside my shoe managed to separate several inches of the footbed lining from the base! (And I’m not even mad about it, because that ridiculously strong adhesive is why I love these pads so much.)

This is a good product for first time of using You cannot reuse it will not stick

So I have what I guess is a tailors bunion, it’s on the small toe side not the big toe side like most people. That being said, I wasn’t sure what to expect. At first I thought they were too big since mine is on the smaller side and on the small toe side of my foot. I was wrong, they’re perfect. Also at first I tried to put these higher up the foot so I wouldn’t step on it all day but that turned out to be a bad idea. After a couple days and a few different locations later, I found the sweet spot and these are amazing. No more pain. Backstory: I work in a hospital and I’m on my feet all day, literally all day. I average 22,000ish steps a day just at work. Once a week I also do what we call a turnaround shift. Work 8 hours, go home and sleep 4 hours and then come back and work another 8 hours, so in one 24 hour period I take 44,000-ish steps, way more than the average person. My left foot is absolutely killing me after that, hurts to walk in any kind of way. Then I get my 2 days off and I stay off my feet as much as I can for those 2 days so I can rest my foot until I do it all over again. Anyways, I just finished my first turnaround shift since buying these, and wow, no pain after work. No pain this morning, no pain on my day off for the first time in a very, very, long time. My foot feels so good I’ll probably go out and spend all day on my feet doing projects around the house. I highly recommended these. Placement is key though, make sure bunion is not near pad crease, it’ll just make it worse. Also, I change mine daily simply because I walk so much and they’re pretty worn by end of the day. Days off I’ll probably keep it on longer but work days, I change before every shift. These really are a game changer. If you’re thinking about trying some, just go ahead and try them, it’s worth it.

I have two toes that rub together causing friction and pain. I use two pads between the toes to stop the friction. I also have a hammertoe that rubs the inside of the shoe. I put a pad on top of that toe and once again no more pain.

Amazing fit comfort
