Brilliant bit of kit
These things are magic! Before I was taping my soles of my feet up to help prevent the heel pain brought on by plantar fasciitis, but what a drag that was, because once taped up I didn't want to take the tape off again for about 5 days, otherwise I would have had to retape, so I was stuck with it day and night. Now whenever I'm doing activity I pop these babies under my socks and I'm off like a shot, but more importantly after the post activity rest I'm still off like a shot, because the support bandage does a damned good job at alleviating the heel pain. I doesn't eliminate the pain completely, but it makes it totally manageable and enables me to get on with walking hiking and jogging without worrying about the heel pain later. Top job!

BRILLIANT. A must buy for Plantar foot pain sufferers
Heel/foot pain for about 4 months, stretching &execises not helping. Worn the socks for 2 days so far & heel pain hadn't gone but is considerably better. Able to walk rather than hobble 1st thing in the morning without dreading gettng out of bed & putting my feet on the floor. Worried they would be tight & mark my foot but they are comfy, lightweight & am able to wear ordinary socks over them. Hopefully pain will totally subside over next few weeks. Would recommend this product, money well spent as I am taking far less pain relief.Update: After 1week I am painfree & off painkillers. Grateful is an understatement. Thank you for a brilliant product

Soft, comfortable, wear all day/night and helps the pain
Excellent feel , I was worried it will be uncomfortable or too tight/scratchy . Quite the opposite ! Very high quality , can use it on bare feet around the house, or with any type of shoe. I am happy to say the immediately after one hour wearing them my pain is gone ! Also I like the fact that they attached an ‘exercise sheet’ same as recommended by NHS , but I completely forgot how to do . Now I also have a reference to fix my feet !!

Tried and Tested
Lots of varying reviews on this product. I've had these socks for 5 weeks now.I suffer immensely with Plantar Fasciitis and early onset arthritis. I purchased the S/M (my shoe size 4½-5 UK).The socks arrive with a booklet of instructions and exercises (see pictures).They are tight to put on but not uncomfortable. DO NOT WEAR OVERNIGHT, the booklet does not recommend this, I tried it anyway and the socks got tighter and tighter and painful, at 3am I had to rip them off my feet and they were more swollen than they should be.I wear these socks every morning (get out of bed and put them on) and stretch for 15 mins, I have found the pain throughout the day is greatly reduced and some days non-existent. I've tried wearing the socks whilst doing intense cardio (running, stepper, circuits), not great as they get tighter the more you sweat and your feet swell and become painful, so would not recommend for that activity.I hand wash in cold water as suggested. The socks feel looser and not as tight over the weeks but I still find they are helping.Overall: Not a cure but a great help for easing the agony of foot pain throughout the day for me (experiences may vary for everyone).

Pain is Personal !
I have been using these socks since November 2017. I only use one on the affected foot.They do the job as described but as in all things relating to one’s health it is subjective. I find some days they really help yet on others I have to remove the sock after a number of hours because it is hurting due to lack of circulation in the foot. That is not the fault of the sock, just the condition my foot is in.I thought the information supplied with the socks was very good even though I had researched the condition and was aware of the exercises that may help – they don’t, for me !It is worth spending the money to see if the socks can help. Even if they don’t it is worth trying.My GP said that if I could lie in bed for 3 months then the plantar fasciitis would go away and since that was not realistic, expect it to take up to 3 years to heal – I am now in my 3rd year !Enjoy ….

These have been a lifechanger!
I am a runner and have suffered from plantar fasciitis for 18 months, tried various therapies (shock wave, steroid...), stretching, icing, rollering, orthotics, no running (!!) and done all that was possible to improve matters. The PF has been getting better gradually, and got to the stage where it was more of a discomfort than pain, and that's when I decided to try these. They are tight-ish, feel the same as strapping, and you wear the sock on the affected foot with your running sock over the top. I wear one, run in it then wash it in cold water and leave it to dry and as there are two in the pack I then use the other one the next time. As there are no toes, these are great to wear if you are in sandals or flip flops too as I wear them when I'm not running too. The result for me has been amazing - pain free running, and now even more than that, totally discomfort free as well enabling me to get back to training and enjoying it. The PF hasn't yet gone completely (sometimes reminds me its there during the day, but never when I'm running) but it has improved no end and I've got my life back! Should mention that I take out the sock liners in my running shoes (both shoes) and have replaced with Orthaheel orthotics, the full length sports ones with arch support. Combination of arch support, gel heel cup and then these socks has worked wonders.

This is a specific product. Do your research.
This product is fine for those who are fit and healthy, who are mobile and active.They are supportive items to help with foot/heel pain and circulation.BUT, these are NOT for folks with Odema (whatever the cause) and lower limb circulation issues.Do not buy if you are diabetic or have other conditions which cause Odema in ankles and feet.I made this mistake.As I also have foot/heel pain too.Product is fine, just not for those with lower leg/foot swelling issues.Regardless of foot size.
