What Is a Tailor's Bunion?

Tailor's bunion simply refer to a bunion that has grown on the fifth metatarsal, or the little toe as it's colloquially known. Caused by inflammation and made worse by contact, abrasion and rubbing, a Tailor's bunion can be extremely painful if the correct support sleeve or protective pad isn't worn to prevent irritation.

Who Can Benefit From Using a Gel Bunion Cushion?

A Tailor's Bunion Cushion is designed to help the foot recover after the development of a nasty condition, like:

• Bunions
• Corns 
• Calluses
• Blisters
• Irritation
• Rubbing
• Tailor's Bunion

How Do I Correctly Apply My Sleeve?

Getting your Tailor's Bunion Cushion on couldn't be easier. Designed for the fifth metatarsal side of the foot, simply hook the ring loop over your little toe and position the pad so the gel section is covering the afflicted area.

Antimicrobial Properties

This gel cushion is part of the Silipos Antibacterial range of foot care products. Made with antimicrobial ingredients that are proven to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria and fungus, it help minimise foot odour and the amount of perspiration that builds up when tight, compressive shoes are routinely worn.

Reduce Friction, Irritation and Contact

The number one thing for treating a bunion is to cover it up and prevent constant contact with shoes, material and abrasive surfaces. The Silipos Gel Cushion allows you to position a soft layer between your foot and your shoe, creating a barrier that stops friction and irritation in their tracks.

Innovative Gel Soothes and Heals the Skin

The fabric sleeve is coated in Silipos gel which helps to soften and moisturise the skin whilst healing occurs. Encouraging the healing process along the way, this gel coating is a medical grade mineral oil that prevents the skin cracking and breaking under the sleeve.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
