When did that bump start rubbing?

Nobody decides to get a bunion. It starts with a shoe that feels a little tighter on one side. Then it's the sandals you stop wearing, the walks you cut short, the bump that burns at the end of the day. Your big toe leans a little more every year.

✔ Trying on two pairs of shoes before going out
✔ Sandals that stay in the closet
✔ A red bump at the end of the day
✔ Walking a little sideways without noticing
✔ Going up a size so it fits
✔ Hiding your feet all summer

Pads and spacers protect the bump from rubbing. That's useful. But they don't touch what makes the toe lean. What's missing is a guide that gently brings your big toe back toward its place while you relax.

Made for your evenings, not for a drawer

The adjustable hinge

A hinge that guides

Not a piece of silicone that spreads your toes. An adjustable hinge that guides your big toe toward its place, at the tension you choose.

One size, left or right foot

One size, both feet

No shoe size to pick, no side to order. It fits the left foot just like the right, from the smallest to the largest.

On the couch, in the evening

While you relax

It doesn't go in your shoes, and that's on purpose: it works while you're sitting. In front of the TV, while reading, or at night when you're ready.

A bunion is a tug-of-war

Your big toe is held in place by two muscles that each pull their own way. As long as they're even, the toe stays straight. When one wins, the toe slowly starts to lean, and the joint sticks out on the side of your foot. That's the bump.

The Toe Guide hinge guiding the big toe toward its place

How the hinge works while you wear it.

One muscle pulled too tight

After years of pointy shoes, it pulls the big toe toward the others, every hour of every day.

One muscle that gave up

The one on the other side doesn't pull anything back anymore. The bump grows, and the shoe keeps rubbing in the same spot.

A hinge that pulls back

The Toe Guide gently pulls the other way while you relax. The rope changes sides.

Set at your own pace

Gentle tension the first few evenings, then you go up as your foot gets used to it. Nothing forces.

Set up in three moves

One size. The only thing that matters is taking it slow.

Step 1
STEP 1

Put it on

Sit down, foot flat. Place the loop around your big toe, then fasten the strap around your foot.

Step 2
STEP 2

Set the tension

Adjust the hinge to your comfort. The first few evenings, start gently: you should feel the guide, not pain.

Step 3
STEP 3

Relax for thirty minutes

In front of the TV or while reading. Then work up to one to three hours, and wear it at night once you're comfortable.

I put it on in the evening during my show, it's become a habit like my glasses. This summer, my sandals came back out of the closet.

My wife ordered it for herself, the 2-pack was one for each foot. I ended up taking the second one. Now we both wear them in front of the TV.

I had a drawer full of gel pads that all slipped. With this one, you can feel it guiding the toe, and you set the tension yourself.

The first few evenings, it's a strange feeling. After a week, I don't even notice it. I read my book, and that's it.

Forty years standing in work boots. I didn't think a little thing like this would interest me. My daughter insisted, she was right.

No shoe size to choose, no left or right. I put it on in ten seconds, even with my stiff fingers at night.

I was walking a little sideways so it would rub less, without even noticing. My daughter pointed it out to me.

The first evening I had it too tight, it was too strong. I followed the little card in the box, gentle tension to start, and now it's fine.

I'm not saying it's magic. I'm saying the end of my day in my shoes is easier. For me, that's big.

Bought it for my 76-year-old mother. She called to tell me she liked it. Coming from her, that's rare.

Decent, but the first two evenings I found it strong. I lowered the tension like the FAQ says and now it's better. I just needed to know.

You have to take the time to place the loop properly on the big toe. Once that's done, it doesn't move.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of bump is it for?
For a bunion: the bump on the side of your foot, at the base of the big toe, when the big toe starts leaning toward the others. A bump on the little-toe side is a different thing, and this isn't the product for it.
Does it fit in my shoes?
No, and that's on purpose. The Toe Guide works while you're sitting: in front of the TV, while reading, or at night. You can take a few steps with it, but that's not what it's for.
It looks simple. Does it really do anything?
We hear that a lot. Your big toe is held by two muscles that each pull their own way; over the years, one wins and the toe starts to lean. Pads protect the bump, but they don't touch that tug-of-war. The hinge gently brings the toe back the other way while you relax.
Is one order one or two?
It depends on the offer you choose: one, two or four. Most people take the 2-pack, because bunions often show up on both feet: one for each foot.
What size should I choose? Left or right?
There's only one size, from small feet to large. And no side: it fits the left foot just like the right. Not sure? Email us.
How do I put it on?
Sit down, foot flat. Place the loop around your big toe, fasten the strap around your foot, then adjust the hinge. Ten seconds, once you get the hang of it.
It's uncomfortable at first. Is that normal?
Yes. The first few evenings, the feeling is new. Start with gentle tension and go up at your own pace. You should feel the guide, not pain. If it pulls too much, lower the tension a notch.
How long should I wear it each day?
Start with thirty minutes in the evening. Then work up to one to three hours, at your own pace.
Can I sleep with it?
Yes, once you're comfortable with it. Many people end up keeping it on all night. Start with your evenings on the couch, the nights will come on their own.
I've already tried pads and spacers. Why this one?
Because they don't do the same job. A pad protects the bump from rubbing, and a spacer separates the toes only while it's there. The Toe Guide brings your big toe back toward its place with a hinge you adjust yourself.
Does it go with the Night Knee Sleeve?
Yes. Many people have both: the Knee Sleeve for the knees, the Toe Guide for the foot. Both are worn in the evening and at night, without getting in each other's way.
What's the 60-day guarantee?
Simple: use it thirty minutes a day for 60 days. Less foot pain in 4 weeks, or it's free. One email, full refund.
Where are you based?
In Quebec. A Canadian brand, with service in English and French and replies within 24 hours.
How long does shipping take?
Your order ships quickly with a tracking number, and arrives anywhere in Canada in 2 to 7 business days.
