FS6 Compression Foot Sleeves for Women & Men, Helps Plantar Fasciitis Relief, Heel Pain, Achilles Tendonitis Support & Swelling (1 Pair)

I have been dealing with Plantar Fasciitis for about a year now. I am a tour leader, and thus am on my feet for hours, walking miles per day some days. The pain had gotten worse, but I was determined to make it better, so I began the task of researching all my options via the Internet. I looked at stretches, insoles, boots, and advice for staying off the foot (not an option for me). I did have a period of 6 weeks off from work recently that I intended to use to fix this problem to the extent possible, not intending to get much further than a reduction in pain. Most reputable sites (Mayo Clinic, NIH, etc.) tell the reader to expect a 10-12 month recovery period at the minimum. I started doing stretches. I bought a boot to wear at night (that thing, purchased from a major chain pharmacy, was fairly worthless, bulky and annoying to sleep with). I bought a pair of insoles to put into my walking/hiking shoes but I'm not sure how much they really helped since the shoes already had very good support. I tried to avoid walking long distances (more than around the house and into stores), especially without supportive shoes on my feet, and let me tell you, that's easier said than done. While I did notice an improvement in early morning discomfort, none of my efforts really felt like they would have benefited me in the long run when I returned to my work, being on my feet all day long. Finally I decided to give this little foot sleeve a try about 2 weeks prior to my return to work. I wish I had bought them sooner! Somehow the compression on this sleeve seems to not only support my arch when walking and putting pressure on the foot, but also to, for lack of a better way to put it, hold everything in place for proper healing when worn at rest (i.e. while sleeping). I wear it when hiking up to 6 miles per day plus general walking around time, take a break from it (since it is a compression device and the foot needs a chance to rest from it), and put it on to wear at night. Occasionally, I wake up in the night feeling a little rubbing sensation around my ankle or near my toes, but I'm able to take it off for immediate relief and go back to sleep. The instructions say to wear it no more than 8 hours straight, then remove for at least 1 hour before putting it back on. Since I have this issue in only one foot, I am able to alternate days with the pair, which hopefully gives the compression elastics a chance to recover. I hand-wash the sleeves and expect to replace them in 6 months or so, if still needed, based on the manufacturer's recommendation. Overall, I am beyond extraordinarily happy with this product. What I anticipated being a lengthy and possibly futile (given my profession) recovery period has turned out to be a short breeze. I have gone the last two days without wearing the sleeve because I forgot! That's how much better my foot feels. I'll make a point to wear it at night from now on until there is absolutely no hint/twinge of pain when walking in my less supportive, but cute, sandals, and always when working and walking long distances. I can't say enough about how well this is working for me.

. SO FAR SO GOOD.. Previously, I Bought the small/MEDIUM "Feetures" brand (Feetures Plantar Fasciitis Single Sleeve Size S/M) It came as a single sleeve from Amazon, but for a few bucks more plus 8 for shipping I got this pair from ING Source. These are the exact same weave and size as the Feetures (it just says FS6 on the outside rim instead of Feetures.) Still, the Feetures single sleeve I bought has "FS6" stitched on the inside of the upper cuff.. So it is probably same manufacturer. I've been wearing it 24/7 for 2 weeks (obtaining noticeable results) (when i read reviews, I want to know product info - Size and Fit - not shipping ) Buy two if you need one, so you can have one in the wash. (they get spunky from being in shoe all the time) Hence, for comparison: My foot is 26.5 cm (not narrow, but not wide) Men's Shoe size 8.5 to 9.5 THIS Small/Med FITS GREAT!! Snug - Not too tight - Not too loose Many people with plantar fasciitis complain it lingers like an old war injury that never goes away. Unfortunately, the 1st 2 months I didn't do much other than a cheap silicone shoe insert.. And my problem got worse.. Now I am going into all out war against it, since it is lingering and I don't want to fight it the rest of my life. What i did to help cure my foot: SLEEP WEARING: JOBAR - Plantar Fasciitis Splint - THIS DESIGN WORKS - Toes pulled from higher up on the leg . Positives: 1. It does what it is supposed to. It actively draws-up toes to keep Fascia in a stretched position. 2. It is very inexpensive. Negatives: 1. Digs into leg at front of leg above shin (so it's not as comfortable as it could be) 2. Digs into foot at bottom of foot as the foot is pulled up. ALL in ALL: STRETCH arch and foot twice a day (at least) JOBAR brace - Nightly FEETURES Sleeve - 24/7 ORTHERA Orthotic - Daily (Orthera Dress Orthotic Inserts, Mens size 9.5-11) Ice - At night after work (reduce inflammation) [Frozen 1 liter bottle of ice rolling on ground with arch of foot.] Naproxin - Morning and Night (reduce inflammation) Update: Almost 1 1/2 yr late I can say plantar fasciitis 99% gone.. and yet still careful of what shoes i buy Note: photos of compression sleeve after many many hot machine washings.. even with bleach.. (see how the top hem came undone and yet it only made it slimmer to fit under socks)

This foot sleeve works wonders! I bought it to help alleviate some foot pain I was feeling after doing much walking during a trip. Before ordering, I made sure to order according to arch size, as recommended by others, and not by foot size. The sleeve fits like a comfortably tight hug but it's a compression sock so as long as my foot's not turning purple or blue, it's all good! After 15 minutes of wear, I noticed that my pain was not as severe, though still present. The sock has a slight chemical smell that goes away with a good initial hand wash. Since the pain was only in one foot, I keep the other one in the box until the first one gets worn out. For the first day, I wore the sleeve for two hours and then wore it at night for about four days, then for two weeks about four hours on, two hours off, and continued to wear it at night. If I ever had to go anywhere, I wore the sleeve with the Pedag Holiday 3/4 Leather Semi-Rigid Orthotic . On the third week, I stopped wearing the OrthoSleeve because my pain pretty much went away and it only felt tight on my foot. Now, I still wear the Pedag orthotics to help support my arches. Amazingly, this combo worked out and I never went to see a doctor (even though I should have, just in case). I'm not sure if I had a case of plantar fasciitis and/or fallen arches but orthotics + OrthoSleeve = pain gone! I really have to emphasize to others reading this that I did my research and made sure to measure my arches in order to get the proper compression sock and orthotics. There's also the arch test (google it) where you dip your foot in water and step on a paper towel. If the arch area is: mostly wet = low/fallen arches (tendency to pronate/walking angled inwards), somewhat wet = medium/average arch, mostly dry = high arch (tendency to supinate/walking angled outwards).

I am so happy that I bought this for my left plantar fasciitis. I originally ordered a single sleeve to see if I liked it. Since then, I have ordered 4 more because the product is so effective. I started with moderate PF in one foot (pain with first step in the morning, tightness throughout the day, but generally able to walk without pain -- jumping would aggravate the pain however). I tried stretching and massage but it wasn't enough to relieve my PF (you can actually use a can of soup and roll it which is easier than a tennis ball and cheaper than buying a product -- I put my can in a shoebox cover to keep it in one place). After wearing the foot sleeve during the daytime only, for 2.5 months, my PF is 95% improved. I still have some mild tightness, but my first step in the morning is just tight, not painful at all. I did try wearing the sleeve at night but it is too tight and I take it off because it wakes me from sleep. During the day when my foot is dorsi-flexed (partially bent with the toes up and not down) the sleeve is completely comfortable and actually makes my foot feel better. It is only uncomfortable at night. I wear a women's size 6.5 shoe. I bought the sleeves in small/medium (label inside the sleeve) and they fit well.

I have extremely flat feet, which makes me nearly want to kill myself when I worked as a server. It became extremely unbearable, to the point where it looked like I needed to pee every second. I decided to look for different products that would help me ease my pain as a temporary solution. I am a 9.5 for footwear, and I needed to get a medium to get the full effect of the socks. Keep in mind, it is meant to feel snug on your feet. I have tried many different socks, soles, insert, and new shoes, but all of them didn’t seem to quite make the pain go away. Some of the socks I got were a bit lose, and I was unhappy with the arch support it gave. The moment I wore this sock, it was extremely snug. Some may even think it is a little too tight. I had to loosen my shoes a bit because I was wearing this under my socks. It felt EXTREMELY weird at first, but, the next day, you feel like you NEED it. I didn’t even think about my feet that day, due to the minute amount of pain from my heel. Unfortunately, one pair ripped, so I might need a replacement one soon, but, to be fair, I used it for 3 days a week for 5 months. They can take quite a beating, and the good part is, it still works! For those that have plantar fascilitis and have immense heel pain after standing for long hours, then try out this product. I believe it will be a solution to your problem (even if it is a temporary solution). 9 out of 10!

This is a mixed review because I have pros and cons regarding these compression sleeves. I came down with plantar fasciitis in both feet, as well as Achilles tendinitis (small tears) from running. It's been a long ordeal and I've received various forms of treatment. That being said, I purchased these sleeves after an employee at a running store said they worked for her. I bought them through Amazon because they were in stock and at a better price than the running store. I tried wearing them at night, as suggested. This was to keep my feet in a more flexed position while sleeping, so that the pain wouldn't be as severe in the morning. I attempted this on multiple nights, but could never get through a night without my feet beginning to ache from the tight compression. I would have to pull them off mid way through the night and then suffer through the pain in the morning when getting out of bed. So, for night time compression, they did not work for me. Now for the positive side of this: For my job, I had to take a physical fitness test, which requires me to do a sprint and a 2 mile run. There was no way I could get through it without pain or possibly causing more tears in my Achilles, so I wore these compression sleeves to get me through the test. They worked perfectly. I paid for it after I took them off, but for the test, they held everything together, especially my Achilles during the sprint. I will continue using these in the future for any running I am required to do. Hopefully everything will heal soon and I can avoid these altogether and get back to running!

I wouldn't have thought that a knitted item could bring so much pain relief, but these really do work. I've developed a severe case of plantar fasciitis, mostly by ignoring severe heel pain for several years until it was virtually unbearable. Only then did I research it and find out what was causing the problem. By then, I was at a point where I could barely walk after sitting in a chair for a while, lying in bed for a while, or doing any sort of weight-bearing activity. I mean ANY sort. Even walking. Of all the remedies I have tried since figuring out the problem, these socks seem to be the most helpful. They can be worn all day inside most of my shoes, and sometimes in combination with other things, like those splints they sell at the drug stores that you wear at night. The socks provide instant relief as soon as I put them on. As long as the socks are kept in place, my foot is pain-free. After just a few days, my foot is pain-free even without the socks. This was an excellent purchase. Highly recommended. I was unsure what size to order, so I ordered the medium. It's perfect. I wear a size 8WW women's shoe. The medium is the right fit to provide even compression without pinching or binding anywhere. Good product, well worth the price.

I always read reviews from both the high and low ends, so I knew some folks had experienced additional pain as a result of these compression sleeves, but as the majority hadn't, I risked it. Turns out I fall into the minority; these not only DON'T help, they really make everything worse. The days on which I wore these, my pain was so completely unbearable that I could hardly walk. Wearing then at night actually makes the morning pain worse, which I hardly thought possible. Then the day after I wore them, I was still in more pain. It takes about 48 hours to return to 'normal', which is a pretty painful place to be already. To be fair, I have an extreme case of PF, going on 8 months, with no relief from PT or cortisone. Night splints, proper orthotics, and shoes recommended by my doc offer some relief, and I was hoping these would offer even more. I'm sad that they don't work for me, but I know those for whom they do work, so it really is a case-by-case basis. You might be better off buying them from a running shop with a good return policy before committing. I tried them for about a month, so it's too late for me to return them now.

I love these! I have been wearing them for about a month now. I can wear them with any shoes ( even flip flops) and gives my feet great support. They have made such a difference in my feet. At the beginning I wore them 24/7 but now I feel the need to wear them during the day at work. I have bought extras now that I see how great the first pair were.

Tout à fait le produit que je cherchais! Discret, je peux l'associer à la quasi totalité de mes chaussures, pas uniquement pour le sport mais jolies chaussures de ville également et ma cheville n'enfle plus du tout. Donc une contention efficace qui ne me gêne pas du tout!

Oprime lo necesito para calmar el dolor

Ottima compressione! Buon prodotto, fatto molto bene!

I thought I would try these foot sleeves as a last resort really. I have suffered with heel and arch pain for over 12 months and was told i had planter fasciitis. I was told to try strapping my foot for support but came across the fs6 whilst reaserching my foot condition. There has been a huge improvement after wearing them for around a month, the relief was almost immediate after pulling the sleeve into position. They provide fantastic support around the arch and this was very noticeable during the first few hours. I realised one morning that i was not hobbling around anymore and can now walk comfortably and be on my feet doing normal things like I used to. I still wear the sleeve for a few hours a day and will gradually reduce wear until I feel completely confident that my foot is healed. This product has been amazing and worth the money, I would say to give it a chance over a few weeks/month or so to give your foot a chance to recover, I am very pleased with it.
