First of all I was not expecting much. I read the reviews and it seemed like these socks would either work or not do anything. I ordered them thinking it was worth a shot. I had previously tried over the counter inserts, Dr. prescribed and formed inserts, expensive supportive shoes, ice, exercises, etc. Nothing seemed to help my foot pain. I finally tried one of the over the counter braces that hold your foot in position at night but it was hard to sleep with it on and if I got the straps too tight, I would wake up in pain where the strap was putting too much pressure on my foot. I did however notice improvement and much less pain when I wore the brace and if I didn't wear it, the pain in my heel returned in the morning. So with this in mind I thought the socks were worth a try.
The socks arrived and I immediately put them on. First impression was that they were not tight enough to do much good (I ordered a size large and wear a size 10 shoe) but I figured I would give it a bit and see what happened. Well much to my amazement, in about 20 minutes I realized my feet felt better! These socks were really a surprise. I wore them for 5 or 6 hours after they arrived, then I went to bed with them on and woke up with no foot pain in the morning. I have been wearing them ever since. Even though they don't feel overly tight, they do feel snug and I guess they compress my foot at the instep enough to keep the tendon stretched and not make my foot or heel hurt. They don't seem to stop circulation in my foot and they do stay on and don't slip around on my foot.
Now don't get me wrong, I still have some pain if I stay on my feet all day. But these socks do ease the pain. Before I started using a brace at night, I could barely walk in the morning my heel and instep hurt so much. But with the brace being used the last 3 weeks and now just wearing the socks, the pain is pretty much gone or not really noticeable when I first get up. I haven't worn the brace for three nights now (I do wear the socks) and my feet feel good in the morning. I did try leaving the socks off for a few hours yesterday and maybe it is psychological but my feet did feel a bit sore after a few hours of not wearing them.
The socks seem well made and after three days of use are not showing any signs of loose stitching or poor quality. I have not washed them yet and I guess I will see how things are doing in a month. But for now I am very pleasantly surprised at how well they work and how much better my foot feels with them on. I plan to buy a few more pairs and hopefully they will continue to make a difference.

I severely sprained my foot after repeated overuse jogging in bad running shoes. For the 1st month I could barely walk & I wore an OTC foot/ankle Velcro brace, full knee sock compression stockings, iced my foot & ankle 6 times a day & kept my foot elevated when I was sitting or sleeping. After a month of seeing a medical massage therapist weekly, I experienced great relief & moved into getting in my pool every morning to exercise & found I didn’t need the brace any longer & I just needed to ice my foot 2 times a day, but I still needed something to stabilize & “hold” my foot for stability & circulation. I found these compression ankle socks with open toes. I thought I’d try them in hopes that they wouldn’t be as hot as the knee sock style since the toes were open & it just went above my ankle & hoping it would cover just the main area of my pain and instability. To my surprise, they are perfect!! I love them. They arrived around 8 pm, so I put them on and decided to sleep with them on. Big mistake, because you truly need to “adjust into” them. I had them on for 2 hours, then fell asleep for 4 hours & woke up with aches almost like Charlie horse cramps in my calves. I immediately took them off & went back to sleep. Put them on after my morning exercise in the morning & was conscious about taking them off after 4 hours. Then I started wearing them the 2nd full day for 6 hours, after about 5 days I started wearing them for 8 hours & I can wear them over my normal sock with tennis shoes for good stability as I slowly walk again & work on keeping my muscles from experiencing atrophy. So grateful for this product. Loved them so much I bought my husband a pair. He injured his foot several years ago, and he’s on his feet most of his day in steel toed shoes for when he is in the production areas of his company & he really appreciates how thin they are but how well they compress his feet & allow him some relief. Happy customers. We will purchase more.
