SB SOXSB SOX Plantar Fasciitis Relief Socks - Night Splint & Foot Brace for Achilles Tendonitis, Heel Pain, and Arch Support – Foot Compression Sleeve for Recovery, Foot Swelling, and Fatigue (Green, Medium)

I've been dealing with achilles tendinitis and plantar faciitis off and on in both feet for over a year. Only recently have I begun wearing compression socks like these. The other pairs I have are very tight across the front of my ankles but offer great support. These are so much more flexible and soft! I can flex my foot and not have the sock cut into the front of my ankles. It's possible that I should have gone down a size - I got large - for a bit more compression. But, honestly, these are comfortable enough to sleep in without that tightness around my ankles. These may wind up being my relaxing around in socks while I wear the more uncomfortable ones during the day when I really need the compression. For now, I'll say if you're in between sizes, go down a size for better compression and support. The binding at the top and bottom of the sock is very smooth and stretchy. It doesn't cut off circulation at all. Definitely a solid purchase to hold me over until I can get an audience with the orthopedist

I ordered this because I was beset by heel pain due to 2 spurs, 1 under heel toward the back, 1 at Achilles tendon fascia. Looking for relief, foot got so sore couldn't put hardly any weight or walk on it. Did all I know to do: declafan gel, oral ibuprofen, icing-lots like 4-6x day, as much rest as possible. I got gel heel inserts and extra gel heel cups on top of those. The icing help was temporary but steadily reduced inflammation; the gel heel inserts were the big deal, soft spongy contact point pushed on spurs less.I also thought these socks might help some per the advert description. I like the sox; I'm keeping them. They seem to help to some degree; the heels are not padded but the overall sock helps restrain the foot a some and give the arch extra support, my irritation had migrated some into the middle foot fascia, really sore. I use these compression "sleeves" under regular sox with a padded heel; they are thin, tight and very stretchy with effort.All of it helps some. These sleeves are part of the picture. After 6-7 weeks of pain, my new protocols are working after one week with the new gel inserts and a better pair of shoes which are designed for "Pro-Walk(ing)," which were sitting in the closet. Noticeable better after the past week so I'm encouraged. I had the spurs before the injury but the plantar fascia were not yet irritated. These socks are part of the recovery process. Bot 2 pair for use later after this injury heals. I didn't see them on Amazon, but think they offer a full length sock which would make great compression sox if indicated, which it's not for me.The review is lengthy because I know how painful and important relief is to foot sufferers. All the best.The Sox help.

These have super compression so you may not want to wear them longer than 6 hours because then they will start to pinch. I could not wear my usual size without cutting off circulation but one size up did the trick.

I read many reviews before buying/ receiving my 1st pair 2 weeks ago (Sept. 15, 2020). Since then I’ve bought 5 more pairs. I would love to get more, but they’re so pricey.I’ve worked retail for over 15 years. Logged many hours in high heels and used to pound the pavement (road runner vs treadmills etc.). Needless to say, I’ve had terrible plantar fasciitis and general foot pain for years.I searched on my own and got fitted for quality supportive shoes (Brooks running shoes and Dansko for daily use, and Mephisto for nicer looking options). When it was really bad, I would literally crawl on my hands and knees to get around the house. And yes. Despite my high pain tolerance, eyes would water due to the pain. This while popping 800mg+ a day of ibuprofen, icing, and little massage balls for the feet. The podiatrist I saw said I was basically SOL (s*** out of luck), and only offered the band-aid of cortisone injections.Tried the orig. Strassburg Sock, knock-off version of the Strassburg sock, smaller night splints, and giant robot leg boot splints. The giant boot splints worked the best. But for someone who runs hot, side sleeper, and lives in hot Southern California, it really isn’t ideal to wear the big bulky boot splints overnight.And the boot splints don’t help the other 16+ hours I’m awake and about.For the first time in over a decade, I can go through a day without terrible plantar fasciitis pain. Because of these socks. I love these. I wear one pair all day long, and wear a fresh pair overnight.I measured my arch (and included a photo of that). I wear women’s size 9 running shoes (but 7.5 in sandals/heels) because my feet while long, are somewhat narrow (width from side to side) and have a shallow/low profile (from top of the foot down to the sole). That’s why I appreciate that this manufacturer makes different sized socks and included arch measurements in addition to shoe sizing for size reference. I ordered these socks in a medium. They’re comfortably snug. Like the best hug. But for your foot.Cons: price. I obviously saw other sellers here on amazon selling similar socks. I tried one. BLITZU. It is uncomfortably tight at both ends of the socks, yet not supportive through the arch. And despite being so tight, still managed to move and curl at the ends when worn with sandals or sneakers. These SB SOX are way better. They also feel sturdier. I worry I will tear the other brand when trying to put on and take off. But these cost so much more. And every day, the price of these SB SOX goes up. Very disappointing. Also, I included a photo to try to show, but one of these socks is now stained. It’s hard to see in the photo, but pretty obvious in person. I realize stained coloring doesn’t impair the efficacy, but it’s not cheap and I don’t think it should be so easily stained. I’m also concerned that these might stretch out/loosen over time and lose efficacy due to that. I’m hoping that doesn’t occur (or at least not for many many months).I’d like to also add, in the last two weeks, I’ve gone from doing about 6 miles a week on the elliptical, to doing 28-32 miles a week. And despite the dramatic uptick in activity, with the help of these socks, experiencing minimal foot pain.Don’t get me wrong— they haven’t magically stopped all pain. But for the first time in a decade, I feel like I can casually decide to go to a grocery store without planning my day around it to avoid hobbling and limping through the aisles.SB Sox — please feel free to send me any free socks. ;) Please also consider offering a bulk purchase discount or bundle. 15% off 3 pairs or more isn’t helpful especially when the price has gone up every two days. (Note: I have personally purchased all of my SB SOX.)

I started to develop plantar fasciitis the last couple of months from not wearing proper footwear while walking my dog. The pain was getting so bad that it hurt to walk around my house. I knew I needed additional support so after reading a few reviews, I bought this brand and another. So far, I like these. My ankle and arch feel supported with the right amount of compression. Unlike other reviews, I didn’t find the band at my toes to be too tight. I haven’t tried sleeping in them overnight but I have used them to walk the dog.Overall, happy with my purchase. Time will tell if it supports my condition long term.

Live my sb sox! I wear them around the house and as my first layer, regular socks then my shoes. I just wish the leg part was just a little longer.

It's too soon to determine the pain relief factor, but the socks fit great, and the company was very responsive to my questions via email.

I really like this product , much better than other socks that I have tried , they are not as tight as other ones , so far they appear to be helping my plantar facitis . so I would thoroughly recommend them , so far so good

I had just been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and have had excruciating pain for about a month now, the pain in the morning is just unbearable. Unfortunately because of other health conditions I can't take anti inflammatories and was prescribed a gel...which had little effect. I saw these last night, and to be honest I was pretty sceptical, how's a sock going to make it any better? But I ordered them and they arrived about an hour ago. Well what can i say? I am utterly gobsmacked! The relief has been instant, after so long with such intense pain these are the best money I have spent in ages! Can't recommend highly enough!

Have to admit, I don't often post reviews. I buy so much stuff online I'd spend all my free time writing reviews. And what does it matter if it's online or not? You don't write a review when you go to Tescos.So for me to bother, it must be worth it.I've had planar fasciitis for twenty years. Had x-Rays and stuff, the only thing that really has any effect is compression strapping. But it has to be right. Thick elasticated ankle braces work, but they are bulky and sweaty. Polypropylene doesn't work. Most thin socks don't work. They don't have the right level of compression. So you buy smaller, and then they're too tight.But these do. Maybe not dramatically, but they're thin and comfortable enough to wear all day, and after a few days, the effect is noticeable. Worth persevering with. And if you feel you sometimes need more support, stick them over your socks instead of under!Certainly the best I've tried, and a great price too. I'll be getting more.

Excellent item

These socks helped so much with my plantar facilitus. It has great support for my ankles and relieves a lot of pain. I wear it every day at work at a warehouse with hard concrete floors. Life saver honestly.
