SB SOX Plantar Fasciitis Relief Socks – Ankle Brace Compression Sleeve – Arch Support for Foot Pain, Swelling, Heel Spurs – Foot Brace for Achilles Tendonitis Relief, Injury Recovery (Gray, Medium)

I wanted to write this review because I do t see anyone talking about their effectiveness for sciatica and neuropathy. I had a bout of severe sciatica which was followed by a two month period of neuropathy in the top of my foot (all the way up to my big toe) where I felt pins and needles and sensitivity. These socks are very helpful for me in lessening the severity of that neuropathy. I’m a year out from the major injury and have recovered, but I still get sciatic flare ups and these socks are comfortable to wear at home or while I’m sleeping. They help to constrain the nerve signals in my feet and the whole leg is better up to my lower back. Not a magic bullet but very helpful. I also like the bright colors and I wear the sock in my Birkenstocks when I’m out and about casually like at the grocery store. I like them so much I got a second pair so I have teal and purple. Last thing! They wash easily in the washing machine and I just air dry them.

I have good shoes, but walking the concrete warehouse floor and jumping in and out of trucks made my high arches just hurt after every shift. These SOX fit great, have nice compression, but not too tight and my feet have quit hurting! They wash well and I like that they are bright enough to stand out in the wash for easy locating before the next shift. No problems wearing socks under or over them. They're just comfortable and effective.

I started wearing these socks after my heels began hurting from walking all day. A friend recommended them, and I’m glad I gave them a try! I don’t wear them every day—usually just on the days when my feet are feeling sore. I’ve also slept with them on a few times. While I sometimes wake up to take them off, they don’t actually wake me up or make me uncomfortable. I usually hate sleeping in socks, but these are lightweight and breathable, which is great since I’m a hot sleeper. I really do believe these socks help with my plantar fasciitis pain. I wear a size 9 shoe and got the Medium size. They’re snug, but that’s how they’re designed—to provide the right amount of support. Overall, a great option if you need some extra relief without sacrificing comfort!

Good stuff big help with foot pain and athletic Workouts

I ordered these after seeing them recommended in an article from Runners World. I don't run anymore but I used to, and my part-time job requires me to be on my feet for several hours. I have always had a heavy heel strike and that flaw in my mechanics is catching up with me now that I'm in my mid-40's, such that now I've developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot. It's really painful, so I've formed a multi-faceted approach to fixing it including stretching, shoe inserts, rolling out muscles and fascia higher up the kinetic chain, ice, massage, lidocaine patches, anti-inflammatory medicine, and (finally) these compression socks. I get that these are supposed to be snug, however I ordered the size I should have according to the size chart and they make my toes go numb/cold and cause pain in my little toe. Maybe my feet are too wide? I received a black pair I ordered first, and I may just cut a notch on that side of the sock to see if that helps, bc they fit well around my heel, which is where all of the pain is. At any rate, I don't want a second pair of socks that don't work like they should right out of the box so I'm returning the pink ones I ordered. I give them 3 stars bc they're cute, as compression socks go, and despite the pain and numbness in my toes, they DO seem to help alleviate some of my heel pain. I just can't trade heel pain for toe pain, ya know? If you don't have wide feet, give them a whirl.

Reviews for: - Samarai Insoles: FIVE STARS - WalkHero Insoles: FIVE STARS - ValSole Insoles: FIVE STARS - SB Sox PF Relief Socks: FIVE STARS - Koprez PF Sleeve: FOUR STARS - Vibit (purchased directly instead of thru Amazon): THREE STARS - Tisscare foot massager with heat (purchased earlier somewhere else): FIVE STARS My experience with Plantar Fasciitis (PF): I’m 64, female, retired for one year, and lead an active lifestyle. My normal routine includes a 4-5 mile walk every morning, pickleball 5x per week, and golf when I can. PF symptoms showed up suddenly about two months ago – suddenly it hurt too much to walk very far and pickleball was excruciating. It affected both feet, but the pain in my right foot was significantly worse. In spite of all the products that promise fast relief, I learned that managing PF is a multi-step process. Here's what worked for me – in order of implementation: - I threw away five pairs of worn-out running shoes and started wearing my newest pair all the time. - I quit going barefoot and now wear shoes all the time, even inside the house. - I quite wearing dress shoes or sandals (easy for me since I’m retired). - I started stretching my heels/calves multiple times per day, with and without a step. - I rolled my foot over a frozen water bottle or a small hard plastic ball with spikes on it. The plastic ball seems to work better, and soon I was using it several times per day. - I bought three different pairs of PF insoles so I could use them all the time. I couldn’t really tell any difference between the three brands I tried, but I think the ones with deep heel cups (WalkHero and ValSole) are better, and those are the two I use most of the time. - I bought SB Sox and now wear them on both feet during all waking hours. - I tried the Koprez Sleeve, but found that it was uncomfortable to wear all the time. I tried wearing it on a walk, but it actually became more painful after about ¼ mile. I tried wearing it for pickleball, and it was wonderful. The Koprez Sleeve allows me to keep playing pickleball. - I tried foam rolling my calves. I think it helped, but it was really hard on my arms. So I quit. - I bought the Vibit, hoping that I could use it on my calves as well as my feet. It vibrated as advertised, but it was actually harder to use than a foam roller and it didn’t seem more effective. It felt good on my feet but I couldn’t tell if it helped or not. Following the directions requires 15 minutes per foot dedicated to using the massager (no multi-tasking is possible). I still use it occasionally if I want a few extra minutes without sitting down with the Tisscare, but I don’t think this purchase helped with the PF. I have also used the Vibit for other things (IT band, back, arms), and it offers a nice massage. - I started using a Tisscare foot massager with heat that we already owned. It seemed to help a lot, and it was easy to use as I could just sit there and let the massager do the work on both feet at the same time while I read or used my phone. I’m still using it 2-3x per day for 20 minutes. Very much worth the money and I will buy it again if it quits working. Results: - It took about four weeks to research, purchase, and start using all the products listed above. During that first four weeks, I quit my morning walks and cut back on pickleball (I could not play two days in a row). Pain was intense, especially after pickleball or at the end of the day. - Within a couple weeks, the morning pain was better, mostly because I stretched and rolled 2-3 times during the night (I wake up anyway). - After putting everything into place (about four weeks), the morning pain was pretty much gone and I started walking two miles in the morning. I still had pain if I played pickleball – and the pain continued for the rest of the day. - After six weeks, I was able to increase the morning walks to my normal 4-5 miles most days and experienced only minimal pain with pickleball. - It’s been about eight weeks, and I’m still continuing to work on it. Pain is minimal and I’m able to walk 5+ miles and play pickleball!
