Bunion Bootie More Effective & Faster to Apply

If you’re an athlete, chances are you’ve heard of or seen KT or athletic tape.  KT Tape is the colorful athletic tape that has taken the market by storm, helping athletes suffering from a wide variety of ailments on the body, from the neck to the toes, to stay active.

Athletes suffering from bunion pain are also using it to help stabilize their big toe during their sports activities.  However, there might be a faster alternative.  Bunion Bootie seeks out to accomplish what the taping protocol hopes to provide the athlete;

1. Big toe joint stability – keeping the big toe in its own lane (if you will) and preventing it from rubbing up against and colliding with the second toe. Doing so can help the athlete maintain a proper running gait as well as allow them to quickly change direction during their run without losing ground.
2. Reduced pain – Those with bunions can confirm by just looking at their foot that their toe is in an abnormal position. This alone or in conjunction with joint irritation (that often leads to swelling), bursitis (a fluid filled sac that can sometimes cover the bunion joint), or nerve damage from previous surgeries of the foot and/or bunion, can all result in sharp shooting pains in the big toe joint.  Taping or wearing a properly fitted Bunion Bootie can help to alleviate those pains.
3. Prevent blisters – Most athletes are no strangers to blisters but it doesn’t mean that they are welcome. Both taping and Bunion Booties can help to prevent bunions from forming on the bunion, or big toe joint where the protruding bone comes into contact with the shoe.
4. Reduce inflammation – Aligning your big toe in a way that allows the greatest blood flow will by the rules of nature, help reduce inflammation, stiffness, and soreness.

In addition, Bunion Bootie is much quicker to apply to the foot, it can be washed and re-used (laundering instructions come with each purchase), and it comes off the foot without removing skin and hair, or leaving behind a dirt outline of where the tape once lived.  Finally, just doing a quick scan of Dr. Google, we found at least 5 different ways that athletes are advised to tape their bunion.  Maybe some are more effective than others but you would have to find the one that works best for your foot.  Bunion Bootie can only be worn one way.

Taping is a great solution for many athletes but for those of us without a sports trainer on staff, when sized appropriately Bunion Booties can help the athlete achieve the very same objectives.

As stated by Stephanie, an actual Bunion Bootie customer, “[I bought the Bunion Bootie] to avoid the need to tape my foot to realign my big toe. Taping was hard to manage with showers and swimming, and caused skin irritation. Material is super thin but strong.”

Best of luck finding what works best for you!
