TechWare Pro Plantar Fasciitis Socks - Ankle Compression Socks for Women & Men. Achilles Tendonitis Brace & Foot Arch Support

I previously dealt with arthritis and swelling in my feet from being on them all day. When my hands were hurting, these socks were definitely hard to put on—but the comfort and support made them worth it. They’ve held up extremely well over time—no shrinking, very durable, and still comfortable after more than a year of regular use. I still wear them daily since I’m on my feet so much, and I just ordered more so I have a pair for every day of the week. Great quality, great support, and long-lasting comfort. Highly recommend.

I LOVE these compression socks! I broke both feet a few months ago, had surgery and am now in recovery mode. These socks are perfect to help reduce swelling in my feet and provide great ankle support - especially after being in immobilizing boots for so long. Quality is great and I love that they are designed to fit each foot, rather than the same sock design for both feet (like regular sock pairs).

The quality of these socks is pretty impressive. They feel so good on and give your feet a nice compression. Instant foot pain relief! I've had other compression socks and the material they are often made from wears out easily and starts breaking apart. I can tell these are not going to do that. The fibers are very fine and the seams are well pit together. The one thing that I didn't like about these socks is how tight they are on my ankles. Now this is probably a problem with the fluid retention in my ankles more than the socks themselves but they really cut in to my calves uncomfortably because of how high they are. I've embarrassingly included a photo. My husband doesn't get any fluid mention in his legs though and he find the height of the socks to not be a problem at all.

I have a lot of problems with my ankle tendons - all of them. Braces get uncomfortable and don't fit in shoes well, arch sleeves end up leaving blisters on the front on my ankle, KT tape helps a lot but over the course of a work week I'm still in a lot of pain by day four and then there's the matter of the adhesive itself. Even adhesive that my skin is okay with will still get irritating after a period of time. I got a pair of these (small, black/blue) to wear on the fifth day, when pain is at its height and it's generally a busier day as well. Using these in conjunction with MyTape KT tape (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRYKN05/ref=twister_B072XC5QVC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) helped more than I expected. For obviously reasons socks are not going to have the same support as a brace with hard inserts or one made for athletes, but even those only help so much and I find them very uncomfortable to boot. I found the combination quite helpful, the socks are very comfortable with nice seams that don't bother me (I'm sensitive about those things). I'm on the smaller end of adult shoe sizes, so no pair of socks fits perfectly, I always end up with the heel somewhere on the back of my ankle, and my only other option is to have material bunched under my foot to have the heel in the correct place. That is also mostly true of these, but I can get it closer to correct because it's tightly woven and I don't have the bunching problem. I have found that I need to keep my toenails both short and smooth, because any snags catch easily when putting them on. It also helps to put them on the same way you put on pantyhose or stockings. On washing, I have been putting them in a lingerie bag to wash with the rest of my socks (best way to not lose socks) then hanging them up to dry. If they hold up well over time I will get a few more pairs, not just for work but also for around the house or sleeping. I find in my case they help much more with the ankle tendinitis than my plantar fasciitis even with taping for that. UPDATE 7/13/21 - Changing from 4 star to 5 star; have proven quite durable. I have bought enough pairs to have a pair for each workday, and as a cashier I spent a lot of the pandemic year busier on my feet than ever. Every pair I own is at least a year old, with the oldest pair being a little over two years old. I hand wash them, as recommended, then hang or lay flat to dry, then put them in a UV sanitizer. Yes, I have had some of the elastic threads snapping, especially in the oldest two pairs, but there are so many that they have not lost their support ability. I can tell the slightest difference in pressure from the oldest to youngest pairs, but I think most people would not (I'm really sensitive to these things). The only problem I have with them is being hair magnets, and it takes some work to get all that out when I wear them on carpet (my kid and cat shed at alarming rates). I do wish they were a bit more "seamless" as that bothers me at times as well, but on the whole I really can't complain. They're still doing their job so that I can continue to do mine. Update 2/1/22: The toe seam on my first pair gave out last week. So I got a year and half of wearing and washing once a week out of them. Not bad in terms of lifespan. I see there's a cushioned version now, so I'm going to try a pair of those as a replacement. My most recent pair, the grey/black ones - I don't know if changes were made or if it's specific to this color blend, but they're not the lint/hair/fur magnets that my older pairs are. Update 2/17/24: The second pair I bought (black/pink) has gotten threadbare on the heel. I have 7 pairs and am still handwashing them. The pink/white ones and beige ones are also not fur magnets. The new blue/black ones I got are not as much fur magnets as the pair they replaced but not as resistant to fur as the grey ones. They are easier to get on than the first pair was, made a little bigger overall, but retain the same support. I like this improvement.

So, I have a long history with compression wear. I wear compression socks during work pretty often as I am often sitting at a desk doing admin tasks for the majority of the day. I wear them whenever I fly or go on road trips. I have low grade edema, heel spurs, and arthritis in my feet & ankles so compression socks have been a part of my life for the past decade even though I am in my early 30s. Recently, I started a new job with a lot more activity! And while those long, geriatric leaning socks have served me well and definitely have a time & place for their usage, I wanted something that made motion a bit easier than the traditional stocking/knee high style. These are great! I now own 2 pairs of them and plan on buying a couple of more pairs. They fit just above my ankles, are very easy to put on, and do not hurt where the seams join. I find they really assist with pain management now that I am on my feet a lot more and also help with swelling in my feet and ankles. I like that I can also wear them with my workout clothes without them being obviously recognizable as compression socks. They wash well in the washer and I've been able to dry them on low heat with no issues. For anyone looking for a shorter length compression sock, I highly recommend these.

Pros: great ankle compression Cons: arch and heel support is lacking, sweaty/hot feet My specs: I have a wide foot and usually wear 7W or 7.5 regular (US). I bought the medium and did not find it too tight. I do wish it had more support in Heel/arch as I have plantar fasciitis and needed it for that. These sock did not really do anything to help. I wore them for my usual walking (3.5 miles) and core training. My feet were very hot and I could feel the sweat (blah). The socks re thin and nylon, perhaps better for work but not working out.

I have been using these socks for several months with no complaints. They wrap the foot and ankle with good support and are comfortable. Female, small foot.

WARNING: take off at night. Don't use all the time. I had a weird problem with them (CON below). PRO: I used these for a few months (left foot only) because they seemed to work, at least a little, for helping my left ankle stop hurting and, it seems, "stabilize" or not be affected as much by what a podiatrist claimed was calcification in the ankle at the Achilles tendon contact - nothing else showed up when X-rayed and otherwise checked. I pretty much wore them ALL the time. CON?: after several months, I noticed my big toe was pretty tender like my toenail was growing into my toe (on the inside, the side central to my body). It was getting to be a problem potentially impairing my walking at all!! After a few weeks I deduced MAYBE the problem was the compression sock! I took the sock off and now, after a month or so, the toe is mostly back to normal (at least 80% "cured"). Strange. Since my left ankle feels OK I no longer use the sock anyway. It seems to have done the job. IF the compression was creating the toe problem (after a few months), despite not being designed to compress the toes but pulling on them anyway due to the general compression (it was by design a pretty tight sock!), I think I was unwise to leave the sock on at night. By the way, I only wore the Left sock and had zero toe problems with my Right toes. That's a clue, for sure. SUGGESTION: use the sock(s) as little as possible and discontinue if toe tenderness develops. Certainly don't use at night when not using the foot much.

The quality looks exceptionally good. Size was misleading, marked L for both women/men NOT a Mens L. I wear a 9.5/10 size shoe. No way my foot going into that little sock. Return process was very efficient and they were quick to authorize. Will try again but hope to be able to get a real Mens Large size

These work very well. They are good quality. I prefer the full sock vs. the open toe style. In my situation the open toed socks ride up the toes and pinch of my little toe causing a pressure point and pain. I wear them for daily walks and golfing and they provide the stability to my ankles required for these daily activities.

A ver cuanto duran pero la verdad si muy comodos y si hacen paro

I bought these for my son as requested by his physician after he got his cast removed. It kept a nice light compression on his broken foot. Exactly what we needed them for!

Si padeces fascitis plantar no te arrepentirás de comprarlos.
