gr8ful® Plantar Fasciitis Night Sock Brace | Dorsal Splint Compression Socks for Achilles Tendonitis & Plantar Fasciitis Treatment | Provides a gentle stretch overnight | Lightweight | Black (l/xl)

I've had plantar fasciitis for well over two years. Tried all sorts. Got some decent boots for work and that really helped. But as they have bedded in, the relief from the plantar fasciitis is lessening. Tried these for two nights in a row, and when I get up in the morning I'm not hobbling. Good signs! I would say take the time to set them up right, no wrinkles particularly around the back of the knee, and it should be comfortable all night. I'm finding that as I have small feet and I'm short that the small sock is a little long for me. I fold the excess carefully, flat is important, as close to the top of the calf muscle as possible. Sizing could be improved for people at either end of the scale. The whole reason I've got this condition in the first place is that sizing of footwear for women in the work place is shockingly bad. Size 4 chainsaw boots? Jog on. So I've made do with badly fitting footwear for years and now paying the price. But these really do work, so that's great. Thanks very much guys!

One starI have a size 8 and bought the small size.It fits, slightly tight be manageable.However, why a one star review:- the qualify of the sock is very bad.I have used it twice and the fabric which pulls your foot up tore from the main sock.- it is rather uncomfortable around the toes when you pull your foot up.- it is very unpleasant at the end of the sock, just underneath the knee.- the straps and Velcro are very long and therefor let loose in your sleep and therefore defeats the purpose of the sock in the first place.

I tried this sock several times but it's so tight you can sleep without having to wake up and take it off. Tried different things but none worked. Save your money

Much discussion with professionals who know planter fasciitis didn’t really bring much approval for this sock, but I wanted to try it anyway. It works by forcing the front edge of your foot upwards - you control the degree of force by the Velcro adjustment - when worn overnight. First night I tightened the adjuster too much, and suffered a painful foot in the morning, but the more I’ve used the sock the better it seems to be. Presumably, the tendons in the foot tighten up overnight and the sock inhibits that action. So far, I’m only a few days into testing, and the recommended minimum trial period is two weeks, so it’s too early to make a recommendation yet, but I’m quietly confident this dick will help ease a painful condition.

I have used this for 2 nights and it has improved the pain i was feeling. Unfortunately the ring at the top has completely fallen off with the fabric it was attached to is hanging on by a thread and the bottom part of the toe stretchy piece is also in the same sorry state. for fortunately even though I detest sewing I can just about repair it but its not the point is it? the product should be robust enough for it to be used as intended for more than 2 nights.

Summary: High quality, works as intended - I recommend for any plantar fasciitis sufferers.I have had on and off PF for about 2 and a half years despite doing regular physio recommended stretching exercises every day/wearing insoles etc. Initially I developed this when running regularly, but whenever I have tried to return to running the PF flared up again so I had to stop on multiple attempts to return to regular running. Since getting the night sock, I have resumed running regularly again and after 2 months have had only very mild PF flare ups so am very very happy! The sock has definitely helped me.Side note, make sure to fasten it below the knee - I made this mistake when first using it and it was much more uncomfortable this way.

Maybe if you get the right size they may work but there was no tension to keep the foot up sodidn’t work for me. I’m a size 8 and have wide feet so ordered the larger size. I also don’t think it needs to be as tight round the calf as it’s like wearing a support stocking and as others have mentioned, the fabric is not very nice and very coarse. I’m sorry but based on my experience I wouldn’t recommend.

This product is a real mixed bag.First the good. I suffer from really bad Achilles tendonitis, and the days after I've played sport I'm literally hobbling for the first hour when I get out of the bed in the morning. This product, in two days has taken the pain away. So it definitely does the job.The Bad. It's really uncomfortable to wear. My second toe has a small friction blister on the end of it. It wakes me up in the middle of the night, your toes just get bent over too much. Why do the straps on these things not run around the ball of the foot leaving your toes free to wiggle. I just don't get it, such a simple design solution but nobody seems to do it.The Ugly. It's cheap. Like really, really cheap. The sock is made from the scratchiest, cheapest of nylon, I have a rash already under my knee after two nights. Why not use football sock material? Still very strong, but comfortable.Summary. As actual boots only cost about £16 these days, I'll probably buy one of those as I now have a potential fix for my ongoing problem. It DOES work for achilles tendonitis, but at a cost and on balance I probably wouldn't recommend unless you're on a really low budget.Edit to this. I put an old stiff insole inside the sock which protects my toes whilst wearing. Does the trick perfectly.
