Classification and Application Scenarios of Hallux Valgus Correctors

1、Day‑time Dynamic Model (Silicone Toe Separator / Soft Sleeve)
Made of medical‑grade silicone. Slim and lightweight, can be worn inside shoes. Suitable for daytime commuting and walking. Function: isolates toe friction and disperses forefoot pressure. It delivers weak corrective force and focuses mainly on protection.
2、Night‑time Static Splint (Rigid Splint with Straps)
Constructed of plastic or adjustable metal brackets. Worn during sleep with stronger corrective traction. It provides continuous traction when foot muscles are relaxed at night, serving as the primary option for mild deformity. Drawbacks: cannot be worn with shoes and may cause foreign‑body sensation when turning over in bed.
3、Combined Model (with Arch Support)
Corrects hallux valgus and flat feet simultaneously. Suitable for users with hallux valgus caused by flat feet, to improve overall plantar force distribution.
