I have tried a bunch of different approaches, the toe spacers, another bunion device from Europe, happy toe socks, but I have to say, the Treatmedy actually does a good job. I just wear it when I go to sleep for a couple of hours, because it is a bit uncomfortable to walk with them on. The straps are a little flexible, that’s something I would change. I have worn them for six weeks now, and I do notice a difference.
