Strassburg Sock Regular Size (fits calf size up to 16in around)

I have chronic plantar faciitis and have tried two separate hard braces for sleeping. I am thrilled that I found this sock! I will say that it is not as comfortable as sleeping with nothing on my feet (but when I sleep with "free" feet, I pay for it the next day with pain). And it is SO much more comfortable than sleeping with a hard brace. The gentle tension on the toe of the sock is enough to keep my foot stretched, but I can still curl and wiggle my toes, walk around wearing this (not far, but it is possible) and I don't get any discomfort from having my ankle forced to keep a flexed position all night.

I've had these for about a month, and my longstanding achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis went away after 4 days. Once you find out how to wear these comfortably, they totally rock. The keys for me were: 1) not to tighten the calf straps too much, 2) to keep the calf straps at least an inch away from your knees so they don't pinch, and 3) to tighten the toe strap so your foot is at a right angle from my calves, not tighter. That way you can walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night without taking them off. The socks really only work if you can wear them all night. I won't go to sleep without them!

I suffered with plantar fasciitis for the better part of 2009-2010. It seemed to derive from a lot of running and a flat foot. I had to stop running and began searching for solution. Here are the products/medical solutions I have tried: Hard night brace, the 5-minute PF solution manual, the rolling calf stretch device, plantar strengthening block, heel lifts, super feet insoles, SOLE insoles, steroid injections, 2-3 different pairs of running shoes, and the Strassburg sock.

I am pain free today after being unable to even touch the bottom of my foot without searing pain because of the Strassburg sock. I received it in December and by mid February I had stopped wearing it at night. It is easier to sleep with on than the hard splint, easier to travel with, and I had immediate pain relief during the day from it. It took longer to get to full healing but I had tried the other solutions for equally long times and got no results. I was very close to having shockwave therapy done on my foot at a personal cost of $2500 since insurance doesn't cover. I can't believe how simple this solution was. I also have had good success with SOLE insoles and sandals, but I believe those were keeping me from pain, while the sock was healing me.

I bought one of these on the recommendation of a staff member at a local running store for my plantar fasciitis. Wearing this at night and wearing running shoes most other times (i.e., avoiding slip-on and other unsupportive shoes) really helped clear up the pain. It helped enough that I did not need to take a total break from running while waiting to heal. Well worth the cost, which I was initially skeptical about.

I've used it occasionally since, when experiencing Achilles pain and a mild return of plantar fasciitis. It's generally comfortable enough that I can wear it through the night, though it can get kind of hot in warmer temps.

I was convinced by the many positive reviews to give the sock a try. I have used two different hard splints as prescribed by my doctor -one hard plastic & a bit more uncomfortable than most, the other padded & fabric covered but the straps don't stay tight overnight. They are so uncomfortable to sleep in, I thought the sock would be much more tolerable and it seemed like a great idea. But it was just a good idea that doesn't really carry through in the implementation. The Velcro strap does not pull my foot up to a 90 degree angle, all it does is bend my toes up..which gets annoying & constricting. I would wind up wiggling my big toe back away from the tab so it wouldn't get irritated. I was thoroughly disappointed to find that I had pain upon arising -that does not happen in the hard splints that force your foot into the 90 degree angle. I do have big feet (women's size 10.5-11) so I am thinking that maybe that is why the sock doesn't really hold my foot in a flexed state overnight, which is required to prevent the plantar fascia from tightening. Maybe if you have a smaller foot, the strap will actually bend the foot not just the toes. A waste of $$ for me.
