The mid-calf Knitido Dr. Foot Hallux Valgus socks prevent deformities (bunions) and promote the realignment of the toes.
- Toe socks relieve the toe area of tension.
- The toes gain mobility, which relieves the side muscles of the leg and ensures relaxation.
- A compression band on the forefoot supports the weakened muscles and ligaments responsible for bunions and relieves the joints.
How do Knitido Dr. Foot Bunion Toe Socks work?
1. Toe separation
Separating the toes relieves tension in the arch of the foot. This allows the toes to move independently again.
This stimulates the sensory system: the toes move more, can become more flexible and stronger, and are brought back into the walking process.
The side muscles can recover from the constant tension. As a result, the muscles and tendons return to their natural original position.
At the same time, you should try to actively work against your hallux valgus with suitable exercises. Your physical therapist or podiatrist can help you.
2. Compression on the joint affected by the bunion
Using a compression band, our toe socks draw the metatarsal bone together, i.e. the joint affected by the bunion. The light but constant pressure on the bone causes the foot and the big toe to spread slightly outward by about 1°. Depending on the severity of the hallux valgus, this can bring relief and further ease the side muscles.
Unlike orthoses, for example, which correct the alignment of the foot by holding it in a splint, Knitido takes the opposite approach: we free the toe area from the tension caused by bag-shaped socks. In this way, our socks pave the way for the self-healing process: the toes return to their natural position, move more and can become stronger.
