It's a thin insert of \u003cstrong\u003e1 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, in \u003cstrong\u003esize L\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point to understand before buying it is declared by the manufacturer himself: \u003cstrong\u003eprotects, not corrects\u003c\/strong\u003e. Hallux valgus is a bony deviation, and no soft insert straightens it. What this product does is get the \u003cstrong\u003erubbing pain\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the part of the problem that you feel every time you walk in a shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material is\u003cstrong\u003eEpithelium 26\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003ePatented silicone gel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The number that matters is the thickness: \u003cstrong\u003e1 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. A pad would often protect more but would take up volume inside the shoe, and on a protrusion already in conflict with the upper, adding volume means adding pressure. A millimeter is the useful measurement in case of \u003cstrong\u003eclosed shoes\u003c\/strong\u003e, where there is no space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProtection is \u003cstrong\u003ereversible\u003c\/strong\u003e: it is worn on both feet by turning it inside out, so there is no right and left version. It is \u003cstrong\u003ewashable\u003c\/strong\u003e e \u003cstrong\u003ereusable\u003c\/strong\u003e, and this distinguishes it from disposable foam plasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003ehallux valgus\u003c\/strong\u003e it doesn't hurt per se: it hurts because the protrusion of the joint touches the shoe with every step and the skin above it becomes inflamed. It is the reason why the pain changes with the shoe and not with the deviation, and why a millimeter of \u003cstrong\u003egel\u003c\/strong\u003e in the right place it weighs more than the size suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are three sizes, \u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e e \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e, and this is the \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eEpitact\u003c\/strong\u003e is the French brand specializing in thin silicone gel orthoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eINDICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is Epitact Hallux Valgus Protection Gel Size L used?
