ORTMANN VALGU orthotic socks offer a new method for preventing and treating bunions (hallux valgus). These comfortable socks gently realign the big toe to its physiologically correct position, helping to reduce pain and inflammation in the big toe joint, alleviate fatigue and discomfort during walking, and prevent further disease progression and bunion growth. Developed by leading German orthotics manufacturer ORTMANN, VALGU socks utilize a professional taping technique to hold the bones and ligaments of the foot in the correct position. Your feet will feel more comfortable and less tired when walking. These socks help restore the beauty and health of your feet.
Featuring special elastic zones that work like professional taping: a longitudinal area gently guides the big toe back to its natural position, while a transverse area stabilizes the midfoot (metatarsus), reducing splayfoot. Externally, the socks look like ordinary socks; they're comfortable and suitable for everyone! Men and women, pregnant individuals, children, and people of all ages can wear them. They are effective in the postoperative period and are compatible with most everyday footwear (though heels higher than 3cm should be avoided during treatment).
ORTMANN VALGU orthotic socks are suitable not only for treating but also preventing bunions and other foot conditions, including: big toe deformity leading to overall foot deformity; congenital or acquired flatfoot; fatigue and pain from prolonged walking. Regular use helps prevent further big toe curvature and reduces foot pain. Maximum therapeutic effect is achieved through a comprehensive approach and adherence to other recommendations.
Wearing ORTMANN VALGU socks favorably impacts the feet by: maintaining the feet in their anatomically correct position; strengthening foot muscles and ligaments; improving blood circulation and tissue nourishment in the soles; reducing pain; and not hindering everyday activities (walking, running, exercise). They're recommended for any stage of the condition, but are most effective in the early stages when deformation is minimal. They are most effective when worn with wider or house shoes; barefoot use at home is also possible. Not for sleep use. Correct physiological positioning improves blood circulation, preventing pressure on soft tissues and nerve endings by the deformed joint and bone structures.
In some cases, wearing the socks should be temporarily avoided: skin lesions in the affected area, especially if inflamed; individual intolerance to materials; dermatoses of any etiology; papillomas, warts, or protruding moles. Individuals with diabetes or rheumatoid diseases should consult a doctor before use.
Machine washable at 30°C with delicate detergent; do not use bleach or fabric softener to avoid damaging the elastic fibers; do not machine dry; iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C.
Start with 2 hours of daily use, gradually increasing the duration. Regular use is key. Each person needs their own pair. We recommend purchasing several pairs for easy rotation during washing.
30 days from the date of purchase (for preservation of mechanical properties). No expiration date.
