How Does the All Gel Bunion Cushion Work?

Designed to slip over the toe and guard the side of your foot where bunions, corns and calluses so often develop, the Silipod Hallux Bunion Cushion uses a gel pad to shield the affected area against friction, abrasion and contact.

• Designed to fit over the big toe for complete protection
• Thin design fits inside most styles of footwear
• Helps reduce scarring after surgery
• Latex free and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin

Who Can Benefit from the Silipos All Gel Hallux Bunion Cushion?

The Silipos All Gel Hallux Bunion Cushion is suitable for reducing friction between the foot and shoe material. This is great for hallux bunions (bunions on the big toe), as well as the corns and calluses that tend to accompany a bunion.

The Bunion Cushion has uses the gel inside the sleeve to help soften and moisturise the skin, preventing crusting and cracking. This reduces the painful and uncomfortable rubbing sensation that bunions so often cause.

How Do I Apply a Bunion Cushion?

Getting your Cushion on couldn't be easier. Simply place the circular section of the sleeve over your big toe and position the lengthy side section over the affected area before you don your socks. For an extra-secure fit, you can even take a bit of skin-friendly surgical tape and tape over the of the cushion to reinforce the security of your fit.

How Does Gel Help With Healing?

If you have a bunion or callus, the last thing you want when protecting it is to rip the skin off when you remove the protective coating you've applied. Silipos products all use an innovative gel formula that slowly releases a gel over time to hydrate and soften the skin whilst you're wearing the sleeve.

This leaves skin feeling soft and fresh once the shield is removed, preventing reinjury and your skin cracking.

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.
