The metatarsal band is made of soft cotton cloth cushioning with a foam interior. This splint includes one large toe strap and three smaller individual straps. You can use the smaller toe straps to correct hammer or claw toes that you may have or take them off and only use the large toe strap for the bunion.
Put the metatarsal band on first so that it goes across your foot. Then put the large toe strap over the toe and tighten the Velcro strip and attach the other side to the outer aspect of the metatarsal band. Finally place the ankle strap around the foot and attach it the large toe splint. Make sure you adjust the Velcro straps until you feel comfortable. Setting up the splint is slightly awkward the first few times but after 1 or 2 days it becomes easy to set up and use. It is important that you begin to use the product for only 45 minutes to 1 hour initially and then as you feel more comfortable with the feel of the splint, you can use it all day.
