Profoot SoftGel Bunion Protector uses cutting edge polymer gel technology, which offers fast relief from painful bunions. By reducing virtually all pressure and friction to the area, the Bunion Protector conforms to the toe helping to give you all day, pain free comfort. The Gel also contains mineral oil that helps to soften and prevent corns and calluses. SoftGel Bunion Protector has a slim, low profile to fit easily in any shoe and the tacky nature of the gel helps keep the product in place.
