I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and I was given Naprosen (anti-inflammatory) to take along with exercises I was doing. I ordered the socks and after taking just two pills, I slept with these socks on that night. I know this sounds crazy but the next morning I was actually able to put my foot down on the floor without pain. If you know anything about fasciitis this is when the pain is the worst after having your foot immobile all night. I went back to my foot doctor and told him about the socks and he was sort of surprised, as was I. All the people in my office have ordered these socks and they seem to be helping with whatever is ailing them also. So I would have to say these socks were definitely worth the price and then some.

The only problem is the loops on one of the socks is much smaller. Consequently, the sock gets uncomfortable over time and I usually have to take it off in the middle of the night.

Okay, they do look really nerdy, but they are so much more comfortable than the "gel" type toe stretchers (I have two different types of the gel variety and they both hurt). These socks are very comfortable and are easy to walk in. Even comfortable enough to sleep in. I can see a big improvement in my toe spacing since I started using these.

One gripe; the loops that go between the toes are pretty long and sometimes they pop out, but it is easy enough to tug them back in.

I ordered these to help passively relieve some chronic foot aching (I have flat feet and a history of knee problems, so I'm willing to try pretty much everything). Saw these and read the mostly positive reviews and figured they were worth a shot.

Here's the deal.

They DO stretch your toes. Once you get them on an situated (ladies, it's a lot like wrangling on those little pedicure foam spacers) they do a good job of spacing out your aching metatarsals.

However, I made the mistake of falling asleep with them on. I knew they were snug after wearing them, but I didn't know how snug. By the time I woke up a few hours later (it was a nap, not a full night's sleep) they were digging into my foot around the toes. I was not expecting this AT ALL. It was painful.

You should know that I ordered a small/medium because I have a small, narrow foot (size 6 womens). They were snug, and apparently too tight after some extended use.

To sum: they stretch your toes. BUT these run considerably small. I don't know how much bigger the large would have been - maybe it would have been too big - but the small/medium isn't cutting it for my size 6 feet.

I love my new foot alignment socks. They are much more comfortable than my toe alignment flip flops and yoga toes. I don't think they work as well, but I like that I can sleep in them.

I thought these were so cool. I first saw them in the inflight shopping magazine on an airplane and ordered them on Amazon when I got home. I got to wear them once. I thought they were wonderful and my feet felt really great afterwards. Then I put them in the laundry and now I only have one. I hate it when that happens!

The product did exactly as promised. I have a bunion on my left foot. When I wear these socks in the evening, it really takes that irritating ache away.

I've even slept in them, just sometimes my foot gets hot. So I pull it off sometime during the night. This is definitely a good buy. [...]. They are cheaper. $6.99.

i wear them often and i am noticing a more balanced stance while doing yoga

Awesome product. Very comfortable. Feet feel so much better. Can wear all night long.

These socks are a great idea -- but the design isn't carried out intelligently. They would be ideal of your big toe and your little toe were the same size -- but our foot anatomy isn't designed that way. My problem is that my big toes crush the toes next to them. These sox do a great job of separating those two toes -- but the designer didn't take into account that other toes are smaller and that the fabric separators are too thick for smaller toes. In other words, my smallest toes hurt when I used the sox because the separators are too thick in that area.

These are fabulous!! I'm wearing these right now as I sit at the computer typing. At first, they may be a little uncomfortable, but as your toes get more into the proper alignment, they will be comfortable, and, along with the Yoga Toes, I think they have helped to minimize my crooked toes.
