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

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.

I am a size 5 so got a small this item it to big for me , the sock comes up over my knee and the strap is to long so I'm having to adapt it as this is the small one not worth sending back .we'll made and so far does help to relieve pain .

Delivered quickly, helps with the pain and made the problem a lot better, so works fine. Not the most comfortable.

Bought size small, the sock is long enough to go up my thigh. Could be a lot better fitting to get a better result, ended up not using it in the end and went back to a rigid boot.

I ordered a small/medium size which proved ill-fitting because the sock itself was too tight around my leg and the fitting around the top digging so it has been too painful to use. The larger size would be too long to fit.

This device caused me to have cramp. I was hopeful that it would help to ease the problems of plantar fasciitis but it didn’t. I Persevered on hoping it would work but it didn’t

This feels very odd to start with but bear with it.

I have been suffering with achilles tendonitis for 6months...severe pain for an hour each morning.I've been to physio, tried hot cold treatment, stretches, strengthening exercises but it's sill there.Im not saying this has cured me but I have used it for 3 nights and I have had 3 pain free mornings!I still can't run without pain but I hope this contributes to the recovery!ConsIt a bit of trial and error to find a comfortable fit around the feet. I'd recommend not going straight for the full 90 degree hold despite the temptation to go for it.Leaves a bit of a crease mark below the knee.. May be an issue in the summer mornings wearing shorts
