Greater than one weekMy personal experience with these: Pro: Inexpensive for what they are. Pretty easy to put on or off. Light weight but surprisingly good compression ratio. Seems so far to be durable. Con: Know which is left or right (it matters). If these are inside out, you cant tell which is which, even right side out, it only has a small along the lower hem a L or R and for those near sighted, this would be a large problem. Length of wear ability, these can be worn under conventional socks or alone if you arent waring over the toe footwear, the issue is after some time, they do move a little up or down at the ball of the toes and can begin to pinch. If you arent somewhere where you can readily remove them, it become increasingly painful into the agonizing. Side note, knowing when to wear these is important, Ive found for my own use wearing them at night is the most effective, they dont bind or shift and they keep overnight compression so feet dont ache in morning. Wearing them under firm socks is better than loose fitting socks and have another pair in a purse or briefcase etc. so you can duck into a restroom or private and pull off the pair if they are hiking or binding and put on a cool fresh pair. These also need to either be hand washed or on delicate cycle if you dont want them stretched or worn out fast and a delicate mesh bag works fantastic. I would recommend these for the price and effectiveness as long as you know the cons. I ordered another 6 pairs in less than a month, I was happy enough with them so I can have two sets a day, back ups for the aforementioned switch out.

Greater than one weekIf you are searching for an open toe compression sock, you are unlikely to beat this deal of 6 pairs at such a great price! The construction and quality is fantastic, they are easy to put on and take off of your feet, and the level of compression seems to be adequate without being too overwhelming. It is amazing how they were able to design and construct these socks with different levels of tightness in the different areas. You can actually feel the snug fit around forefoot and arch areas, with the socks being more forgiving around the top and bottom edges. Unfortunately for me, when wearing them at night, I would find my feet cramping up in the arch areas. I am guessing it has something to do with my foot problems, but figured I should at least put it out there that compression socks can possibly contribute towards foot cramping in certain individuals. I also found that the support band at the end of the socks by the toes was a little uncomfortable for me wrapped around the Metatarsal area of my feet. This may or may not bother other people depending on how sensitive your feet are. With the above being said, these socks are impressive and you are likely to be very happy with your selection.

> 3 dayI have wide feet, and these socks were uncomfortably tight and ai could only stand to wear them for a few hours when I started using them. After one or two uses however, I must have stretched them out some and they were no longer uncomfortable. They do seem to provide enough compression to reduce some of my plantar fasciitis inflammation, but are not a magic solution.

> 3 dayI bought these to see if they were a good replacement for the dreaded ace bandage I wear daily. Flipthem for better compression on your ankle.

Greater than one weekAfter suffering with plantar fasciitis for 5 months and having tried a few different remedies with little relief, I purchased a pair of these OrthoComfort shoes along and these plantar fasciitis socks. The two working together have provided tremendous support and pain relief. I have been so impressed with both products that I have purchased two additional pairs of the same shoes (in different colors) and two additional 6 packs of these socks. I highly recommend both!

> 3 dayI couldn’t place my heel on the ground because of the nerve damage but when I put this sock on I am able to walk normally with moderate pain. At least I’m not limping.

> 3 dayIve read the following reviews and debated if I should go M or L. Ive gotten the L and it fits well! Im size 7.5, but wear 8.5 Hoka Bondi shoes, if my sizing references help. Ive always worn flip flops/slippers my entire life so I have wide feet, but skinny ankles. Ages ago when they taped your ankle, I dont think they do this method as much anymore, but when theres too much pressure on the side of my foot it hurts, so Im glad I got the L size. Ive sprained my ankle during sports activities when I was younger, now at an older age, mid 40s my ankles arent as strong anymore, but I am a weekend warrior. Hike, jog, walk, beach vb. The sprains comes and goes so I was told by my PT to get compression socks. I wear a clean pair while I sleep and feels great! I also wear them playing beach vb and it kept my ankle warm and Im able to have mobility and not stiff yet still have the support! Love it!

> 3 dayI dont know how it works...but Ive had horrible heel/bone spur type pain from my plantar fasciitis for the past six or seven months. I got a cortisone shot around four months ago, because the pain was such that it was making me walking funny, which was causing knee, hip, and back pain. Ive been doing all the icing, stretching, and rolling. Those things helped. But I just put these socks on and the heel spur pain is non-existent when I stand up. I know Ive only worn them for five minutes, but Im just in complete awe.
