Are bunions and plantar pains causing you discomfort? It's no surprise: when the deformity is large enough, the big toe is no longer able to support its function. The pressures are then transferred to under the foot, at the base of the 2nd and 3rd toes. In these areas of excessive pressure, the consequences are quickly felt: a bunion forms and calluses appear. Walking then becomes painful. The goal is to protect the bony protrusion that is the "bunion" and also distribute the pressures under the foot. This is what EPITACT's double protection pads do.
