09/18/2019I got these to start class again. I used to wear the Bunheads gel toe cap and always tape down my bunion and this one kinda does both with the gel! I will say it’s very thick, like I basically had to take out all my other padding besides a super super thin toe pad to fit this because my shoes were already like very fit to my foot. remember to cut your toenails too, the gel tore after the first use!!! there’s already a little hole at the top! so annoying. so after the first use I started wearing them with the fabric side touching my skin. besides that, it does cushion the bunion area which I was needing so it does the job. and it’s long like it wont move around in the shoe or anything.

01/06/2019I purchased these when I was getting a lot of pain in my left big toe in my Gaynor Minden pointe shoes. I also think my left toes compress a bit more than my right toes, so this pad provides just enough padding for my big toe and fills in some space without being too bulky - it's all the padding I need in those shoes. The pad has lasted about six months before the gel has started breaking down (I dance on pointe about once a week). And the color you get is a fun surprise! FYI I did need to trim the pad down quite a bit before using it.

Oak Harbor,WAThese fit great over the big toe and side of foot for great protection. They last a long time, I do put a bit of baby powder on them and also can be hand washed. It is fun because they come in different colors. This is one of my favorite products DD carries.

12/25/2014My mom go these for me. I have the worst feet possible for pointe but I love it so much that I do it anyways. I have the ouch pouches (which do absolutely nothing for me!!!) I got these and they are perfect!!!! I just put these on under my ouch pouches! AND I CAN STILL FEEL THE FLOOR THROUGH THESE!!! (Which is important to me)!! Absolutely PERFECT toe pads!!!

05/22/2014I bought this product for my daughter who dances 5 days a week and was experiencing pressure and discomfort on her big toe. She loved this product from the first time she used it and now only needs the bunion pad and lamb's wool in her pointe shoes. Wonderful!

08/27/2013I ordered these for both of my daughters, who have a demanding dance schedule. Traditionally, they have needed to use a LOT of toe tape in order to make it through pointe class. This week, however, they came home raving about this product! Bottom line: it offers more comfort and coverage than toe tape. Highly recommended! We can't speak to durability because this is week number one. But I definitely will order again because of the comfort added for both of my daughters.

06/03/2013These bunion pads are fine and serve our purpose, but just a note that there are 2 per package. We ordered 2 packages thinking they were packaged individually, so now we have 4. No big deal, because I guess we'll use them, but of course we paid more shipping for something we didn't need right now!
The description should be changed from "pad" to "pads" and it should be noted that 2 are included. thank you!

12/28/2012This is the best toe savers!! They are super comfortable. When you step on them is like your in heaven. Through out many years of pointe work, these are the best! I really recommmend them if your big toe is your biggest issue when dancing on pointe. They saved my life. I would definally buy another one.

10/27/2012these are really a must have if you have bunions they last a very long time the only reason i get new ones is not because they wear down or rip its only because they get stinky and yellowish after about a year of use. i wouldn't be able to handle the pain of hours of pointe without these. i use them with super spaces and a ouch pouch and its perfect for my bunions. i really recommend these

10/19/2012I have bunions and bunionettes, and I have previously used Bunheads' Bunion Buster and Jelly Tube; I hated that they cut off my circulation and gave no cushion to my nails and the tips of my toes. But DanzTech's ToeJamz and Cocoons are absolutely perfect. They are everything I am looking for. These two and Bunheads spacers are all the padding I need now. They do get sticky very easily though, so be sure to apply baby powder after every use.

04/07/2012I have bunions on both of my feet, so pointe work is especially painful without the right equipment. These toe covers with the extended part for my bunions are the perfect relief for my feet in my shoes. The gel cover keeps away painful friction in the shoe while at the same time keeps my big toes protected and comforted. The only drawbacks to these are that if you don't follow the care instructions on the package the gel side can get sticky from sweating, and my big toe nail has cut a crease into the gel on the inside. Other than those two things, I would say that these are the perfect pointe accessory for someone with bunions, and are worth every penny.

03/27/2012I love these. I wear them along with my toe pads. They are very comfortable and perfect if you suffer from a lot of pain in the big toe and nail bruising. It also protects the bunion area. Plus you can trim it for a custom fit. These are a must have for me en pointe.
