Gentle Daily Bunion Alignment
Bunion-Free for Life
"I'd been quietly dreading surgery. Six weeks of wearing this in the evenings and I can finally face a full day on my feet."
Left unchecked
Once the big toe starts drifting, every step in a narrow shoe nudges it further. The bump grows, shoes start to hurt, and 'I'll deal with it later' becomes the plan.
The styles you love start to pinch exactly where the joint sticks out.
A drifting big toe crowds the others — hello, hammertoes.
And nearly half of bunions are reported to return even after an operation.
The Bunion Aligner gives the joint a gentle, daily nudge in the other direction — the easy, no-knife thing to try first.
How it works
A few hours a day is enough to build the habit.
Slide the loop over your big toe so the soft hinge sits along the joint.
Start with an hour or two around the house and build up as it feels natural.
Daily wear is what does the gentle work — keep it by the sofa as a reminder.

Wear it for
Best results come from starting early, while the joint is still flexible.
How Curavi fixes this
The soft silicone hinge sits between your big toe and second toe, applying continuous gentle lateral pressure that nudges the big toe back toward its natural midline. Worn 4-6 hours daily over 6-8 weeks, this re-trains the connective tissue around the MTP joint while it's still flexible — addressing the misalignment before it becomes rigid.
What buyers say
My GP mentioned an operation 'eventually.' I wanted to try the gentle route first. Glad I did.
Soft, not a hard plastic splint. I wear it while I cook dinner.
Won't claim miracles, but my toe sits straighter than it did two months ago.

Questions, answered
No, and it doesn't claim to. The Bunion Aligner is a non-invasive daily alignment device — it gently coaxes the big toe back toward its natural midline over weeks, which can prevent further progression and ease everyday discomfort, but it can't reverse advanced structural changes the way an osteotomy can. That said: many wearers tell us consistent daily use is meaningful enough that they delay or avoid surgery entirely, especially when started early.
If your doctor has specifically recommended a surgical procedure, follow that advice. But if you're early in the bunion's progression, this is what we'd reach for first.
No — at most you should feel a gentle stretching sensation on the inside of the big toe joint, never sharp pain. The silicone hinge applies continuous low-grade pressure rather than forcing the toe abruptly into position.
Start with 30–60 minute sessions in the evening, then build to 4–6 hours per day over the first week. If the joint feels sore (not stretched) afterward, you're doing too much too soon — back off and rebuild slowly. Sharp pain means stop wearing it and check with a clinician.
Most people notice less day-to-day discomfort within 2–3 weeks of consistent daily wear. Visible alignment changes take longer — typically 6–12 weeks of daily use for the soft tissue around the MTP joint to fully retrain, and longer still if the bunion is more established.
The earlier you start in the bunion's progression, the more change is possible. Skipping the occasional day isn't catastrophic, but consistency drives the result far more than session length does.
It's designed primarily for barefoot or in-sock wear at home, and it fits comfortably inside roomy shoes, slippers, or sandals with extra toe-box space. It's not made for tight dress shoes, work boots, or running shoes — the hinge needs room to do its job, and squeezing it into a narrow toe box defeats the purpose.
Most wearers use it after work and on weekends, which is more than enough contact time. The Curavi Drifter barefoot shoes are also a natural fit for daytime wear.
