Why Store-Bought Insoles Often Fail Bunions
Understanding the difference between simply cushioning the bump versus mechanically correcting the rotation is key to stopping progression.
Generic Insoles
mass produced
-
Crowds the Toebox
Thick, generic foam often takes up too much room, increasing pressure on the bunion bump.
-
Fails to Stop Pronation
Soft arches flatten under weight, allowing the foot to roll inward which pushes the big toe out.
-
Temporary Comfort Only
Provides initial cushioning but does not correct the biomechanical fault causing the deformity.
Bilt Labs Custom
Medical-Grade Orthotics
-
Stops Progression
Rigid support prevents overpronation, neutralizing the force that pushes the big toe inward.
-
Precision Molded Fit
Fabricated from a mold of your foot to ensure 100% contact without crowding the toes.
-
Off-Loads Pressure
Transfers weight away from the painful first metatarsal joint to the rest of the foot.
What is a Bunion?
The Mechanics of Hallux Valgus
A bunion (Hallux Valgus) is a deformity where the first metatarsal bone drifts outward, causing the big toe to lean inward toward the other toes. This creates the characteristic "bump" on the side of the foot.
While footwear can aggravate it, the primary cause is often biomechanical instability—specifically overpronation. When the arch collapses, it unlocks the first ray of the foot, allowing the bone to drift.
Common Symptoms:
- A visible bump on the inside of the foot at the big toe joint.
- Swelling, redness, or soreness around the big toe joint.
- Corns or calluses where the first and second toes overlap.
- Pain that is worse when wearing tight shoes.
Why Orthotics Are The Primary Treatment
The goal of treatment is to Stop Progression.
Orthotics cannot "erase" the bone growth, but they can stop it from getting worse. By stabilizing the arch and correcting pronation, custom orthotics remove the deforming force on the big toe joint. This relieves pain and can prevent the need for surgery.
