The Core Difference

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.

PODIATRIST RECOMMENDED

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.

Understanding The Condition

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.

Fast Facts

  • Prevalence: Affects 23% of adults aged 18-65.
  • Cause: Genetics & Biomechanics (Overpronation).
  • Success: 90% manage pain without surgery (AAOS).

Bunions FAQ

Expert answers on treating hallux valgus with custom orthotics.

Do orthotics work for bunions?
Yes. While orthotics cannot remove an existing bunion bone, they are highly effective at stopping the progression of the deformity. By correcting overpronation, orthotics remove the pressure that pushes the big toe inward, relieving pain and preventing the bunion from getting worse.
What is the best custom orthotic for bunions?
The best orthotic for bunions is a custom-molded device with specific arch support to control pronation. Bilt Labs orthotics are designed with a deep heel cup and arch reinforcement to stabilize the foot, ensuring weight is distributed evenly away from the painful big toe joint.
Can orthotics straighten a bunion?
No non-surgical device can 'straighten' the bone once it has shifted. However, custom orthotics effectively realign the foot's function to prevent the force that causes the deviation, halting further shifting and relieving the associated pain and inflammation.
Does insurance cover orthotics for bunions?
Coverage varies by plan. Bilt Labs orthotics are FSA/HSA eligible, allowing you to use pre-tax health funds. They are significantly more affordable than traditional clinic orthotics, often costing less than a standard insurance copay/deductible.
How do I stop my bunions from hurting?
To stop bunion pain, you must address the root cause: joint pressure. Wear wide-toed shoes to reduce friction, use ice for inflammation, and wear custom orthotics to correct the foot mechanics (overpronation) that are stressing the joint.
